Roland Emmerich Forms Alliance With German Media Fund VIP
LOS ANGELES, California, October 25/PRNewswire/ -- Hollywood
director Roland Emmerich has signed a first look deal for his
non-studio related projects with Germany's largest media fund VIP
(Monster, The Punisher). The parties intend to co-found a production
company during the course of autumn 2004 in Munich, Germany, and are
currently discussing initial projects. VIP's chairman Andreas Schmid
wants to spur growth to his fast-developing activities in
international film finance and production by co-operating with Roland
Emmerich. Roland is one of the world's most successful directors, with
films such as Stargate, Independence Day, The Patriot and, most
recently, The Day After Tomorrow which enjoyed worldwide commercial
and critical success this past summer.
'Andreas' filmmaker-friendly approach to financing and producing
pictures fits well with my own approach to movie-making. It also gives
me the opportunity to work with a well-established German partner,
which I have always wanted to do,' commented Roland on the deal.
