The 'Joker' backer and 'Resident Evil' producer will bankroll Upgrade Productions, the new production outfit from industry veterans Brodlie and Kier.
Upgrade is looking to capitalize on the surging demand for local language content worldwide, a boom driven by the expansion of global streaming services.
“There has been a profound shift in the viewing habits around the globe that has led to a dramatic increase in the demand for foreign language films and series,” said Brodlie in a statement. Added Kier: “these are exciting times for our industry and for the local creators stepping onto the global stage.”
