(Los Angeles, CA)--Beloved Pictures has just entered into a six-figure deal with Cinco Paul (Horton Hears a Who, College Road Trip, Santa Clause 2) and Jon Hale to begin pre-production on their screenplay entitled, Nora.

The film, set in New Haven, CT, tells the incredible story of a family's loss, grief, and redemption. By turns poignant and hilarious, this masterfully crafted story answers the question of how individuals �move on� after losing those they love the most.

Caleb Applegate, President of Beloved Pictures said, �Not only did we find this to be one of the most brilliantly executed scripts that we had seen, but the way in which Cinco and Jon dealt with the character�s psychology andscope was profoundly believable and fantastically multidimensional.�

The project was first discovered by Robert Abramoff, Vice-President of Beloved Pictures. �I have known Cinco for years and have wanted to work with him for a long time. This project is a unique blend of a heart-wrenching story along with often hilarious situations that everyone can relate to.�

The film will be produced by Applegate, Abramoff and Michael Ludlum of Beloved Pictures. Cinco Paul and Jon Hale are also attached as executive producers. Paul is best known for scripting recent box office successes Horton Hears a Who and College Road Trip. He also co-wrote Despicable Me starring Steve Carell & Julie Andrews, currently in production at Universal.

The producers are actively meeting with directors and talent alike for the film.
