FAST TRACK isn’t finished yet but we’ve already scored a few advance sales. Here’s the news from World Screen International.
BERLIN/LOS ANGELES, June 18: …and action! Distribution has sold the English-language action drama Fast Track: No Limits, co-produced by Action Image and ProSieben in Germany, to France’s M6, Japan’s Comstock Group and China’s Beijing Time Entertainment.
Fast Track: No Limits is the first English-language action drama shot in Germany. Set in the world of urban street racing, Fast Track: No Limits is a story of a group of characters that include a rookie cop, a trophy wife, a fugitive getaway driver, and a young female mechanic, who believe that car racing in abandoned industrial areas is the only way to know that they’re alive. Fast Track: No Limits was written and executive produced by the award-winning American showrunner Lee Goldberg.
"M6 is an excellent partner and the perfect channel as it fits exactly with the target audience for Fast Track: No Limits," commented Gavin Reardon, the president of …and action! Distribution. “We are also delighted with our sales to the Comstock Group and Beijing Time Entertainment, especially given the success of automotive-oriented action programming in Asia.”
Lee,
Congratulations! Do you use separate distribution companies for domestic vs. international sales? I am absolutely fascinated with this facet of the business!
Congratulations! Maddie will be a star all over the world, and you, too.
Incidentally, Lee, not to step on your music supervisor’s toes, but if you’re looking for another pop song/artist to feature, you might want to see if Rihanna’s “Shut Up and Drive” (from her latest CD “good girl gone bad”) is available.
She’s on Island/Def Jam which is a division of Universal, if that helps.
