‘The Light’ Producers Gold Rush Pictures Ink Slate Deal With Hype Studios (EXCLUSIVE)
Independent production company and financier Gold Rush Pictures is a co-producer of Tom Tykwer's 'The Light,' which opens the Berlin Film Festival.
Two of the five titles on the companies’ slate will be collaborations with the Polish screenwriter-director and two-time Berlinale prizewinner Małgorzata Szumowska (“Body,” “Mug”), including “The Gambler Wife,” a dark comedy about Russian literary figures Anna and Fyodor Dostoyevsky. As Variety previously revealed, Gold Rush Pictures signed a deal with Germany’s X Filme Creative Pool to participate in financing and co-produce the next three projects written and directed and/or produced by Tykwer, following on the company’s investment in his Berlinale opener “The Light.” Hype Studios was launched in 2022 by producer Ilya Stewart, whose credits include Vadim Perelman’s Berlin selection “Persian Lessons,” Mona Fastvold’s Venice player “The World To Come,” and Zach Wigon’s “Sanctuary,” featuring Margaret Qualley and Christopher Abbott, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival.
