The Veterans Founders Vincent Maraval & Kim Fox, Coming Off $100M In Cannes Sales, Talk ‘Emilia Pérez’ Gamble, Movie Taste & What’s Next
The execs, who are coming off the back of $100M in Cannes sales, talk birth of foreign sales and packaging outfit, movie taste & what's next
The company completed more than $100 million in sales in Cannes this year – a staggering figure in today’s fragile ecosystem – with projects like Jason Statham starrer Mutiny, an action-thriller directed by Plane’s Jean-François Richet, and Walter Salles’ directorial comeback I’m Still Here scoring big territory deals at the market. For Maraval and Fox, it’s a slate that is reflective of their taste and the kinds of films they want to be reputed for delivering: a blend of commercial and quality action titles with eclectic and smart arthouse fare for the international theatrical and streaming marketplace. Going into AFM, the company will be launching sales on a number of key titles: Adam Driver, Anne Hathaway and Jeremy Strong starrer Paper Tiger from director James Gray; Theo James starrer The Hole; Lear Rex, starring Al Pacino as tragic monarch King Lear alongside Jessica Chastain as his villainous, power-hungry, oldest daughter Goneril; and Jim O’Hanlon’s ensemble comedy Fackham Hall, starring Thomasin Mackenzie, Katherine Waterston, Emma Laird, from an idea developed by UK comedian Jimmy Carr.
