Mumbai,May 16: UTV motion pictures has begun work on its first solo Hollywood film "Ex-Terminators" last month.

It has tied up with Michaelson Films for this project. Ronnie Screwvala will produce the film along with Jay Michaelson, Lawren Sunderland and scriptwriter Suzanne Weinert.

Presently being shot in Texas, the film stars Heather Graham, Jennifer Coolidge, Matthew Settle, Joey Lauren Adams and Amber Heard. It marks the directing debut of veteran cinematographer John Inwood from the popular US award winning TV show Scrubs.

In a statement issued here today, Ronnie Screwvala, CEO of UTV said over the last few years, UTV has forged working relationships with leading studios in Hollywood and with top acclaimed international talent. "Our association led to some unique projects like The Namesake, I think I love my wife and The Happening. Ex-Terminators is our first independent production in the U.S. It is a great script coupled with talent behind the camera and in front of it," he said.

Ex-Terminators is a dark comedy centering on Alex (Graham), a lonely accountant whose one act of rage results in her being sentenced to court ordered therapy. There she meets Stella (Coolidge), the owner of a small extermination business who uses her car as a weapon, and Nikkie (Heard), a dental technician with the face of an angel and the mind of a sociopath. Together these women will form their own "silent revolution" wrecking havoc on the abusive men in their lives, Ronnie said.
