‘The Count of Monte-Cristo’ Producer Dimitri Rassam Launches Financial-Distribution Powerhouse Yapluka With Backing From Pathe, M6, CMA Media (EXCLUSIVE)
'The Count of Monte-Cristo' producer Dimitri Rassam is launching Yapluka, a financing-distribution company with backing from Pathé, M6 and CMA Media.
Rassam, whose production company Chapter 2 is owned by Mediawan, most recently partnered with Pathé on bigscreen adaptations of Alexandre Dumas’ literary jewels, including “The Count of Monte-Cristo,” which thrived at this year’s French box office, grossing over $75 million internationally so far (ahead of of its U.S. release), as well as the two-part adventure saga “The Three Musketeers.” Having developed deep-entrenched bonds in the U.S. and France, Rassam has been able to attract some prestigious European family offices (whose names will be revealed at a later stages) to back Yapluka and will start operating as of today. The executive said Pathe “could not be more excited to continue our journey with Dimitri, beginning with Les Rois Maudits, directed by the immensely talented Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière, and many more exceptional projects to come.”
