Beta Film has secured a new round of international deals driven largely by titles from its crime catalogue, including Copper, Cracked, and Big Ben.
The crime drama Copper has been acquired in the UK by the digital platform U from UKTV. Set in 1860s New York City, Copper was created by Barry Levinson, Tom Fontana and Will Rokos, and follows detective Kevin Corcoran as he returns from the Civil War and attempts to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of his wife and the death of his daughter.
The German crime movie cycle Big Ben has also been relicensed to PRIMA TV for the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Big Ben follows a Bavarian police inspector whose unconventional methods, and love of good food, accompany his investigations into murders and mysteries in a quiet Alpine town.
The Canadian crime drama Cracked launched with a strong performance in Germany via Prime Video Direct. The psychological crime drama Cracked stars David Sutcliffe and Stefanie von Pfetten and follows a specialized police psychological unit investigating complex criminal cases.
Beta Film handles worldwide sales for all of these titles.
