George Segal in ‘‘Kosygin is Coming”’ a er , r ssa sues
Temple on Wednesday from a script by Brad Nuber of Hollywood, now resident in Vancouver. It is described aS a suspense-murder mystery of the Hitchcock genre, and was slated to be done in San Francisco, but on the heels of Bulldog Productions’ ‘love affair’ with Vancouver, Kosygin is Coming, which actually stars this city, New Century decided to switch the locale.
The budget is $500,000. It may possibly sport an American director. Negotiations are underway with Leslie Charleson, star of several TV movies, (The Black Box Murders), and George Peppard who is no stranger to Vancouver.
Brickell has produced no features before but was connected with Roma Films in producing commercials for the biggies such as Coca Cola! Lensing start is scheduled for June lst, God and the Angels willing.
Leaves fluttering in the wind include the possibility of Grade Three Productions of Hollywood rolling out the wagons in a Western at Barkerville and Duck Lake this summer. It is a yarn about bandits from Kamloops. Barkerville is the ‘show town,’ resurrected from B.C.’s past where Rogellio Gonzales, Jr. lensed The Naked Man. This film was made to out-Peckinpah Peckinpah, and is probably giving the Mexicans ideas along those lines.
Old British Columbian Billy Mclliryde, (Bill Braden), is expected in town to discuss a feature film, probably scripted by partner Geoffrey Bloom (Dog Pound Shuffle, 11 Harrow Street.)

Speaking of rustling leaves of rumour, no one here seems knowledgeable about the Harold Greenberg, Bellevue-Pathé-Astral films to be made in British Columbia. But even from rumours this end of the country tips it’s cap and trusts for further favours. Even an exciting nudie would be acceptable.
