Amazon MGM Studios Distribution is bringing a strong premium slate to MIPCOM, highlighting its focus on high-profile, character-driven narratives with major theatrical and streaming potential. The studio’s offering for the international market is headlined by two major feature film projects that leverage globally recognized intellectual property and A-list talent, marking a clear push to supply buyers with highly marketable cinematic content.
The slate features the psychological thriller Verity, starring Dakota Johnson. Based on the massively successful bestselling novel by Colleen Hoover, the film centers on a struggling writer who accepts a lucrative job to complete the remaining books in a successful series after its acclaimed author is severely injured in an accident. As she delves into the author’s private notes in an isolated estate, she uncovers a chilling, unpublished manuscript filled with dark family secrets and disturbing confessions. The project capitalizes on the immense built-in global audience of Hoover’s literary universe, offering international distributors a highly anticipated thriller with strong commercial appeal and psychological depth.
Additionally, the studio is showcasing a new iteration of The Thomas Crown Affair. This modern reimagining of the iconic heist romance revitalizes the classic story of a wealthy, sophisticated mastermind who executes an elaborate theft purely for the thrill, only to become entangled in a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse with the brilliant investigator assigned to the case.
