LOS ANGELES - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Belltower Entertainment (OTCBB:BTOW)
announced today that it has formally engaged Paul Cuschieri to write the
screenplay adaptation of "Smokescreen," based on Robert Sabbag's
best-selling book of the same name. An action-adventure, "Smokescreen"
tells the unbelievable "true life tale about Allen Long, a frustrated
American documentary filmmaker who began smuggling pot out of Mexico and
then Colombia in the seventies, featuring countless near-death episodes,
in a rickety marijuana stuffed DC-3." - The New Yorker. Belltower
plans to begin filming in Fall 2010, with a target release date in the
Spring of 2011.
Belltower now has three feature films in various phases of development
and pre-production.

("Invincible" ) to direct "Dance The Green," a collaboration with Academy
Award-winning writer Barry Morrow ("Rain Man" ) which tells the story of
legendary golfer Moe Norman. "Dance The Green" will begin shooting on
location in Florida and Pittsburgh in spring 2010.
Earlier this year, Belltower announced "Little Treasure," (formerly
known as "A Kid for Christmas" ) a family comedy written by Josh
Goldstein (Fresh Prince of BelAir, HBO'S Arli$$ and
Disney's "Jungle Cruise" ). "Little Treasure," to be directed by Michael
Olmos, is currently casting and is slated to begin pre-production by the
end of this year in Shanghai, China.
Cuschieri is repped by David Krintzman.

satellite office in Shanghai. Led by founder and CEO Donald Bell,
