- Library extended to include mainstream TV films and mini series
- Experienced management for purchasing and distribution - World-wide
rights in two-part TV series "Victoria & Albert"
Splendid Film GmbH, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Splendid Medien AG, Cologne, is to acquire and market
the world-wide perpetual rights for mainstream TV productions, and
will thus extend its existing library (720 films) to include TV films
and mini series.
Douglas J. Schwalbe is responsible for purchasing and world-wide
distribution of the TV productions. Schwalbe has been in the TV
business for more than 15 years, and has excellent contacts in the
international media and film industry. He was formerly responsible
for the world-wide distribution of films and TV programmes at the US
media companies HBO (Home Box Office), Twentieth Century Fox and MGM
(Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer).
The first TV project will be "Victoria & Albert", a two-part
history series concerning the love story between Queen Victoria and
her husband Albert. Splendid has acquired the world-wide marketing
rights outside America and Great Britain, incl. online rights.
Production of the mini series, which is an A&E Network original
production to be produced by own2feet Productions, is due to start in
the near future. The budget is over USD 9 million. The summer of 2001
has been set as the likely date for the TV premiere.
