This just in from J:

” How do you obtain the contact information for producers?   I want to target producers, and I have some in mind who have worked on similar projects, but I have no idea how to get in touch with them.  Any suggestions??”

The quick answer is IMDB. This is the motherlode of contact and other Hollywood information.  In some cases, information is only available if you subscribe to IMDBpro, but it’s well worth it. How else would I know that Hugh Grant and I are born exactly one month apart? I also know, thanks to IMDB, that Hugh John Mungo Grant:

• Has long wanted to make a film about his grandfather’s real life escape from a prisoner of war camp during WWII.
• Graduated from Oxford University with a degree in English (1982)
• His favorite artist is Patrick Rondat.
• Had a skate accident when he was a teenager. Part of the bone in his elbow is still detached from the other bones and “swims” freely between the skin and his elbow.
• Fluent in French.
• Piano teacher, when he was a child, was Andrew Lloyd Webber‘s mother.
• In 2001, he purchased an Andy Warhol painting of Elizabeth Taylor for just under $4 million. He later sold it in 2007 for $23.5 million.

Funny, my Warhol didn’t go for nearly as much.
