French Sales Group Goodfellas Buys ‘Happening’ Producer Rectangle to Expand Film and TV Production Business
French sales company Goodfellas is the new owner of Rectangle Productions, the banner behind Audrey Diwan's 'Happening' and Celine Dion film 'Aline.'
Although Rectangle Productions has been dissolved as a business entity, it “will retain its brand, creative independence, attached talent and ongoing projects” over at Goodfellas, said the company in a statement. Producer Alice Girard, who joined Rectangle Productions in 2012, will continue working with Weil to “produce ambitious films and TV series in collaboration with their usual talents and partners,” Goodfellas said, adding that the acquisition — which it describes as a “merger” — “substantially strengthens its film and TV production business, an essential complement to its international sales activity.” Rectangle Productions has produced more than 55 films, many of which have won big awards at Cannes, Venice, Toronto and at the Cesars, France’s equivalent to the Oscars.
