John Hopewell Chief International Correspondent Italy’s I Wonder Pictures has boarded Finnish comedy “The Player” as a co-producer ahead of its bow at Haugesund’s industry sidebar New Nordic Films.
The company will also handle local distribution. The project is directed by Teemu Nikki and produced by It’s Alive Films’ Jani Pösö. “I consider Teemu Nikki as one of the best European directors.
He is brilliant, prolific and always surprising,” Andrea Romeo, I Wonder Pictures’ general manager and head of acquisitions, told Variety. “I think that his cinema will be increasingly appreciated in the world, as well as in Italy.
His movies always talk about important issues, keeping a perfect balance between black comedy and auteur cinema. It’s also a great pleasure for us to work with a producer like Jani and a company as prestigious as It’s Alive Films.” The Finnish duo has just been nominated for the Nordic Council Film Prize for their previous film “The Blind Man Who Did Not Want to See Titanic,” also awarded in Venice.
