Berlin’s 2014 European Film Market saw a late sales rally, one record claimed, a few hot sellers and even some surprises. But as one producer-distributor put it, there were “not enough good screenplays nor good directors nor buyers.”
“It’s not just that this market is so slow,” Constantin’s Martin Moszkowicz continued. “There are far too many markets in the year. Two markets should go.”
The Weinstein Co. plunked down $7 million — a Berlin record, maybe — for Benedict Cumberbatch starrer “The Imitation Game,” which FilmNation was reportedly selling strongly.
Im Global announced many major-market sales on “Labor of Love,” reteaming M. Night Shyamalan and Bruce Willis. Toymaker Mattel’s hoped-for live-action franchise “Max Steel,” another Im Global title, sold most of the world, said Im Global’s Stuart Ford.
K5 rolled out a second Willis title, the futuristic “Vice.”
Exclusive’s “Black Mass,” with Johnny Depp reattached, was one of the market’s buzziest titles.
