Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc. has announced the completion of principal photography on the Paul Soter-directed romantic comedy Watching The Detectives, starring Cillian Murphy and Lucy Liu. Shot in New York City in partnership with New York-based Plum Pictures, Peace Arch Entertainment co-financed the film and is serving as worldwide distributor.

Paul Soter, making his directorial debut, was recently honored by the respected industry publication "Filmmaker" as one of the top 25 new directors to watch.

Peace Arch President John Flock says, "Because of his experience on both sides of the camera as a triple threat writer-actor-director, Soter will continue to attract top talent, like Murphy and Liu, to his films -- and get inspired performances from them as he has done on 'Watching The Detectives.'"

Watching The Detectives is a romantic comedy about a film noir buff whose world is abruptly turned upside down when a beautiful and unpredictable, real-life femme fatale provides far more adventure than he ever experienced -- and possibly more than he can handle.

Plum's Celine Rattray, Daniela Taplin Lundberg and Galt Niederhoffer produced the film in association with Hart-Lunsford Pictures. Peace Arch is executive producing along with Irving Schwartz, Randy Simon and Bill Benenson.
