MIPCOM Spotlight: BoPaul Media Worldwide

CANNES: There are 17 titles from the Video Mercury Films catalogue that BoPaul Media Worldwide (BMW) is presenting at MIPCOM, among them the Porky’s trilogy, The Stunt Man and Zorro, the Gay Blade.

BMW also recently picked up representation for 11 titles from the Italian filmmaker Ovidio Assonitis, including Beyond the Door and Red Riding Hood. There’s also a small library of features from Aries Films that includes, among others, Stagecoach, starring John Wayne.

The company will be heavily promoting the 720-title library from RKO Pictures for licensing in Asia, says Paul Rich, BMW’s owner and CEO. “We have sold every other territory perpetuity licenses for this library, and we are confident that it will be of prime interest to big TV players, investors and bankers in Asia.”
