Matthew Macfadyen's 'Epic' film gets Stealth Media Group to handle international sales

Screendaily reports that Stealth Media Group will be handling the international sales of Matthew Macfadyen's (see a publicity/promo pic of him ^ via Screendaily) upcoming film, Epic. While Matthew is currently filming the movie, Stealth is already showing the first footage to buyers at EFM (European Film Market).

“We look forward to the response from buyers to the first footage. It’s playful, intelligent, witty and genuinely funny, and the lead performances are world class. As is Georgia as a location, I can see it being the up and coming place to shoot in the coming years.”

“We are delighted to be able to be participating in this truly commercial international comedy of real scale and size,” added 20 Steps Vova Katcharava.

“We have already begun pre-selling the film and it has already secured a significant German theatrical release. We look forward to introducing the film to buyers in Berlin and to working with Sam and Mike again.” Read full article here.
