"55"
Quiver Distribution has taken the North America rights on Scott Free Productions new thriller "55" and plans to release film in 2Q 2025. The deal has been negotiated by Guido Rud and Matias Fontenla of FilmSharks and Quiver Distribution's TJ SMITH and Larry Greenberg. FilmSharks will be presenting the film to buyers at AFM as other major territories such as LatAm, Spain, France, Germany, Japan are in talks.
"55" is an Indian-American co-production and tells the story of an organized pickpocketing gang which names their members after numbers. 55, an orphan teenage pickpocket working the streets of Mumbai, embarks on a life-altering journey after meeting the daughter of one of his victims.
Scott Free Productions is responsible for some of the most successful films ever made - including "Top Gun", "Gladiator", "Blade Runner", "Alien", "American Gangster", "Thelma and Louise" and "Black Hawk Down".
"'55' is a tour-de-force cinematic achievement, and we are proud to bring this film to the world," says Tom Moran, Executive Producer and SVP Scott Free.
Matias Fontenla of FilmSharks says, "High Octane Indian Cinema has proven to be red-hot in the US and worldwide. We feel Quiver is the perfect partner that shall make this film shine."
Executive Producer Paul Feig adds, "'55’ is such a masterful film that delivers in so many ways. It's an emotional crowd-pleaser, a sometimes scary, sometimes funny and always engaging look at the unseen inhabitants of Mumbai. Shyam Madiraju has taken an incredibly talented cast of young newcomers and gotten the performances of a lifetime out of them. I couldn't love this movie more."
