E1 Entertainment has
revealed two television deals for Latin America, inked during the L.A.
Screenings.
The studio has sold its
cop drama The Bridge to broadcaster AXN, which has taken the pay TV
rights to the 13-episode series drama that stars Aaron Douglas (Battlestar
Galactica). E1 produced the series, which also has homes on CBS and
CTV, with 990 Multi Media Entertainment and Jonsworth Productions.
The deals were
negotiated by E1's Val Cabrera.
E1 also closed a number
of deals with distributor Leda Films, selling the Latin American TV
rights for The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler, an MOW starring
Anna Paquin and Marcia Gay Harden. It tells the true story of a woman
who helped smuggle children out of the Warsaw ghetto during the
Holocaust.
Leda also picked up the
MOW The Deadliest Sea and the Lifetime movie Murder On Her
Mind. |
