Franchise Pictures is going to London. Elie Samaha’s LA-based production and financing outfit is launching a UK distribution outfit, hiring London-based production executives and teaming with tax and finance specialist Invicta Capital for co-production and tax finance structuring on the new venture.

Samaha and partner David Bergstein are ten days away from closing a deal to buy a London post-production facility out of which they plan to base their production and distribution operations.

Among the first titles which will be steered towards the UK are: Stephen Frears’ $65m racing thriller Monkeyface starring Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones which will be shot in South Africa and the UK with post-production taking place in the UK; Gary Oldman-starrer Dead Fish which will be shot entirely in the UK, Steven Seagal actioner Unleashed which is budgeted at $14m and which will be shot in Luxembourg and the UK,..."


DAMN ! Only $14 million budget.....

Wow,14 million does seem a little low budget!Given the fact that this flick is being shot in Luxemberg,I would guess Unleashed is a name change for The Rescue.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks Jhogan-dont you love all these name changes

 

[Lotussan]

Unleashed, huh? Thanks, Jhogan...

How do we know that this "Unleashed" is "The Rescue"? It may be a different new movie.

 

[justice808]

Whatever,they sure like to keep us guessing

at first i thought it must be the rescue then i remembed that seagals was to get 4m for the rescue and for a 14m the main star would not get 4m in my view.i think this is a different movie altogether.

It sure sounds that way and lately he has been moving on to new movies every 3 months or so..
I'd like to see the premise for "Unleashed". Unleashed dont sound like a title change for a movie named The Rescue. I guess we will have to just keep guessing until something is solidly confirmed one way or the other.
So far we have had tow plots for the movie "Out for a Kill" as well. He is either Robert Burns or Travis Bidner and its either about the mexican drug wars or the chinese mafia.
