Destination Films Reaches Final Stop

By Dana Harris

HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Independent distributor Destination Films closed its doors
for good and
pink-slipped all employees at the end of business Friday, when the company was no
longer able to meet payroll
to continue operations.

It has yet to be determined how its three remaining titles will be handled: ``Slackers,''
starring Devon Sawa;
``Buying the Cow,'' starring Jerry O'Connell; and ``Ring of Fire,'' starring Kiefer
Sutherland.

All three were originally slated for the last quarter of 2000 but were pushed forward
when the company no
longer had the funds to cover their release.

Another source says:

Most of Destination's unreleased projects likely would be sold along with its
other assets if the company files for bankruptcy.

JERRY IN ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY FEBRUARY 16th

2/09/01

Entertainment weekly has a small interview with Jerry regarding "Tomcats" in the spring movie preview. Here's what he has to say:

For O'Connell, "Tomcats" wasn't really a crazy envelope-pushing sex comedy: it was more like a sober documentary filmmaking. "This is what we call NAN: No Acting Necessary," says the 26-year-old veteran of "Jerry Maguire" and "Mission to Mars". "Guys who make a bet where the last bachelor standing gets the pot? That's par for the course for me." Whoa, there, Jer - you sure you want that in print? After all, you're playing a debt-laden commitment-phobe who schemes with a stone-cold fox (Shannon Elizabeth) to marry off his rich friend (Jake Busey) in order to win said wager. "I am basically the same player I play in the movie," O'Connell admits, adding that when it came to his kissing scenes with costar Elizabeth (American Pie), "I had to do everything in my power to remind myself that this is a job - she's not into me." Will audiences have the stomach for a Tom Green-inspired gag involving a cancerous testicle? And will they accept "Politically Incorrect's" Bill Maher as a sleazy casino owner? For those keeping score at home, the answers are "probably" and "absolutely."
