Red Arrow International Unveils Scripted & Non-Scripted Highlights

CANNES: The Oscar winners Dame Judi Dench and Dustin Hoffman lead the cast of Roald Dahl’s Esio Trot, part of the Red Arrow International catalogue for MIPCOM buyers.

Also new is the crime series 100 Code, which features Dominic Monaghan (Lost) and Michael Nyqvist (the Millennium trilogy). Another highlight is Bosch, starring Titus Welliver (Argo) and adapted from Michael Connelly’s best-selling book franchise.

“On our way to becoming a ‘mini studio,’ we are increasing our activity in the fields of co-production, co-financing and packaging, and MIPCOM is the perfect place to find and secure new properties and bring the right players to the table to lay the foundation for new exciting projects,” says Irina Ignatiew, the managing director of global scripted distribution at Red Arrow International.

The company will also offer a slate of formats, with a lead offering being Escape Your Life, which gives three couples the opportunity to start over in a new place that is chosen by a team of experts. The couples will have only the clothes on their backs and a suitcase full of money when they arrive.

Another highlight is Lost in Love, which follows people as they go on a quest to track down “the one that got away.” Decimate, a new BBC daytime quiz show, sees prize money get “decimated” each time an incorrect answer is given.

“MIPCOM is the perfect market to launch new formats,” says Henrik Pabst, the company’s managing director of global format and factual distribution. “It’s also a great place to find new projects, meet talent and hopefully secure the next big thing.”
