FOX Press Release:

Production Begins On First Film From "Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang" Series

Jason Priestley (BEVERLY HILLS, 90210) directs and co-stars with Nick Lea (THE X-FILES) and Holt McCallany ("Fight Club") in KISS TOMORROW GOODBYE, the first film from FOX's new "Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang" series of Nineties Noir movies inspired by 20th Century Fox classic "B" films of the '40s and '50s. Production began this week on KISS TOMORROW GOODBYE, which will air on FOX during the 1999-2000 season, it was announced today by Doug Herzog, President of Entertainment for FOX.

"The FOX vaults are full of wonderful films from the '40s and '50s," said Marci Pool, Senior Vice President, Movies and Miniseries for FOX Television Productions. "There's a wealth of wise-cracking, drop-dead gorgeous characters hell-bent on getting in and out of trouble. We're taking those characters and stories and reworking them with a '90s perspective and a FOX attitude."

In KISS TOMORROW GOODBYE, Dustin Yarma (Lea) is easy to envy. He has the house, the car, the studio title, the girls and his best friend Jarred (Priestley) to share his good fortune. But one moody summer night, that all changes. Blind drunk after a wedding, Dustin grabs one of the girls lap dancing in the limo and goes for a moonlight walk on the beach. The next thing he knows, he's lying on the sand in his tux being awakened by a smelly bum named Minnow (McCallany), who's talking about the dead girl sprawled nearby. It seems Minnow witnessed Dustin kill the girl in the heat of passion and now the police are on the way. But Minnow has a proposal. He'll take care of the body if Dustin takes care of him. It seems a clean and easy way for Dustin to keep the enviable life he's worked so hard to get. But things are rarely as easy as they seem and Dustin's dirty little secret is about to turn his world upside down.

KISS TOMORROW GOODBYE is a FOX Television Studios Production. Elliot Lewis Rosenblatt ("Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas") is producer. Jason Priestley, whose directing credits include a documentary on the musical group Barenaked Ladies and episodes of "The Outer Limits" and BEVERLY HILLS, 90210, directs the screenplay by Ozzie Cheek.
