Which production company would you use to produce your thriller?

The production company I would use to produce my thriller is Lionsgate this is because it has produced many different thrillers such as "American Psycho", "The Devil's Rejects" and "The day after tomorrow". Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation was founded by financier Frank Giustra in the summer of 1997. During his years as a banker, he also had been involved in the financing of a half dozen films. At the age of 40 he decide that he wanted to enter the entertainment business.  Lionsgate entertainment is a suitable institution to produce our thriller because most of their thriller films are targeted at a similar audience to our target audience for our thriller, most of the thriller films are of the same genre as ours which is psychological thrillers.
