West Coast plans pix

'Plaza,' 'Commandments' set for next year

West Coast Film Partners has set plans to finance, produce and distribute two features, "Sunset Plaza" and "The Devil’s Commandments," next year.

The shingle plans to begin shooting "Sunset Plaza," an $8 million comedy centered on an actress’s rise to stardom, in the spring in Los Angeles. Horror-thriller "The Devil’s Commandments" will begin lensing in the fall with a $10 million budget.

West Coast is financing the films through foreign private equity funds. It plans to open a London office shortly.

West Coast principals include Klay Shroedel, Robert Shroedel, Stephan Gray and Joerg Fronzke.

Klay Shroedel is also founder and CEO of home entertainment producer-distributor Cineco. Shroedel has negotiated and managed licensing agreements for the first three films in the "Wishmaster" series, "The Substitute 2" and "3," "Permanent Midnight," "Belly," "The Candyman III" and "Suicide Kings."
