MarVista Adds to TV-Movie Slate

LOS ANGELES: The adventure thriller Special Ops and the drama Riding Tornado have joined the catalogue of MarVista Entertainment, which will present the titles for the first time to international buyers at MIPCOM.

Special Ops follows a U.S. Marine captain who must uncover the truth behind an arms-race conspiracy that spans the globe in a race for his life across Southeast Asia. The drama Riding Tornado follows a depressed and damaged young man who embarks on a journey with an emotionally tormented horse in search of healing and self-discovery.

These two titles join further TV movies in the MarVista catalogue such as the two-part Witches of Oz, a family-friendly fantasy adventure based on L. Frank Baum’s classic tale; 16 Wishes, a prime-time family feature about a teenage who can’t wait to grow up; and Mandie and the Cherokee Treasure, based on the popular book series by Lois Leppard, who authored 40 books within the franchise.
