Whoopi Goldberg and Jeremy Irvine Comedy ‘Leopardi & Co’ to Launch Sales at EFM Under New Pact Between Italy’s Eagle Pictures, PiperFilm
Tarak Ben Ammar’s Italian outfit Eagle Pictures and Italy’s PiperFilm have announced a multi-pronged distribution partnership. Under their deal, PiperFilm will handle world sales on several Eagle-produced titles including upcoming comedy “Leopardi & Co” starring Whoopi Goldberg and Jeremy Irvine.
PiperFilm will launch sales on the English-language film, directed by Italy’s Federica Biondi, at the upcoming European Film Market. In “Leopardi & Co,” Goldberg portrays the agent of an American actor played by Irvine and lands him a part as the great Italian poet Giacomo Leopardi. But since her client knows nothing about Leopardi, a young Italian woman (played by Denise Tantucci) is hired to provide background information. Romance ensues.
The pact will see PiperFilm handling distribution of several Italian films produced by Eagle Pictures, while the Home Entertainment division of Eagle Pictures will handle the home video and transactional rights of PiperFilm’s lineup, starting with Paolo Sorrentino’s “Parthenope.
