EXCLUSIVE: Producer and actress Catherine Davis has launched Nine Lives Entertainment, a production company focused on what it calls “narratives centered on outsiders and artists – those who defy the odds and land on their feet.”
Davis is the daughter of John Davis, a prolific producer whose credits spanning four decades have included I, Robot, Game Night and the Predator franchise. As an actress, she has appeared in films including Run, Hide, Fight.
Under the Nine Lives banner, Davis is producing Amazon MGM Studios’ Untitled Cyrano film with Michael Showalter directing and the upcoming film Fake Wedding starring Lili Reinhart for Amazon MGM Studios, written by Ali & Anthony Garland.
Davis is also producing projects including a biopic on the “Godfather of Funk,” Parliament–Funkadelic frontman George Clinton, for Amazon MGM Studios. Eddie Murphy is slated to star as Clinton in a reteaming with his Dreamgirls director Bill Condon. Davis is responsible for initiating the project as a lifelong George Clinton fan and initially brought the idea to Murphy.
Deadline broke the news of the Clinton project last fall. John Davis is also a producer on the movie, through his company, Davis Entertainment.
“At Nine Lives, our mission is to elevate original voices and bring bold, character-driven narratives to light. We’re committed to telling stories that entertain, empower, and leave a lasting impact. With projects like the George Clinton biopic and Untitled Cyrano film, I’m incredibly honored to collaborate with such extraordinary talent, whose work I have long admired, to bring these powerful stories to life,” Davis said.
