A new article in the Hollywood Reporter mentions that Jaime Pressly is currently shooting a new film called “Sandra Brown’s Smoke Screen” in Vancouver.

One of the two movies, which have not been announced by domestic rights holder Lifetime Movie Network, is the suspense thriller “Sandra Brown’s Smoke Screen,” now shooting in Vancouver and starring Jaime Pressly and Canadian Currie Graham. It’s written by Karen Stillman and directed by Gary Yates (who is not a DGA member, nor is it a DGA production, according to a guild spokesperson).

…His attorney said “Smoke Screen” is now being produced by Canadian companies Seven24 Films and Smoke Screen Prods.; both apparently are special-purpose corporations formed for this movie. He said the Canadian producers have sold international rights to both movies to Sony Pictures Television.

A Sony TV spokeswoman said the company bought “Smoke Screen” from Brooks, and not just the international rights.

…Since production on “Smoke Screen” began Aug. 9, the union representing most of the actors has changed to the Union of British Columbia Performers, a local union in Vancouver. This apparently does not include Pressly, who continues to be covered by SAG.
Michael Feeney, senior vp corporate communications at AETN, said the company learned of Brooks’ financial problems in late July from a media report. He said Brooks did bring it “Smoke Screen” and “Strike,” and they were acquired before AETN became aware of Brooks’ strike listing.

…Before Brooks’ decision to sell his interest in the Lifetime movies, a spokesman for the WGA West said the guild was aware that a member had worked on “Smoke Screen” through a company that is a signatory to the WGA of Canada agreement.

According the article, Sony TV has bought the rights to the film – so that means that we will *hopefully* be able to see it in 2011!

According to The Mirror, Jaime Pressly will be starring in the new comedy “Hotel Caledonia” alongside Gillian Anderson and Kelly Brook.

She will also appear next to Gillian Anderson and Jaime Pressly in the American comedy Hotel Caledonia, about backpackers in Scotland.

The film has a website at hotelcaledoniamovie.com and is set for a release sometime in 2010.

In “Six Month Rule,” Martin Starr (“Party Down”) stars as a guy who has just gotten dumped and needs to learn the rules of being single. According to his best friend, you can get over anyone in six months by following a few simple steps.

The film, which producers hope to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, also features Jaime Pressly (“My Name is Earl”) and Natalie Morales (“Parks and Recreation”) … not to mention Vanessa Branch from those Orbitz “dirty mouth” commercials.

Per the movie’s official synopsis: “Tyler Watts [Blayne Weaver] lives by certain rules. The most important is the ’6 Month Rule,’ which states that there is no woman you can’t get over in six months. When his best friend [Starr] gets dumped, Tyler takes him under his wing and sets out to teach him the rules of being single.”

Of course, rules are meant to be broken, so along the way Tyler meets his perfect girl, who changes his perspective entirely.

Daemon’s TV

“My Name Is Earl’s” Jaime Pressly has signed to star in CBS’ untitled Bays/Thomas comedy pilot.

The multicamera comedy — penned by “How I Met Your Mother’s” Carter Bays, Craig Thomas, Kourtney Kang and Joe Kelly — revolves around an unmarried couple, Tommy (Kyle Bornheimer) and Gina, and their friends in Pittsburgh.

The CAA-repped Pressly will play Tommy’s best friend, a veterinarian who works with him at the local zoo.

This marks the TV return of Pressly, who won an Emmy for her role on “Earl.”

She follows in the footsteps of fellow cast members Jason Lee, who headlines the new TNT series “Delta Blues” and Ethan Suplee who co-stars on the Fox comedy pilot “Nevermind Nirvana.” Both “Nirvana” and the Bays/Thomas comedy are produced by 20th TV, which also produced “Earl.”
