EXCLUSIVE: Former MGM and Sony Pictures exec Eric Paquette’s film and TV company Meridian Pictures has struck a partnership deal with Saudi Arabian production house and literary management company Hakawati Entertainment.

Under the agreement, Los Angeles Paquette will bring Hollywood talent to the Saudi entertainment sector to develop, produce and distribute original film and TV content, aimed at both regional and international audiences. “Hakawati is really dialled into the local market.

We will combine our various expertise to make content, not only local language but also English-language movies for audiences all over the world,” said Paquette. “Since I left Sony a year and a half ago, I have 35 projects.

Many of them could shoot there,” continued the exec, who officially launched Meridian Pictures in 2021. Meridian projects that could lend themselves to the partnership included the previously announced action thriller Papa Alpha Heavy, which is set on a commercial airline, and an untitled love story set against a bus crash, he suggested, although a slate has yet to be set.
