MIPTV Spotlight: Global Screen

CANNES: The big-budget disaster movie Heroes features a star-studded German cast.

It comes from Dreamtool Entertainment, which is also behind the successful treasure-hunters trilogy that includes The Charlemagne Code, The Spear of Destiny and The Hunt for the Amber Room. Heroes will be on offer from Global Screen at MIPTV, along with Weissensee, which tells a Romeo and Juliet-style love story. “Following the smash-hit first season, we are proud to present six more episodes of this beloved series at MIPTV,” says Marlene Fritz, the company’s head of regional TV sales. The docudrama Charlemagne recounts the dramatic and violent life of one of the most powerful emperors of the Middle Ages. “It is a must-have for the anniversary year of the emperor’s death, 2014,” says Fritz.
