Radford to build 'Taj'
Atchity, Cairo, Simpson, Wong will produce film
Michael Radford is set to direct "Taj," the love story between 17th century Mughal emperor Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal, the queen for whom he built the Taj Mahal as a mausoleum.
Krishna Shah wrote the script.
Michael A. Simpson and Judy Cairo are producing with Ken Atchity and Ch-Li Wong. Pic will shoot in India later this year and is being aimed for a September start.
Radford, best known for directing "Merchant of Venice" and "Il Postino," was born in New Delhi; "Taj" would be the first film he's shot in his home country. Radford recently visited Mumbai to scout locations.
Pic will cost $25 million, and Atchity said most of the funds are in place, with WMA Independent piecing together the remaining territories.

Sex in the South -- Dr Phil
Former AEI client Suzi Parker appeared on Dr. Phil
From Dr. Phil.com:
Suzi Parker, author of Sex in the South: Unbuckling the Bible Belt, and DrPhil.com viewers share their opinions about the swinging lifestyle.
Dr. Phil introduces Suzi Parker, author of Sex in the South: Unbuckling the Bible Belt, who has been studying sex in the Southern suburbs for years. She says, “Don’t be surprised if that prim and proper friend of yours has a stripper pole in the basement to escape from her good-girl world.” He asks her for her thoughts.
“Especially in the south, I think people have a tendency to hide their desires a little more than may be in larger cities,” she says. “I think it’s the society that the people in the South live in, because on every corner there’s a church, and so it’s always a reminder that what you’re doing, or what you want to do, is a sin. It’s naughty. But then there’s this urge to do what you want to do.”
Sex in the South is available for purchase on Amazon and in bookstores.
