...companies, such as G.E. and Xerox, have set up production subsidiaries. Many of the others are putting up the cash and hiring independent production companies or individuals to make their films. Doubleday is making a production deal for a film version of one of its own books, The Parallax View, by Loren Singer; it has contracted for a screenplay by Lorenzo Semple Jr. (Pretty Poison), and hired Director Michael Ritchie (Downhill Racer).
