“Momo” executive producers Dimitri Logothetis and Nicholas Celozzi have announced that talks are underway with networks in the U.S. and Canada to develop the project as a weekly series for television. “Momo” is one of six titles for which Diverse Media Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets: DVME) has optioned to purchase a 30% interest from Elio Pictures, Ltd.

Diverse Media Group CEO Chris Nassif calls the development “a huge step forward in our company’s transition to a complete entertainment and media services provider.”

Logothetis and Celozzi have been working for seven years on the life story of infamous mob boss Sam Giancana. After securing the exclusive story rights from Francine Giancana to her father’s life story, they originally set the project up at Warner Bros. and Turner as a mini-series. Logothetis calculates development costs to date at $75,000. With the success of the 60's-based AMC series “Mad Men,” they decided that “Momo” could also satisfy weekly audience interest in that period of Americana. Giancana was born in 1908 and killed in 1974.

Celozzi describes the series as real-life “Sopranos” meets “The Gangster Chronicles.” Sam Giancana was a very compelling personality. As a family man, Sam lost his wife to a rheumatic heart disease, raised three daughters, supported an extended family and was one of the most powerful men of the twentieth century. Through union ties Giancana helped swing the Illinois vote during the Kennedy/Nixon election. He was the first mobster to claim his rights to the Fifth Amendment in front of live television cameras while questioned by Bobby Kennedy during the McClellan committee hearings. Sam had a long-standing friendship with Frank Sinatra, the leader of the so called “Rat Pack,” who played in Chicago nightclubs run by Giancana.

The other Elio Pictures titles optioned by Diverse Media Group include “The Lost Angel” (2005) with Judd Nelson and Celozzi, “Framed by Seduction” (2004) starring Robert Patrick, “Nightmare Boulevard” (2004) starring Claudia Christian and Corbin Bernsen, “7-10 Split” (2007) featuring Tara Reid and Rachel Hunter, and “Senior Skip Day” (2008) with Lea Thompson and Norm MacDonald.

The option is being purchased with 25 million shares of Diverse Media Group restricted common stock, valued at $50,000. The Company has until March 30, 2010, to exercise its option for a cash price of an additional $400,000.
