Film Fetish is bringing us an article today looking at a project Peter has been working on and will begin shooting after Breaking Dawn wraps. Peter has written and is set to star in El Chico Blanco a story that take us into the underground of a crime family. Read more below:

Titan Worldwide Chairman and CEO Brad Feinstein has announced it will begin shooting the controversial crime epic El Chico Blanco, on location in New Mexico, in June of this year.

El Chico Blanco tells the story of Ben Harper, a white outcast raised in the barrio, who ascends to a position of power against all odds. During a stint in prison, Harper overcomes racial tension and bias to become the head of a notorious crime family, entering into a world of drugs, wealth, and power.

The film was scripted & will star Peter Facinelli (Twilight Saga, Nurse Jackie) and will be directed by Carl Franklin (Out of Time, High Crimes). This is the third film that Facinelli has written. His first, Loosie’s, (which he also stars in) is currently in post-production. In addition to playing the lead role of Ben Harper, Facinelli’s production company Facinelli Films will serve as co-producers on El Chico Blanco.

Entertainment Tonight is covering the backstory on how the Hallmark Channel film “Accidentally in Love”, written by Peter Facinelli, came about. Read more below:

“Peter Facinelli has his three daughters with Jennie Garth to thank for the inspiration behind “Accidentally in Love,” the romantic Valentine’s Day tale he wrote for his wife of 10 years.

“I originally wrote this script for maybe me and my wife to play it, but then I got a little busy. I was doing press on ['The Twilight Saga:] Eclipse’ at the time it was shooting, and I had no time to act in the film,” Peter says. “I also worried that this would become the Jennie Garth/Peter Facinelli movie instead of a film with two characters. Our playing together could have detracted from the believability of the story and become a distraction. So I took a step back and let my wife kiss someone else.”

Busier than ever starring in Nurse Jackie and the fan favorite Twilight Saga, Peter Facinelli has signed on for a new flick about champion boxer Vinny Pazienza.

According to Hollywood Life, the on-screen vampire is taking on a completely new role as Vinny, who proved everyone wrong by winning the World Champion boxing title after an almost fatal car crash.

Recovering from a broken neck, Vinny defeated Luis Santana in 1991 for the Junior Middleweight title.

The biographical movie is set to start production in 2011, while the third Twilight installment Eclipse, also starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, is due out in theatres this summer.
