EXCLUSIVE: Bluestone Entertainment, the U.S. production firm led by former New Line, Artisan and TWC Dimension production exec Richard Saperstein, is teaming up with state-backed Hungarian investment outfit Széchenyi Funds on a ten-picture financing deal over five years.
Under the deal, films will span all genres, with budgets ranging from $10-20M. Principal photography will take place primarily in Budapest, Hungary.
The first film under the partnership is the previously announced psychological sci-fi thriller Slingshot, directed by Mikael Håfström, starring Oscar-winner Casey Affleck and Tony and Emmy Award-winner Laurence Fishburne.
WME Independent is handling world sales and will give the project a market debut at Cannes this month, where the company will unveil the first footage.
Slingshot is about an astronaut struggling to maintain his grip on reality aboard a possibly fatally compromised mission to Saturn’s moon, Titan. The film also features Cannes Best Actress Award-winner Emily Beecham, Tomer Capone, and David Morrissey.
Screenplay is written by R. Scott Adams and Nathan Parker. Pic is currently in post-production and produced by Saperstein (Halloween) and István Major.
“We had a terrific experience producing Slingshot in Budapest and were impressed by the outstanding local crew and resources,” said Richard Saperstein, Chairman of Bluestone Entertainment. “Széchenyi Funds has been a supportive and collaborative partner, and we look forward to producing quality feature films for a global film audience.”
Dénes Jobbágy, Chairman of Széchenyi Funds, added: “Working together on Slingshot, we found Bluestone Entertainment exemplified the quality and expertise we were seeking in a production partnership. Supporting content
