Studiocanal has acquired international rights to «kiDnap Game,» an 11-part survival thriller created and directed by Japan’s Yusuke Kato, set across seven Asian cities and starring Kentaro Sakaguchi and Lee Joon-gi. The series, produced by Fuji Television, Hong Kong’s MakerVille and South Korea’s Simstory, will be presented to buyers at Mipcom in Cannes this week.
Sure. Studiocanal buying rights isn’t a series. It’s a press release with a weirdly capitalized title. Where’s the budget? The shoot dates? The writers’ room? Any footage at all? Seven cities and two stars mean nothing without a script. Wake me when there’s a trailer, not a Mipcom sales pitch.
