CBS Films wants Vengeance

CBS Films is hooking itself up with some Vengeance as it sets itself up to acquire the action pitch. Put together by scribe Robert Mark Kamen, here’s more on the description from Variety on what it’s about:

“Basically, it’s a contemporary revenge love story — what happens when violence meets love,” Kamen said. “The main characters are 20 and Italian, and there are themes that echo films like ‘The Godfather.’ It’s about family loyalty and how much someone owes their family and the past. It’s not set in the gangster milieu but just outside it.”

Kamen has been having a good year with his movie pitches being acquired from other production companies. The pitch for the January 2009 Liam Neeson film Taken became a monster sleeper hit for the start of this year. He currently finished writing up a story line for a sequel to the film, possibly starting up a filming date sometime this next year.
