Federation Studios is for sale of at least 40% of the company and 'The Agency' & 'Around The World In 80 Days' studio is headed to the U.S. for growth
We can reveal that Federation has opened a JV with storied French director-producer Jérôme Salle, whose credits include Anthony Zimmer(which spawned U.S. remake The Tourist starring Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp), Orlando Bloom-starrer Zulu and last year’s Becoming Karl Lagerfeld series. Federation’s JV with storied producer Patrick Wachsberger has meanwhile birthed four movie projects that are seeking studio and streamer fundingincluding Emilia Jones-starring romance Charlie Harper, Sian Heder’s Impossible and high-profile Jeneva Rose adaptation The Perfect Marriage. He pointed again to Federation’s “long tail” and noted that the streamers’ more flexible rights position has allowed shows and remakes to “live together” concurrently in the landscape, citing the example of Israel’s Your Honor, which has been remade in a number of key territories including on Showtime in the U.S.
