Good Chaos Signs First-Look Deal With Searchlight as Brit Producer of ‘Sisu,’ ‘Santosh’ and Edward Berger’s Next Film Looks to Scale Up Projects (EXCLUSIVE)
Mike Goodridge's Brit company is producing Edward Berger's The Ballad of a Small Player, and is looking to scale up its productions and move into TV
Starring Colin Farrell and Tilda Swinton, the psychological thriller is based on the book by Lawrence Osborne about a gambler and was set and shot last year amid the towering casinos of Macau (where Goodridge served as artistic director of its film festival from 2016-2021). With “The Ballad of a Small Player” now in the final stretch, Goodridge now says the plan is for Good Chaos to be producing more films of this size and scope, alongside its work with first-time directors and new talent. “Rather than a lot of British companies, which look West to the U.S., we look East to Europe and beyond,” he says, pointing to its growing roster of global filmmakers and shooting destinations including Japan, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Scandinavia, Hungary and India.
