Circle Of Friends

George Gallo, who wrote such action comedies as "Bad Boys" and "Midnight Run" will sit in the big chair for the upcoming indie thriller "Columbus Circle" says The Hollywood Reporter.

A reclusive heiress (Selma Blair) who lives in an upscale Manhattan apartment building is forced-to-face with her fears when a detective (Giovanni Ribisi) shows up to investigate a homicide next door and the new couple (Amy Smart, Jason Lee) that moves in to that apartment.

Actor Kevin Pollak who co-wrote the script with Gallo, plays the building's concierge and one of the heiress' few friends.

Shooting kicks off this month in Los Angeles.
