London -- Universal Pictures has taken a minority stake in Italian production banner Cattleya, while Focus Features International, Uni's recently realigned international sales unit, will partner with the shingle to develop, co-produce and distribute its films.
Universal Pictures International will distribute a minimum of two films a year in Italy as a result of the two pacts, the parties said Monday. The deal marks the first time that a major U.S. studio has invested directly in a local production company in Italy, according to Universal.
Rome-based Cattleya is headed by Riccardo Tozzi, Giovanni Stabilini and Marco Chimenz, with producer Francesca Longardi leading development. Recent output includes last year's Donatello winner "Mio Fratello E Figlio Unico" (My Brother Is an Only Child) and the Oscar-nominated "La Bestia nel Cuore" (Don't Tell).
The first film released through the Universal/Cattleya deal will be Umberto Carteni's "Diverso da Chi," starring Luca Argentero and Claudia Gerini,...

Universal's Focus Features and its international sales arm Focus Features International are joining forces with Uni's international production division to create a new, merged entity that will take a global approach to the film business.
James Schamus will continue to steer the course as Focus Features CEO. Christian Grass -- who joined Uni as its London-based president of international production in October 2007 to ramp up the company's international and local production efforts -- will take on the new title of co-ceo of Ffi. Andrew Karpen, president of Focus Features, will become president of the new entity.
Within the Uni family, Schamus and Grass already had begun to work together closely, particularly when it came to international distribution. So the move represents a reorganization that ties their fortunes together more tightly while providing the combined company with a more diversified portfolio.
