Stallone sci-fi thriller sells like hot cakes at EFM

Warner Bros

Sylvester Stallone’s remake of “Escape from New York” post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller “Little America” is shaping up to be the hot ticket at EFM in Berlin.

Written and directed by Rowan Athale (“Strange But True”), the film has Stallone playing a mercenary hired to find an Asian billionaire’s daughter within a walled city inside futuristic Hong Kong.

Repped by AGC International, “Little America” has already – just days into the market – been snapped up for distribution “with Metropolitan in France; Leonine in Germany and Switzerland; Wild Bunch in Italy; Sun Distribution for pan-Latin America, Spain and Portugal; SPI in Benelux, Turkey and pan-Eastern Europe; Parakeet in CIS; Odeon in Greece; Lionsgate India; Joy N Cinema in Korea and Vietnam; Fox International for Asian pay-TV; MovieCloud in Taiwan; Sahamongkolfilm in Thailand; PT Prima in Indonesia; Empire in South Africa; United King in Israel; and Selim Ramia in the Middle East.”

Sly has a busy year ahead for him, with several other projects – including “Tough as they Come”, “The Expendables 4”, and “Scarpa” all set to shoot; he’s currently wrapping on the drama-fantasy “Samaritan”.
