Breakthrough Signs Co-Pro Deal for Mystery Movies

CANNES: Breakthrough Entertainment is to co-produce a string of made-for-TV mystery movies, to star Kelly Rowan, with Salient Point Productions and Colossal Entertainment. 

Rowan (The O.C., Flashpoint) will portray Rebecca Kane, assistant to the chief of police in a depressing fishing town. Kane has served time for a crime she didn’t commit, and now sees justice as being very personal. Rebecca Kane is created and written by Donald Martin (The Three Gifts, Mending Fences, The Staircase Murders). 

Marina Cordoni, the executive producer of movies for Breakthrough, said, “Breakthrough is thrilled to be working with actor-producer Kelly Rowan, producer Graham Ludlow and established writer Donald Martin on this new wheel of mystery movies. Our collective experience as producers, and Breakthrough’s experience in financing and distribution makes for a perfect partnership. Rebecca Kane is a smart character for television—full of spirit, compelling challenges and suspense.”

"Kelly and I are thrilled to be collaborating with Donald Martin and Breakthrough Entertainment on the Rebecca Kane movies,” added producer Graham Ludlow.

"In Rebecca Kane, Donald Martin has created a fascinating, multi-dimensional character. I look forward to portraying her,” commented Rowan.
