Christine Peters(VII)
- Producer
- Writer
Since she arrived in Los Angeles from London as Vice President of Foreign Sales and Distribution for the Intercontinental Releasing Corporation, Peters has worked her way up the ladder to her current post as head of CFP Productions, based on the Paramount lot, where
she continues to develop a broad slate of feature films.
In 2004, Peters produced the international hit How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, which starred Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey, grossing more than $177 million worldwide, $105 million in the U.S. alone. Peters shepherded the romantic comedy from its beginnings as a book, whose rights she purchased for $10,000. To date, the film has brought in nearly half a billion in revenue through its theatrical release and ancillaries.
Christine has assembled a diverse team from production to financial modeling, licensing and merchandising to product integration.
The daughter of a General Motors executive who lived in a variety of different countries, Peters calls her background "unusual, but great," learning to speak seven languages. Her grandmother, a concentration camp survivor, is her biggest inspiration.
In the '80s, Peters became a story analyst for the Guber-Peters Company, playing a critical role in the development of such films as The Witches of Eastwick, Gorillas in the Mist and Batman. Soon after, she landed a four-year production deal at Sony Pictures, where she worked alongside such women producers as future colleague Obst (Sleepless in Seattle) and Wendy Fineman (Forrest Gump), working on such projects as Africa (written by Eric Roth), Tango & Cash (Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell, Teri Hatcher) and Money Train (Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson, Jennifer Lopez).
In 1991, she formed a partnership with legendary producer Robert Evans (Chinatown, The Godfather), and they set up their production company at Paramount. During their 10-year partnership, Peters and Evans developed a diverse slate of feature films that have collectively grossed more than $200 million worldwide. Their credits include The Saint (Val Kilmer), Jade (David Caruso) and The Out-Of-Towners (Steve Martin, Goldie Hawn). Since then, she has proven remarkably multi-talented, serving as the West Coast Contributing Editor for Tina Brown and Miramax's Talk Magazine, while brokering several deals with Warner Books and Talk Miramax Books. Peters is also mom to her two daughters: Skye, an up-and-coming director, and Caleigh, a studio executive.
Peters has just signed with Italia Gandolfo of GH Literary Management, and is currently in the process of writing her memoirs, Surviving Hollywood in High Heels.
