Sony Takes Majority Stake In ‘Alex Rider’ Producer Eleventh Hour Films


Sony has bought a majority stake in 'Alex Rider' and 'Rebus' maker Eleventh Hour Films, upping its previous minority shareholding.

“Over the past decade, Jill, Eve and Paula have built a remarkable company and it has been a great joy for everyone at Sony to have been part of their adventure,” said Wayne Garvie, President, International Production at SPT. The deal is part of a strategy to consolidate SPT’s international production group portfolio under Garvie, and comes a few months after we revealed global scripted chief Nina Lederman was leaving the business. “As Co-CEOs we are delighted to now lead the company onwards into its next exciting chapter, remaining true to Jill’s founding principle of always striving to find ways to bring great stories to screen – on schedule and on budget.”
