PANTALEON Entertainment AG to Co-Produce with STUDIOCANAL
- Joint venture with German distribution arm of French major Vivendi
- Theatrical adaptation of bestseller "Dem Horizont so nah"
- Production to exceed expectations in coming years
Berlin, December 20, 2016 - PANTALEON Entertainment AG (XETRA: PAL, ISIN:
DE000A12UPJ7) will co-produce the theatrical adaptation of Jessica Koch's
bestseller "Dem Horizont so nah" with STUDIOCANAL, the theatrical
distribution arm of CANAL+ Group, part of French media conglomerate
Vivendi.
The joint venture with STUDIOCANAL marks a milestone in PANTALEON
Entertainment's dynamic expansion, showing the group can continue its
string of major box-office hits along with the global roll-out of
innovative Video-on-Demand platform pantaflix.com. For PANTALEON Films,
it's the next promising and exciting project in the feature film pipeline,
which is far exceeding initial planning: Thanks to several years of
investment in project development, PANTALEON now has so many ongoing and
upcoming film projects in the pipeline the production arm is set to see
considerable growth in coming years.
"Dem Horizont so nah" is the debut novel by Jessica Koch, which was
published in March 2016 and quickly climbed the major German best-seller
charts, both Bild and Amazon. The book is the first of the "Danny Trilogy".
Part 2, "Dem Abgrund so nah" was published in July 2016, while Part 3,
"Dem Ozean so nah", the climactic finale, was just published a few days
ago.
Says STUDIOCANAL CEO Kalle Friz: "A novel that can take the audience by
storm like ,Dem Horizont so nah' did is destined for the silver screen. We
are very proud to be able to develop this bestselling property as a feature
film, and as our first co-production with PANTALEON Films."
"You don't often find a book that has movie adaptation written all over it
quite like this authentic, moving story. We are very excited about working
with STUDIOCANAL and author Jessica Koch on this very special project,"
says PANTALEON FILMS producer Kristina Löbbert.
