'Party' time for Garibaldi's film banner

August 06, 2008 Marco Garibaldi, the colorful entrepreneur and Hollywood writer-producer, is getting back in the entertainment game after a decadelong absence, forming a new production company that will produce a remake of the Peter Sellers cult hit "The Party." Garibaldi, perhaps best known in celebrity circles for a longtime romantic involvement with Priscilla Presley, is a Brazilian screenwriter and producer who has dabbled in a number of areas, helping turn Graceland merchandising into big business and even directing several episodes of the "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers" television show. Among its projects, Godfather will team with Avi Lerner's Nu Image Films for "Last Chance Motel," a psychological thriller that Garibaldi will write and direct with shooting planned for 2009.
