Vanessa Redgrave & Franco Nero Thriller ‘The Estate’ Gets World Rights Deal With Synkronized
EXCLUSIVE: Synkronized has acquired worldwide distribution rights from IUVIT Media Sales to suspense drama The Estate, starring acting legend Vanessa Redgrave and husband Franco Nero (Django).
Directed and written by Carlo Nero (The Fever), the film charts the story of the Wellsleys, an aristocratic family confronting harsh contemporary realities. In the film, the family is desperate to save their ancestral property due to insurmountable debts. As they struggle to find a solution, a series of disturbing events occur, forcing the Wellsleys to confront deep injustices they and other landowners, past and present, have wrought.
“The audience loves a good whodunnit. Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero have an amazing chemistry,” stated Alex Cohen, CEO of Synkronized.
“The Estate is more than just a drama about a family of English aristocrats trying to save their home. It goes further by confronting the deeply rooted socio-economic injustices our whole world faces – and it offers a solution; one that does not conform to current conventional models,” added Carlo Nero, son of Oscar, Emmy and Tony winner Vanessa and Italian icon Franco.
