MUMBAI: UTV Motion Pictures has signed a foreign sales deal with Madrid-based film sales company 6 Sales, for ExTerminators, the first independent Hollywood venture of the Mumbai-based integrated media company. Through its foreign sales partner, UTV has inked distribution deals for Romania, Benulux and Middle Eastern territories.The film, a dark comedy, is directed by John Inwood and stars Heather Graham, Jennifer Coolidge and Amber Heard. It is about Alex (Graham), a lonely accountant whose sole act of rage results in her being sentenced to court mandated rage therapy. There she meets Stella (Coolidge), the owner of a small extermination business who uses her car as a weapon; and Nikki (Heard), a dental technician with the face of an angel and the mind of a sociopath. Together these unlikely friends form their own ‘silent revolution‘.
Commenting on the deal, UTV Motion Pictures Vice-President USA Lokesh Dhar said, “With Exterminators, we look forward to strengthening our base in the international market. After our international co-productions such as The Namesake, I think I Love My Wife and The Happening, ExTerminators is UTV‘s first independent production in the US and is definitely a landmark for us as well as the Indian Film Industry.”
“The public‘s response is exactly what we had hoped for: uncontrollable laughter and we believe that this type of a film is what the audiences are looking for,” said 6 Sales partner Marina Fuentes.
