TNT Africa & Particular Crowd Team for Movie Slate

TNT Africa, through a new partnership with Particular Crowd, is set to premiere a new original title from the movie banner every month exclusively throughout Africa.

The movies will be curated from a selection of Particular Crowd’s English-language titles. The first movie to premiere will be the true-life prison-break thriller Escape from Pretoria, starring Daniel Radcliffe. Set in South Africa, the movie depicts the daring prison escape of anti-apartheid activist Tim Jenkin from the notorious Pretoria prison.

Other movies joining the slate include Standing Up, Falling Down, starring Billy Crystal and Ben Schwartz; thriller Human Capital, starring Liev Schreiber, Peter Sarsgaard and Marisa Tomei; and the action movie Twist, starring Michael Caine and Lena Headey.

Peter Bevan, VP or Particular Crowd, said: “We’re delighted to be collaborating with our TNT Africa family on this ambitious and exciting slate of original content. Expanding the global audience reach for our content is an important focus of our multiplatform strategy.”

Guillermo Farré, head of general-entertainment channels at WarnerMedia Africa, said: “With this launch, we are expanding our TNT Africa’s channel offering. We’re always obsessed with creating unique experiences for our fans, and with the new TNT Original Movies, we’re providing our audiences with an exciting, wide range, and consistent flow of high-quality programming across all genres.”
