Gaumont, the venerable French film and television group behind “The Intouchables” and “Lupin,” is launching in Italy with Marco Rosi, an industry veteran joining from Lux Vide, and a bullish first slate.
The company is already well-established in the U.S., the U.K. and Germany. Its expansion in Italy represents a logical step in Gaumont’s global strategy since the country ranks as a key European market and boasts a fertile ground for content creation.
Rosi, who was Lux Vide’s head of international co-productions and worked on prestige Italian series such as “Medici,” “Devils” and “Leonardo,” has been appointed general manager of Gaumont’s Italian operation. As such, he will lead a dedicated team across development and production and will report directly to Christophe Riandee, vice CEO of Gaumont. The banner will be headquartered in Rome, and will be focused on Italian-language TV series. Gaumont suggested that it...

The Weinstein Company has acquired the remake rights to Italian comedy Perfetti Sconosciuti (Perfect Strangers)
The feature takes place over a dinner party with seven lifelong friends — three couples and one divorcée — all of whom decide to test how well they know each other by putting their phones on the table and revealing every text message or phone call received during the evening. Hilarity and disaster expectantly ensue.
Paolo Genovese directed the Italian-language original from a script he wrote with Rolando Ravello, Paolo Costella, Filippo Bologna and Paola Mammini. Medusa Film produced the project.
