US producer Joel Silver and the Studio Babelsberg Group have agreed a strategic partnership until 2013.
The deal will include the current slate of over 15 films in Silver’s Dark Castle Entertainment being distributed by Warner Bros.
A central element will be Studio Babelsberg’s role as a co-producer in future films produced by Dark Castle. The agreement anticipates that a number of the films from the slate will be produced on the sound stages at Studio Babelsberg.
It is speculated that the first film to appear at the Babelsberg Studios will be in early 2009 after the Universal/Weinstein Company production of Quentin Tarantino’s INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS vacates the lot in January 2009.
