Fremantle Merges U.S. and Europe Scripted Operations Under Christian Vesper; Dante Di Loreto Moves to Producer Deal (EXCLUSIVE)
Fremantle has tapped Christian Vesper to combine scripted operations in the U.S. and Europe, while Dante Di Loreto is switching to a producer deal.
When confirming the cuts, a Fremantle rep said they were “part of ongoing strategic planning” and “measures necessary for creating a more effective, coordinated and streamlined approach” to its business. Also, companies and talent with first look deals with Fremantle include Kristen Stewart, Dylan Meyer and Maggie McLean’s Nevermind Pictures; Pablo and Juan de Dios Larraín’s Fabula; Rachel Weisz and Polly Stokes’ Astral Projection; Edward Berger’s Nine Hours; Johan Renck and Michael Parets’ Sinestra; Sarah Condon’s Fair Harbour; Richard Yee and Krishnendu Majumdar’s Me+You Productions; and Patrick Daly’s Caledonia Productions. “Queer,” starring Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey, is also playing in Toronto, alongside Jolie’s directorial effort “Without Blood,” “M – Son of the Century” (which bowed at Venice), “Faithless” and “The Listeners.” “Queer,” “Maria” and “M” were produced by Wildside’s Lorenzo Mieli who exited the group earlier this year and just launched a new production vehicle, Our Films, with another FremantleMedia producer, Mario Gianani.
