IFC Films and AMC+ have snapped up the U.S rights to Freegard from directors Adam Patterson and Declan Lawn.

The pic will see a theatrical release, PVOD and streaming debut on AMC+ later this summer.

The project is inspired by the chilling true story of conman Robert Freegard (James Norton) and Alice Archer (Gemma Arterton), the woman who brought him down. A master manipulator, Freegard kidnapped countless victims, convincing them he was undercover MI5. A tale of lies, loyalty, gaslighting, fear, hope, and the investigation and high-stakes manhunt, which saved the life of Freegard’s final victim.

Patterson and Lawn co-wrote the screenplay with Michael Bronner (The Mauritanian) based on the article Chasing Agent Freegard by Bronner. The pic also stars Shazad Latif (Star Trek Discovery), Marisa Abela (Industry), Edwina Findley (The Wire), Sarah Goldberg (The Dark Knight Rises), Jimmy Akingbola (Ted Lasso), and Julian Barratt (The Mighty Boosh).

Freegard is produced by Kitty Kaletsky, Norton, Robert Taylor, Gina Carter, Michael Bronner and Night Train CEO Herbert L Kloiber. EPs are Harold van Lier, Olivia Pahl, Jim Reeve and Robert Halmi. The film is co-produced by Rabbit Track Pictures, Night Train Media and The Development Partnership.

The deal for Freegard was negotiated by SVP of Acquisitions and Productions for IFC Films, Scott Shooman, and WME Independent on behalf of the filmmakers. Night Train Media fully funded the film and owns global rights.

The CW's PROFESSIONALS Starring Tom Welling!  #TomWelling #BrendanFraser #Smallville #Professionals

"PROFESSIONALS: Follows Vincent Corbo (Tom Welling, “Smallville,” “Parkland”), a top-tier security operative who is paid to protect the interests of rich and powerful clients by any means necessary – legal or not. After a next-gen medical-data satellite explodes on launch, Corbo is hired by the rocket’s designer, billionaire futurist Peter Swann (Brendan Fraser), who suspects sabotage. Complicating Corbo’s new gig is his former paramour and now Swann’s fiancée, medical visionary Dr. Grace Davila (Elena Anaya), who is racing to help stave off a global catastrophe. As Corbo and his team of veteran security professionals investigate the rocket disaster, they expose a lethal conspiracy of Swann’s corporate rivals, corrupt government officials, and a shadowy crime syndicate – all working to destroy Swann and take control of his tech empire. Worse, Corbo must also contend with Swann’s spoiled, troublemaking teen daughter (Jazzara Jaslyn) and a rogue Europol agent (Ken Duken,) who is hellbent on busting him for past sins. A production of Most Media, Subotica, Spier Films and Roadside Attractions in association with Jeff Most Productions, LEONINE Studios, NENT Group and The Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa, PROFESSIONALS was created by Jeff Most and Michael Colleary who both serve as co-showrunners and executive producers.

Par Charlène Badasie | Publié il y a 25 secondes La prochaine série de gladiateurs Ceux sur le point de mourir du réalisateur Roland Emmerich a été reprise par Prime Video à travers l'UE. D'après Deadline, l'émission, conçu par Centropolis, Hollywood Gang et Street Entertainment, a été sécurisée pour être distribuée outre-Atlantique par High End Productions, une coentreprise créée par Herbert G. Kloiber et Constantin Film. La prochaine série Gladiator, Ceux sur le point de mourir, sera diffusée à la fois sur Peacock et Prime Video à travers l'UE. L'accord de distribution européen de Prime Video est un exemple rare d'une série Peacock accessible sur une plate-forme de streaming différente dans d'autres régions. Plusieurs pays, dont l'Allemagne, le Royaume-Uni, la France, l'Italie, l'Espagne, le Portugal, les Pays-Bas, l'Autriche, la Suisse, l'Irlande, la Pologne, la Turquie, Andorre, Monaco, le Luxembourg et la Belgique, ont acquis les droits de l'émission. De plus, des négociations sont en cours avec différents licenciés européens pour des droits de télévision gratuite en dehors de la fenêtre de distribution exclusive sur Prime Video. Ceux sur le point de mourir promet d'emmener le public dans un voyage épique à travers le monde complexe et corrompu des compétitions de gladiateurs de la Rome antique. Basé sur le livre de non-fiction du même nom de Daniel Mannix, le spectacle devrait être un grand drame, plongeant dans de multiples aspects de la société romaine, des jeux de gladiateurs brutaux à la pègre criminelle ténébreuse et aux politiciens manipulateurs qui financent le somptueux et sport sanguinaire qui captivait les masses romaines. Situé dans la Rome antique, Ceux sur le point de mourir relatera la vie des gladiateurs, explorant leurs difficultés, leurs espoirs et leurs rêves. Anthony Hopkins prend le rôle de l'empereur Vespasien, une figure charnière au zénith de l'Empire romain. L'histoire voit une population romaine agitée aux prises avec des sentiments d'ennui et de violence croissante. L'accord de distribution européen de Prime Video est un exemple rare d'une série Peacock accessible sur une plate-forme de streaming différente dans d'autres régions. Pour maintenir l'ordre, les autorités s'appuient fortement sur deux stratégies : la distribution de nourriture gratuite et d'extraordinaires divertissements de gladiateurs. Au cœur du spectacle de divertissement, le Circus Maximus accueille des courses supervisées par quatre importantes sociétés appartenant à des patriciens connues sous le nom de factions bleue, rouge, blanche et verte. Posséder des parts dans ces groupes est l'actif romain le plus convoité de tous. Rejoindre Hopkins sont des acteurs talentueux qui donnent vie à un grand choix de personnages. Iwan Rheon incarne Tenax, un baron du crime ambitieux aux motifs obscurs. Liraz Charhi joue Bérénice, reine des Judéens conquis actuellement retenue captive à Rome. Rupert Penry-Jones apparaît comme Marsus et Jojo Macari dépeint Domitian Flavianus. Les autres acteurs de la série Peacock Gladiator incluent Gabriella Pession comme Antonia, Dimitri Leonidas comme Scorpus, Sarah Martins-Court comme Cala, Kyle Rowe comme Ehud, Davide Tucci comme Manilius, Adrian Bouchet comme Porto, Pietro Ragusa comme Fimbria et Michael Bundred comme Torel. Pépé Barroso. Goncalo Almeida, Kyshan Wilson, Alicia Edogamhe, Hossein Taheri et Thomas Hunt sont par ailleurs les vedettes. Basé sur le livre de non-fiction du même nom de Daniel Mannix, le spectacle devrait être un grand drame, plongeant dans de multiples aspects de la société romaine, des jeux de gladiateurs brutaux à la pègre criminelle ténébreuse. Sous la direction de Roland Emmerich, connu pour son savoir-faire dans la réalisation de grands spectacles, These About To Die est entre de bonnes mains. La vision du cinéaste et ses prouesses narratives feront certainement de la série une expérience cinématographique d'histoires entrelacées qui explorent diverses facettes de la société romaine, que les téléspectateurs auront du mal à oublier.

Avec un gros budget de 140 millions de dollars, Ceux sur le point de mourir est sur le point de rivaliser avec les films et les séries télévisées à gros budget se déroulant dans la Ville éternelle, comme Gladiateur et Rome.
