Independent UK producer/distributor Power has sold its latest co-production Air Force One Is Down to Sony Pictures Television’s (SPT) AXN. The sale, spanning two deals covering South Korea and India, Pakistan and Bangladesh respectively, is the latest in a spate of international sales of Air Force One Is Down that includes sales into an additional 40 territories across Asia and Australasia in pan-regional deals with STAR International Movies and Anchor Bay Entertainment.
The action mini-series (2×120’) charts the tense and potentially catastrophic events following the kidnap of the US President when the iconic Air Force One is hijacked by rogue Serbian militants. It stars Jeremy Sisto, Linda Hamilton, Rupert Graves, Jamie Thomas King and Emilie de Ravin.
Power CEO Susan Waddell said, “Our successful international sales on “Air Force One Is Down” demonstrate the enduring appeal of the mini-series format and the action/thriller genre. This was Power’s first co-production in a while and paves the way for more ambitious future co-productions.”
