MIPCOM Spotlight: Amazon MGM Studios Distribution

Amazon MGM Studios Distribution is offering to buyers Earth Abides, a six-part new take on George R. Stewart’s sci-fi novel of the same name that stars Alexander Ludwig (Vikings) and Jessica Frances Dukes (Ozark).

It tells the story of one man’s survival after a plague almost wipes out the human race. “This is a story with universal themes of survival, resilience and hope that audiences around the world will relate to strongly,” says Chris Ottinger, head of Amazon MGM Studios Distribution.

Levon’s Trade, with Jason Statham in the lead role, centers on a former black ops agent who changed careers to construction. When his boss’s teenage daughter vanishes, however, he is pulled back into a shadowy world.

The Accountant 2 features a star-studded cast, including Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal.

“Amazon MGM Studios Distribution is coming into the market with a strong slate of films, formats and series with big-name talent,” Ottinger notes.
