Aspect Film Licenses Feature Film to Sky Movies

LONDON, August 13: Aspect Film has granted Sky Movies the
U.K. broadcast rights to its British comedy feature film Back in Business.

The company has also licensed the film’s worldwide in-flight
rights to Los Angeles-based in-flight distributor Jetstream Pictures. Directed
by Chris Munro, the $3-million
film Back in Business sees an unlikely bunch of con artists go through a series of
comical misadventures in a
quest to steal Britain’s new space exploration buggy, which had been
created to solve the planet’s energy problems and is sought after by foreign
governments. The only person that stands in their way is Scotland Yard's worst
detective, played by Dennis Waterman.

“The film boasts an array of British household names
including Brian Blessed, Martin
Kemp and Chris Barrie,” said Hugh Edwards, Aspect’s managing director.
“The film was released theatrically and on DVD earlier this year and we are of
course pleased to see Sky’s commitment to British films. Back in Business is rated PG and tested well with a young, family
demographic. As such, it should sit well with Sky Movies’ daytime
schedules.”

Aspect Film is a London-based film and TV production and
sales company that was launched in January by Hugh Edwards.
