The best way to approach production companies, however, is to purchase a current edition of the Hollywood Creative Directory, which is the bible of the industry. Here you can find more companies than are listed here, but more importantly each listing will give the major executives at the company and the names of their recent movies.
You want to query the people connected with development: sometimes this will be listed as "VP Development" or "Creative Director" or "Acquisitions" or something else.
If you are using this list, you can add "ATTN: Development" at the end of the address.
Production companies - called "prodcos" for short - are generally swamped and appreciate hearing from you by query letter rather than by a cold telephone call.
If you are online, many prodcos have email addresses today - plus there is a wonderful version of the HCD online.
