Neon Indie distribution darling Neon is said to be eyeing a launch in the U.K.
According to sources, the U.S company — which also has an international sales operation — is considering planting a flag across the Atlantic, with former Studiocanal U.K. boss Danny Perkins reportedly consulting for them about a potential U.K. operation.
Neon, renowned for its streak of seven Palme d’Or winners (including this year’s Fjord) and backing Oscar best picture winners such as “Anora” and “Parasite,” has recently begun include U.K. rights in it acquisitions deals alongside North America. Cannes titles “Fjord,” “Sheep in the Box” and “Hope” were all acquired for the U.S., U.K. and Australia, with local distribution partners sourced (Picturehouse will release “Fjord” and “Sheep in the Box” in the U.K.). Neon also has the U.K. rights for “Artificial,” Luca Guadagnino’s film about Sam Altman and OpenAI that it acquired after it was controversially dropped by Amazon.
