ADM unit Imagenation Abu Dhabi aims to partner on international film projects and invest in regional talent to create Arabic- and mixed-language content with crossover appeal.I am now waiting for one of the two US presidential candidates to take a swipe at Hollywood's dependence of foreign oil financing for its all-American entertainment.
The deal adds to ADM's growing global portfolio, which includes a previously announced film and video deal with Warner Bros. as well as plans for theme park and movie theater projects. ADM's first film under its Warner deal -- the Robert Rodriguez-helmed "Shorts" -- recently went into postproduction.
Based in the UAE capital of Abu Dhabi, Imagenation will assume oversight of the Warners deal, launched last year with twin $500 million funds covering film and video productions. The latest ADM funding is expected to cover 40 projects toting budgets of up to $50 million.
Meanwhile the wait for the announcement about the signing of the Ambani-Spielberg/Reliance ADAG-DreamWorks deal continues. It is imminent, I am reliably told.
