Relativity sets China coprod venture with Huaxia Film

KavanaughRecognizing the increasing importance of the Chinese entertainment market, Relativity Media has inked a strategic partnership with Huaxia Film Distribution Co. and SkyLand (Beijing) Film-Television Culture Development and, separately, is teaming with SAIF Partners and IDG China Media to launch the first Chinese-American distribution company, SkyLand Entertainment. Producer/distributor Huaxia is one of the two main conduits for U.S. theatrical releases in China, while SkyLand is a prominent Chinese production, financing and distribution shingle. SkyLand will distribute all of Relativity's future films in China, including "Immortals," "Haywire," "The Raven," the Navy SEAL pic "Act of Valor" and its untitled Snow White project starring Julia Roberts. Noting that China is the fastest-growing film market in the world, with more than 6,000 screens and better than $1.5 billion in box office revenue last year -- an increase of more than 60% last year alone -- Relativity CEO Ryan Kavanaugh said, "We're excited to be entering into this booming market with such great partners in SAIF, IDG and our new strategic partnership with Huaxia. Given the substantial platform created by SAIF and IDG in SkyLand, we believe together we can grow a distribution business in China which brings global product to China, and brings Chinese product to the global market." Though co-productions are exempt from China's quotas on foreign films, they are subject to a strict censorship process, which has made the market a tough nut to crack for Hollywood. It's not clear if this new partnership will be exempt from the quota system or get around it in some way. Relativity will work with SAIF and IDG to develop, produce, distribute and acquire Chinese material that possesses worldwide appeal. SkyLand is jointly owned by Relativity Media, SAIF Partners and IDG China Media. Company is also partnered with a China-based RMB fund to co-invest in local film and TV content and production, with the deal valued at $100 million. The trio are already working on several projects that will bring Chinese folklore to theaters in the U.S. and worldwide. Formed by SAIF and IDG more than two years ago, SkyLand recently co-produced Wayne Wang's "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan." Kavanaugh attended the Beijing press conference along with Huaxia Film's exec chairman Guoqing Gu, SAIF Partners' managing partner Andy Yan and IDG China Media's founding partner Hugo Shong. Joint venture aims to accelerate the pace of co-production between the U.S. studio and its Chinese counterparts. Relativity, SAIF and IDG are working on big-budget titles based on famed events from China's past. Purpose is to create movies that will appeal to Chinese and Western auds and solidify a more fluid film partnership between the U.S. and China while creating strong returns for those investing in the new business. "This partnership will broaden the cooperation platform, introducing significant resource for the co-production of future movies and allowing us to build on valuable movie production experiences from overseas," Gu said. "Meanwhile, such a partnership will also open the channels for Chinese movies to air globally and offer international audiences a better understanding of Chinese culture." Yan, managing partner of SAIF and a large investor in SkyLand and Relativity said: "Until now, there has been a major void in bridging the two worlds of the American and Chinese film industries. After spending significant time learning about Relativity's business and how they approach the international markets, we couldn't be more pleased to have entered into what will undoubtedly be a revolutionary shift in the China film business as we know it." Shong, founding general Partner of IDG China Media and a co-financier of SkyLand, said: "We couldn't be more excited about creating this revolutionary partnership, and simultaneously entering into a strategic partnership with Huaxia." Huaxia has handled Chinese distribution of pics including "Kung Fu Panda," "Fast Five" "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time," "Alice in Wonderland" and the "Harry Potter" and "Transformers" franchises. In May 2010, Relativity pacted with Fuse Capital to form Relativity Media India. (Clifford Coonan in China contributed to this report.) Contact Jeff Sneider at jeff.sneider@variety.com

New Mess Tailor Clips At Giant Screen

World firsts from Alfredson's thrillerThere's greater than a little excitement during these parts for any little spy thriller known as Mess Tailor Soldier Spy, so its presence at Empire Presents.... Giant Screen had us putting on our espionage casual, gripping our annoying products* and going to its panel to look at some world-first footage in the film. Producer Robyn Slovo and film writer Peter Straughan have there been introducing three new clips in the film. The very first demonstrated the influence of MI6's 'Control' (John Hurt) waning inside the agency's HQ. Also known as 'the Circus', it is the setting for many heavyweight acting. Tight and claustrophobic, Hurt and Toby Jones' Percy Alleline slug it vocally over Alleline's mysterious new 'Witchcraft' apple. The 2nd gave our start looking proper at Gary Oldman's Smiley, the smoothness made famous on-screen by Alec Guinness within the 1979 BBC dramatisation. The soft lisp, inscrutable gaze and middle-age slouch disguise an iron will and cat-like intelligence. He's just as 'Smiley' once we were expecting: a pitch-perfect reinvention of the literary and screen icon. The scene saw Smiley send his reliable confederate Peter Guillam on which appears like a fool's errand to lift a vital dossier in the Circus. It is a nerve-racking and superbly designed sequence that simply sings about the giant screen. The 3rd sequence from Tomas Alfredson's thriller exhibited to MI6 agent Ough Tarr's amount of time in Portugal, and also the first thought of the Soviet mole within the Circus. It's Tom Hardy's opportunity to shine. The vignette occupies the majority of a chapter within the BBC's '70s adaptation of John le Carré's novel, and also the movie appears like giving equal weight to Tarr's pivotal back story. Straughan confirmed that. We needed to merge a couple of figures, described the film writer, but otherwise it's almost all there. Oddly enough, Slovo says it had been Alfredson themself who hunted lower the directorial gig. Tomas really found us, she revealed. He'd heard that people used to do it and set themself forward for this. Should you haven't laid eyes on Mess Tailor Soldier Spy's terrific teaser and equally heavyweight trailer, its time. This fantastic-searching spy business is going to be coming in United kingdom movie theaters on September 16. Circle the date on the sheet of paper, then swallow it. *Not literally, legal types

Jonathan Demme Leaves ICM for WME

EXCLUSIVE: No announcements yet from either agency, but Oscar-winning director Jonathan Demme (Silence Of The Lambs) had been an ICM client for 7 years. The iconclastic helmer works in film moving between indie projects and big studio productions, TV, and theater. For Demme, ICM put together Rachel Getting Married, the Jimmy Carter documentary Man From Plains, and The Manchurian Candidate. But recently Demme has been pursuing passion projects with less success. His Neil Young documentary has failed to find a distributor. His Bob Marley documentary was reconfigered by Stephen Bing following a dispute with Demme. And the latest two scripts which interested Demme, The Angriest Man In Brooklyn and Honeymoon With Harry did not find a cast. (See my previous, De Niro Balks, Demme Walks, Movie Chalks.)

TCA: Designers Say 'Two Broke Girls' Isn't Any 'Sex And Also The City'

Diane Haithman is adding to Deadline's TCA coverage. Michael Patrick King Not Doing 'Sex And Also The City' Prequel At the modern TCA panel on 2 Broke Women -- a brand new comedy from Sex and also the City veteran Michael Patrick King and Whitney Cummings, who's also starring in their sitcom for NBC this year -- the creative team shunned evaluations between your Sex and also the City and also the new CBS comedy simply because theyre both about single women.That demonstrate which show (have) different DNA, King stated, protesting that girl shows are frequently discussed as when they are the same show, and all sorts of books about women summarily ignored as chick lit. (2 Broke Women is) the evil twin of chick lit, King stated. And in contrast to Sex, where nobody really understood -- or desired to know -- the way the women taken care of their attractive Manhattan flats and Jimmy Choo footwear, King stated money will be a hard reality beyond only the title. Barbara Bradshaw and her closet were an illusion, he stated, likening Carries wardrobe towards the closet within the Stories of Narnia. Individuals women had relationship check lists. These women barely have inspections.King added the narrative of among the waitresses, described by Janet Behrs, like a wealthy girl whose family has lost almost all their money wasn't directly inspired by Bernie Madoff but inspired by the modern economic reality. We loved the frightening concept of speaking about money, he stated. (There's one inevitable link between the implies that emerged at the start of the panel, however: Kat Dennings, who stars because the streetwise one out of the happy couple of waitresses from the title, described the self-referred to blow job Bar Mitzvah girl within an episode of Sex and also the City. Dennis claims that they needed to request Sex star Kim Cattrall what blow job meant). As she'd in an NBC panel earlier within the week, Cummings defended her capability to behave as a professional consultant about this show in addition to star in their sitcom, though acknowledging that NBCs Whitney might require more of her presence. Im starring within the other show I must physically be there, she stated. For his part, King referred to Cummings role by doing this: Whitney is area of the architecture from the show now, were in the home, he stated. The producers caught some flak from reporters in the panel about having fun with some ethnic stereotypes within the show, particular the smoothness of the recent Korean immigrant. The smoothness isn't dumb -- he just gone to live in the nation, he does not be aware of language, Cummings stated, quarrelling that journalists may have a misperception from the character in the pilot episode since you cant explore (every character) in twenty minutes. King also stated the show wasn't likely to back away from edgy humor, including a tale within the pilot about disabled physicist Stephen Hawking that riled some within the audience. We would like it to be as current so that as edgy as you possibly can, he stated. Twenty-three-year-old women are extremely sophisticated in what they're processing. You can't like this joke, and that i realise why, but we'll always achieve for comedy.
