Globo & FOX Entertainment Pact for Christmas Movie

Globo and FOX Entertainment Studios have teamed up to develop and produce an English-language Christmas movie set and filmed in Brazil.

The companies will collaborate on all key creative elements, with Globo overseeing production in Brazil and providing local facilities and crew. Globo will also provide creative guidance to accurately reflect Brazilian culture and traditions, including the country’s unique celebration of Christmas, which takes place during the summer months.

Globo will retain all distribution rights in Brazil, while FOX Entertainment will handle all other worldwide rights.

“Brazil provides the perfect backdrop for a warm, visually stunning and globally resonant holiday story,” said Hannah Pillemer, head of scripted for FOX Entertainment Studios. “Partnering with Globo allows us to combine FOX’s storytelling and production expertise with the authenticity and creative depth that only Brazil’s leading media company can deliver. We are thrilled to be working together to create a film that celebrates the universal spirit of the holidays in a uniquely Brazilian way.”

“By joining forces with a global studio like FOX Entertainment, we’re showing that localization is a creative strength, not a limitation,” added Gabriel Jacome, director of content at TV Globo. “This collaboration combines FOX’s global expertise in storytelling and production with Globo’s deep creative roots and world-class studio in Brazil. The world will discover what a summer Christmas looks like: warm, vibrant and full of life. Our traditions may differ, but the spirit of family and union that defines the holidays is universal.”
