SILVER SPOON PICKED UP FOR REMAKE IN KOREA
South Korean producer Supermoon Pictures has acquired remake rights for Silver Spoon, the hit Russian crime thriller from Sreda Production Company. This is the first time a Russian drama format has been picked up for adaptation in South Korea.
“I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of Russian drama and concluded that this story and characters will translate well as a Korean remake,” says Mr Insoo Shin, CEO of Supermoon Pictures.
Silver Spoon is the story of a young man, Igor, whose father grows tired of his playboy lifestyle and arranges a job for him in the police force. Though Igor is lazy, spoiled and unmotivated, he shows an instinct for detective work and soon starts to unravel mysteries that have long evaded his colleagues - including the case of his own mother’s death, where his investigations turn up uncomfortable questions for his father.

Trotsky coming to Mexico and Denmark
Charting the rise of the Bolshevik revolutionary from his early days as an imprisoned political dissident, through to his assassination at the hands of rival Stalin, Trotsky sparked wide interest in the international market with a spectacular launch at MIPCOM 2017.
Now Canal 22 in Mexico, and Denmark's state broadcaster DR have picked up the series, which was originally made for Russia’s Channel One by Sreda Production Company.
“Russia has been in the spotlight lately, with the centenary of the October Revolution late last year, and the football world cup taking place this summer,” says Nicola Söderlund, Managing Partner of Eccho Rights. “This high budget, premium costume drama is a great acquisition for buyers looking to seize on this interest in Russia’s rich history.”
