Flower grows into Warner Bros. pact

By Borys Kit
Warner Bros. Pictures believes in flower power, signing a two-year, first-look deal with Flower Films, the production company run by Drew Barrymore and Nancy Juvonen.

Barrymore is set to star in 'Lucky You,' a Warners and Village Roadshow Pictures co-production. She also stars in and, with Juvonen, is one of the producers of Fox 2000's 'Fever Pitch,' which opens Friday.

Flower Films, formed in 1995, previously called Columbia Pictures its home. Barrymore and Juvonen had been housed there since 2001 and signed a two-year extension deal with that studio in 2003. Films produced under that deal included 'Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle' and '50 First Dates.' Before Columbia, Flower Films was located at Fox 2000.

'Drew represents a rare and wonderful combination in that she's a gifted actress and a smart and effective producer,' Warners president of production Jeff Robinov said. 'She and Nancy have developed and produced some tremendously successful films, and we are really happy to have them at Warner Bros. Pictures, where we think they'll continue to grow and flourish."
