Mehrere Filmstudios buhlen um Florence-Pugh-Projekt „The Midnight Library“

Florence Pugh wird die Hauptrolle in dem Fantasy-Drama The Midnight Library übernehmen, das auf dem Filmmarkt von Cannes das Interesse mehrerer großer Filmstudios geweckt hat.

Das von Garth Davis inszenierte Projekt hat ein Budget von rund 70 Millionen US-Dollar. Zu den Interessenten für die Rechte im Inland und ausgewählten internationalen Märkten zählen Paramount, Focus und Sony, während der Produzent und Finanzier Studiocanal plant, die Rechte für die eigenen Kerngebiete zu behalten – ein Vorgehen, das dem für Paddington in Peru ähnelt. Ein Abschluss wird in den kommenden Tagen erwartet und könnte ein Volumen von über 30 Millionen US-Dollar erreichen, womit es der größte Deal des diesjährigen Marktes wäre.
