Writer/director Daniel Adams has been sentenced to two to three years in prison after inflating his expenses while applying for film tax credits in his native Massachusetts.
The 51 year old was accused of exaggerating expenditures during the filming of both Blythe Danner's The Lightkeepers and David Carradine's The Golden Boys in Cape Cod, resulting in nearly $4.7 million (£2.9 million) in tax credit overpayments.
Last month, he pleaded guilty to several charges, including larceny and making a false claim, and on Thursday Adams was convicted of fraud and handed the jail sentence.
Massachusetts Superior Court Judge Carol Ball also placed Adams on 10 years' probation and ordered the filmmaker to pay $4.4 million (£2.8 million) in restitution.

Boston -- A movie director who has admitted he inflated expenses when he applied for Massachusetts film tax credits has been sentenced to two to three years in state prison.
A Boston judge on Thursday also ordered Daniel Adams to pay nearly $4.4 million in restitution and to serve 10 years on probation. The penalties had been announced when he pleaded guilty last month to charges including larceny and making a false claim.
Attorney General Martha Coakley's office had accused Adams of exaggerating expenses for two films shot on Cape Cod, "The Golden Boys" and "The Lightkeepers," resulting in about $4.7 million in tax credit overpayments.
Adams' lawyer James Greenberg tells The Boston Globe his client hopes to continue working in the film industry when he finishes his sentence.

Golden Boys is a film that seems like a homage to the Whales of August. Both films focus on a cast of elder stars, but the earlier picture featured a tighter storyline and better performances. Golden Boys does have some charm, and a curiosity to see David Carradine in one of his last roles, but it also has an unfocused narrative. In 1905 Cape Cod, three elderly sea captains, Captain Hedge (David Carradine), Captain Burgess (Rip Torn), and Captain Ryder (Bruce Dern) are tired of their bachelor.s home being a mess and none of them having any skill in the kitchen. The trio decides that the best way to take care of their needs is to advertise for...

When did it become a prerequisite for aging actors to make movies geared toward septua- and octogenarians? The Golden Boys, a labored and irritatingly slow film from writer/director Daniel Adams based on the novel by Joseph C. Lincoln, squanders an impressive cast for the pursuit of a plot that quickly loses what little comedic value it has. The pacing of the film is glacial, nothing is truly at stake, and the drama underwritten and long-winded in spite of how much the film longs to be a nostalgic throwback to the decent man-and-women comedies of yesteryear.
The setting is Cape Cod, circa 1905. Three men, all more-or-less retired sea captains, bicker in their shared home. There’s wise, gentlemanly and commanding Captain Zeb (David Carradine, in one his last roles), rambunctious Captain Jerry (Rip Torn) and the levelheaded but somewhat rebellious Captain Perez (Bruce Dern). Amidst the largely pointless squabbling that...

Here is your dose of film news for July 13, 2009:
• Edgar Wright is currently busy shooting "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World," but the big question is: what will the filmmaker be working on next? Well, according to Empire, Wright will try to make "Baby Driver." He said, "Probably because it’s not an adaptation or anything, or a sequel to anything else. I’d like to just make it in private, basically." Of course, this means his "Ant-Man" flick will be delayed for a while.
• The 1960s TV series "The Big Valley" will be heading to the big screen soon, with Daniel Adams directing his own script. The original series starred Barbara Stanwyck as the matriarch of a wealthy family in 19th-century Stockton, Calif. Adams' directorial credits also include "The Golden Boys" and the upcoming "The Lightkeepers." (Variety)
• Ioan Gruffudd has signed on to star in "Banking on Mr. Toad,...

"American Violet"
In our politically expedient, hyper-add times, director Tim Disney reminds us African-Americans had it tough in the post-civil rights era long before Katrina with this Texas-set drama based on true story. As much a legal thriller as anything else, "American Violet" stars Alfre Woodward as the steely mother of Dee Roberts (Nicole Beharie), a woman wrongly scooped up from the projects amidst a mass drug raid and harassed into a plea bargain. With the help of an Aclu attorney (Tim Blake Nelson) and an ex-cop (Will Patton), she must go up against a callous district attorney (Michael O'Keefe), who's playing a numbers game in pursuit of federal money,...
