R+P Post 3: Our Production and Distribution

As an independent production company, FRP, we chose to work alongside a bigger company so that we would be able to make our high cost film; our production company is working with Silver Pictures. We chose this company because although it is an American company, they had produced many successful action films including the recent Sherlock Holmes films - these had a British feel to them which we intended to have in our own film opening, while having it also have the same Hollywood type production. Also, Dark Castle Entertainment is a subsidiary of Silver Pictures, which we thought was very important as our film will be similar to the Guy Ritchie film RocknRolla, which had a similar style to our own film.




The distributor we are planning to use is Universal Pictures; since, starting with Non-Stop in 2014, they have a five year marketing and distribution deal with Silver Pictures. We plan for the film to be distributed via DVD. Depending on its popularity in the UK, the film may be shown internationally, perhaps in the United States. We also plan for it to be available on video on demand services such as Amazon instant, Netflix and iTunes a year after its initial release if it is popular enough.
