New York-based Kino Lorber has acquired all of the North American rights to the “Virtual Reality” horror film, from Argentine director and producer Hernan Findling (“Impossible Crimes”).
Other closed pic deals include FilmSharks Media 4 Fun (Poland), AV Jet (Taiwan), and Laon-I (South Korea). Japan, Latin America, UK and France are under discussion.
Starring Vanessa Gonzalez, Cesar Bourdon, Christian Sancho and Federico Ball, “Virtual Reality” was shown in Sitges and Bevan. In it, the cast and crew arrive at their director’s home for their first trailer showing. They soon discover that he made a sinister pact to ensure his career really took off.
FilmSharks continues to release Fabian Forte’s folkloric horror comedy ‘Legions’ and other romantic comedy ‘Ghosting Gloria’.
Set to premiere at July’s Fantasia Festival, Legions closed Germany (GAS, via Donau Film), Russia/CIS (Cinema Prestige) and Taiwan (AV Jet). The United States is in talks.
In a separate agreement, “Ghosting Gloria” was acquired by HBO Max Europe from Warner Media. Star Entertainment has acquired Indian rights, while the film has already been sold to the United States (streaming service Pantaya), as well as Spain (Movistar Plus) and Taiwan (AV Jet). Discussions are taking place on Latin America, France, Germany and Japan.
