Posted Nov. 1, 2007 -- Talk show host Montel Williams is moving into movies, executive producing a series of feature films in partnership with production companies this spring.

"There have been so many remarkable scripts and ideas coming to myself, the talk show and our production company, and we felt it was an appropriate time to take action on them," Williams said. "Our team at Letnom has picked a meaningful and exciting slate of films and is collaborating with very established and well-respected producers, writers and directors."

The studio will focus on true-life stories and comedy. A few are in the late stages of development.
