Justin Berfield is facing legal action over a planned movie about the life of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar. Berfield and his company J2 Pictures are being sued by bosses at distribution firm Essential Entertainment – who claim they have been left $150,000 out of pocket after plans for the movie fell through.
The lawsuit, filed at Los Angeles Superior Court, alleges that Essential Entertainment has been stuck with thousands of dollars of expenses after the film – which was to be directed by Oscar-winner Oliver Stone – was shelved, according to TMZ.com. Jason Felts, Justin’s partner in J2 Pictures said he was surprised and hadn’t done anything wrong.
The fate of the film seems unclear, but it does have a official website, but no real content.

Ok…so not quite yet, but he has booked a seat aboard the first commercial space flight, Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic, set for late 2009/early 2010.
The former Malcolm In The Middle star, a pal of Branson’s, plans to turn his brief space adventure into a new book.
Berfield’s spokeswoman says, “Justin considers Branson a genius and is one of the few people that he would follow just about anywhere.
“He’s a frequent guest at Branson’s ultra luxury island home, Necker, in the British Virgin Islands, and now he’s heading into space.”
Branson’s White Knight Two commercial spacecraft will take off for the first time in late 2009 or early 2010, full of celebrities and space-loving rich kids.
The two-and-a-half hour trip is expected to include about five minutes of weightlessness in space.
Berfield’s aide adds, “Justin will be joined by other celebrities with confirmed boarding passes, such as Madonna + Tom Hanks.”
Justin is a supporter of Branson’s charity, Virgin Unite. The goal of the charity is to make sustainable change through economic development towards tough social and environmental issues, which includes addressing the issue of delivering healthcare to rural parts of Africa.

Justin Berfield and his production company, J2 Pictures, are working with the Cayman Islands Government and local investors to establish an official film commission in that country.
Former “Malcolm in the Middle” star Justin Berfield, and frequent visitor to Cayman, has confirmed his company’s discussions with the Cayman Islands Government and local investors to establish an official film commission to service all of the Cayman Islands, a press release said.
Recognizing that tourism and banking are the primary industries that the island benefits from, Berfield’s goal was to formally introduce a whole other industry to the government and people of Cayman.
“The island is so conducive to many different types of filming and can double as many different locations,” Berfield said. “There is so much local talent in Cayman in terms of not only on camera, but trade, electricians, sound engineers, and transportation. The Cayman Islands have done a very good job of servicing tourists. Through this, there is an infrastructure in Cayman that is conducive to television and film production. The infrastructure needs direction and a clear presence. My partners and I hope to work closely with the government and the creative community of Cayman to establish a commission that will truly benefit the country.” said Berfield
Cayman is no stranger to film production, having played host to several productions over the last few decades including Paramount Pictures The Firm in 1993 starring Tom Cruise, and most recently the independent feature film Haven in 2004 starring Orlando Bloom and directed by local Caymanian Frank E. Flowers.
It is the intention of Berfield and his proposed advisory board to act as a liaison between Hollywood and the Caymans and as a result bring productions to the island. Further, the proposed film commission would aide local business owners and residents with their existing filming and television commercial production.
Actor/producer Justin Berfield is a partner in highly regarded Los Angeles based boutique production company J2 Pictures. Berfield and his producing partner Jason Felts got their start in film when they served as producers and investors on the feature film Romance & Cigarettes, starring James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon, Kate Winslet, Mandy Moore and Christopher Walken. The film was written and directed by actor John Turturro.
Berfield and Felts themselves are currently in pre–production on ESCOBAR, a full–length motion picture that will chronicle the life of Pablo Escobar, the infamous Colombian drug cartel leader.
J2 also has a strong interest in comedy, and produced Blonde Ambition, a comedy feature starring Luke Wilson, Jessica Simpson and Rachel Leigh Cook.

As previous rumours had predicted Blonde Ambition co-produced by J2 Pictures, Justin’s production company, is going straight to DVD. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will be releasing the film on January 22, 2008.
Blonde Ambition is currently available for pre-order through Amazon. Special features include Deleted Scenes and behind the scene interviews with cast and crew.
Recently in a personal update on his official forum, Justin said:
BLONDE AMBITION was not blonde ambition when it started. it really became a much different project after certain people became attached to it…and i decided as a result to be a little hands off during production because of it. that said, im not sure of it’s fate…but regardless i think all luke wilson fans will embrace it. it really does have some funny moments and HEY…it’s not supposed to be some life altering serious piece.

Reach first worked with J2 on “Blonde Ambition,” a Millennium Films pic starring Luke Wilson and Jessica Simpson. He recently produced his first full-length feature, “Something’s Wrong in Kansas,” and co-founded Jetcast.com, an online aggregator he sold in 2005.
“Escobar” is skedded to begin lensing in Puerto Rico and Colombia in the first quarter. Shingle is developing “Who Is Doris Payne,” about the career of the jewel thief, now 76, and is working with Carolyn “Mountain Girl” Garcia on its biopic about Jerry Garcia’s early years.
