“Extreme Dating" GETS MORE PLAYERS

Los Angeles, CA, February 8, 2002: Actor/Singer Meat Loaf Aday (Focus, Fight Club, Wayne’s World) and Amanda Foreman (WB’s Felicity, Forever Young) will be added to the cast of Filmstar Productions’ indie comedy, Extreme Dating, for director Lorena David (Eastside, Outta Time). Aday and Foreman join Devon Sawa (Final Destination), Amanda Detmer (The Majestic), Jamie-Lynn Sigler (HBO’s The Soprano’s) and Andrew Keegan (10 Things I Hate About You) in the film, which started production this week in Los Angeles.

Extreme Dating focuses on twenty-something single friends who decide the only way to win over one’s true love is to bond through an extreme circumstance. Employees at a hip advertising agency, the friends go to outrageous lengths to set up these creative love connections involving unsuspecting participants. Meat Loaf plays Marshall Jackson, a high-profile, high-maintenance client, who gets caught in an extreme date gone wrong. Amanda Foreman is Tracy, one of the “victims” of an especially embarrassing extreme date with Daniel (Sawa), which is set up by friends Troy (Keegan) and Lindsey (Detmer).

Extreme Dating is produced by Mark Roberts and executive produced by Filmstar Productions’ Larry Crowder and John Powell. The film is penned by Jeff Schectman and was cast by Joseph Middleton (Legally Blonde). Filmstar recently released the film Poor White Trash starring Sean Young, Jamie Pressley and Jason London. Their latest release is Outta Time starring Mario Lopez, Ali Landry and John Saxon set for release by ARTISAN at the end of March 2002.

Meat Loaf Aday, known for his great musical talents and his notorious 1977 album Bat Out of Hell, has also enjoyed a prodigious acting career as well. He recently starred opposite Brad Pitt and Edward Norton in Fight Club and with Melanie Griffith in Crazy in Alabama, directed by Antonio Banderas. His other film credits include Wayne’s World and Leap Of Faith. Currently he can be seen in the award winning film Focus co-starring with William H. Macy.

Amanda Foreman is best known as the outrageous Meghan Rotundi on the WB’s Felicity. She has also appeared in the HBO original movie Breast Men with David Schwimmer and Showtime’s The Gift, directed by Laura Dern. Feature film roles include Sliver with Sharon Stone, Forever Young with Mel Gibson and On The Line with N’Sync members Joey Fatone and Lance Bass.
