Production to Commence on New IFC Series

MONTREAL: Muse Entertainment Enterprises and Just For Laughs Television are to begin production this week in Montreal on IFC’s new original scripted series Bullet in the Face, which will feature guest stars Eddie Izzard and Eric Roberts.

The six-part, half-hour comedic action thriller will debut on IFC in summer 2012. Creator and executive producer Alan Spencer (Sledge Hammer!) developed the series with producers and executive producers Jesse Prupas and Evi Regev of Muse Entertainment and Just For Laughs Television. The series stars Max Williams, Neil Napier, Jessica Steen and Kate Kelton. It is directed and co-executive produced by Erik Canuel (Barrymore, Bon Cop, Bad Cop). The series features a sociopathic criminal who is given a new face and forced by police to work undercover following a botched jewel heist.

“Bullet in the Face melds the best of the action/thriller genre with IFC’s comedic sensibility,” said Debbie DeMontreux, the senior VP of original programming at IFC. “This is television like viewers have never seen before and Alan Spencer is the perfect ‘slightly off’ talent to help us bring this new format to audiences.”

“Just for Laughs and Muse Entertainment have long been searching for a unique and edgy comedy to produce together and we were thrilled to find a fantastic and supportive broadcast partner in IFC. We are proud to say that Bullet in the Face is unlike anything else out there, combining hilarity, thrills and non-stop action,” commented Michael Prupas of Muse Entertainment and Bruce Hills of Just for Laughs, executive producers.
