Motion Picture Corporation of America (MPCA) is an American film production company founded by Brad Krevoy in 1986.

History

Motion Picture Corporation of America was founded in 1986 by Brad Krevoy and Steve Stabler out of college. MPCA made 60 films with low budget and young talent. They had three big successes Threesome (1994), Dumb and Dumber (also 1994) and Kingpin (1996), the last a co-production with Rysher Entertainment.[1]

The two partners then sought funding for larger movies and met John Kluge in November 1995.[1] In July 1996,{{citation needed|date=June 2016}} MPCA was acquired by Kluge’s Metromedia International Group and operated as part of Metromedia’s Orion Pictures Corporation.[1] Krevoy and Stabler managed Orion Pictures’ operations as executive vice presidents.[1] Both received a six-put-picture distribution deal as part of their contracts.[2]

In July 1997, Metromedia shareholders approved the sale of Orion (as well as Samuel Goldwyn Entertainment and Motion Picture Corporation of America's library) to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. This led to the dismissal of 85 employees, including Krevoy and Stabler.[1] MGM inherited the duo's picture distribution deal.[2] Krevoy and Stabler retained the right to the Motion Picture Corporation of America name and their three top movies.[1]

Reorganization

The MPCA duo had MGM release A Rumor of Angels (2000), a drama with Vanessa Redgrave, and the comedy 3 Strikes (also 2000). With the Orion-originated put picture deal about to expire, Stabler sold his put picture slots to other producers.[2]

Since its reorganization in January 1998, MPCA has produced over 20 motion pictures, acquired a library of nearly 200 motion pictures, and negotiated financing and studio distribution arrangements. MPCA’s productions include A Love Song for Bobby Long (2004), Riding the Bullet (also 2004), Second in Command (2006), The Hard Corps (also 2006), and Moondance Alexander (2007). For her work in A Love Song for Bobby Long, Scarlett Johansson received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress.

Brad Krevoy also co-produced the 1999 Peabody Award-winning and Emmy-nominated ABC television musical Annie (1999) for ABC’s The Wonderful World of Disney.

Along with feature films, MPCA is involved in financing, producing, and selling television projects. The company partnered with The Hallmark Channel on When Calls the Heart (2014–present), a frontier series based on the novels by international bestseller Janette Oke. The first season garnered a viewership of 2.7 million people. MPCA is also producing and financing a reboot of The Saint, the spy thriller of the 1960s originally starring Roger Moore who later played James Bond.[3][4] Writers Chris Lunt and Ed Whitmore have been commissioned to write the script.

MPCA produced the drama Taking Chance (2009) starring Kevin Bacon for HBO Films, which premiered on HBO to the highest ratings of any original film in the past five years. The film was nominated for 10 Emmys (winning one), PGA, WGA, DGA, ASC, ACE, and SAG awards, as well as two Golden Globes (Best Film and winning for Best Actor, Kevin Bacon).

MPCA's other productions include Arena (2011), A Princess for Christmas (also 2011), Meeting Evil (2012), The Christmas Spirit (2013), The Sweeter Side of Life (also 2013), A Royal Christmas (2014),and Dumb and Dumber To (also 2014).

MPCA is in development on multiple projects. In partnership with DreamWorks, MPCA is intending to remake the Japanese hit Yomigaeri (2002). Academy Award-winning screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin will write the script, tentatively titled Resurrection.[5] Previously, screenwriters Dana Stevens and Joel Siberling contributed work to the script. Also on the slate is an English-language adaptation of Departures (Okuribito, 2008) for American audiences. The Japanese drama was the recipient of the 2009 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and the Grand Prix des Amériques at the 32nd Montreal World Film Festival. MPCA is also prepping a reboot of the horror franchise Pumpkinhead (1988), working with lead producer Peter Block, who has acquired the rights to the Pumpkinhead franchise for his company.[6]
