Amanda Brooks and Patricia Rae will star in Taking Charge, a feature that is intended as the first of a slate of projects from newly formed Vine Entertainment. Vine founder and CEO Gino Cabanas plans to use private capital to produce a series of low-budget features in various genres. "The Vine intends to challenge many of Hollywood's preconceived notions about indie outfits," Cabanas said. "The strength of our financing places us in a strong position to nurture the careers of talented writers, producers and directors as well as shepherd their projects from start to finish." Charge is scheduled to shoot next month in Arizona under the direction of Dick Fisher, who was the cinematographer, editor and one of the producers of The Brothers McMullen. The drama is described as a cautionary tale of a spoiled girl who takes matters into her own hands after she is cut off by her billionaire father. Brooks plays the girl, while Rae plays a paramedic. Brooks, repped by Paradigm, is filming the Walt Disney Co.'s Jodie Foster starrer Flightplan. Rae is repped by Brady, Brennan and Rich.
