Screen Daily on Damsel – AFM Launches Ambitious Slate:

Robert Pattinson western, Michael Douglas-exec’d drama among 10-15 strong slate. [My emphasis]

Having previously invested in a number of films to have secured US deals this year, including Rachel Weisz drama Complete Unknown [pictured] which went to Amazon, and Christine Vachon-produced The Goat, which was sold to Paramount for the world, the three-year-old company is now going hard at the international film sales space on projects it has invested in at an early stage.

… Also on the slate are Damsel, with Robert Pattinson and Mia Wasikowska …

There are around 20 of us that work at the company in the UK and probably another six in New York. We’re expanding,” Halmi Jr told Screen.

“The international market is critical for us in the types of elevated films we’re making.”
