PARIS -- What's the link between Tony Scott's Domino, Canadian historical epic Nouvelle France, the big-budget video game adaptations Oni-musha and Silent Hill and the Spanish-language thriller The Aura from hot Argentine director Fabian Bielinsky? The answer is that all are co-produced by French independent distributor Metropolitan FilmExport and its production arm Davis Films, jointly run by brothers Victor and Samuel Hadida. Metropolitan has established itself as one of the leading buyers in the international marketplace, wrapping up a slew of deals at the recent European Film Market in Berlin, notably on Terry George's competition title Hotel Rwanda. The backbone of the company's distribution slate remains its output deal with New Line, and Metropolitan's recent burst of production activity is undoubtedly spurred by the cash bonanza flowing from the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
