Verdi-Corrente Prods. signs "Twilight" actor Peter Facinelli to star in a pair of features, both directed by Michael Corrente -- drama-comedy "Loosies" and biopic "Paz," based on boxer Vinnie Pazienza.
"Loosies" is in pre-production, with production slated for mid-summer. "Paz" will launch in early 2011.
Facinelli, who will be a producer on both pics, has portrayed the Carlisle Cullen character in the first two "Twilght" installments and is set to return in the third pic, "Eclipse," set for a June release. He's also starring in Showtime's dark comedy series "Nurse Jackie."
Facinelli penned "Loosies," in which he'll portray a young, successful pickpocket in the New York subways living the fast, free, outlaw lifestyle until confronted with an old one-night stand who informs him that she is pregnant with his child.
"Paz" centers on Pazienza's comeback from a near-fatal car accident that left him with a broken neck. Told by doctors he would never walk again, Paz trained in secret and was able to re-enter the ring.
Corrent's producing both films and Chad A. Verdi's the co-producer of both. Corrente's credits include "American Buffalo," "Outside Providence" and "Brooklyn Rules."
