Green ("Casino Royale," "The Golden Compass") is in production on the "Camelot" series for Starz and GK-TV. Jarecki's credits include docu "The Outsider" featuring James Toback. He also co-wrote "The Informers" with Bret Easton Ellis. He's the brother of filmmakers Andrew and Eugene Jarecki. Ohoven is in post-production on "The Fields," starring Sam Worthington. Infinity will next produce and finance psychological thriller "The Door," which begins lensing later this month. EFTA00752331 Contact Pamela McClintock at EFTA00752332
