We have agreed a first look deal with Nevermind Pictures, the production company from filmmaker and Academy Award-nominated actor Kristen Stewart (Love Lies Bleeding, Spencer), screenwriter Dylan Meyer (Moxie) and producer Maggie McLean (Boygenius: The Film, John Bronco).
The multi-year deal will see Fremantle become the primary home for all of Nevermind’s film and television projects, with the producer working closely with our Global Drama division and, for the TV titles, our international distribution team, FMI. The partnership was spearheaded by Christian Vesper, our CEO Global Drama, and Seb Shorr, COO Global Drama.
The first projects that will be produced as part of the deal will be announced shortly. They will include a wide range of titles encompassing films, drama and documentaries. Stewart, Meyer and McLean’s role will vary on each project with Stewart directing, writing and/or acting, Meyer directing and writing and all three partners producing.
Nevermind joins a prestigious collective of creatives under the Fremantle banner with other first look deals in place with the likes of Pablo and Juan de Dios Larraín’s Fabula, Luca Guadagnino, Paolo Sorrentino, Angelina Jolie, Rachel Weisz and Polly Stokes’ Astral Projection, Edward Berger and his label Nine Hours, Johan Renck and Michael Parets’ Sinestra, Patrick Daly’s Caledonia Productions as well as ongoing collaborations with acclaimed writers and directors including Michael Winterbottom.
Kristen Stewart, Dylan Meyer and Maggie McLean, Partners, Nevermind Pictures, said: "We are emphatically thrilled to be partnering with such esteemed and likeminded creative partners. We're blown away by the talent Fremantle has amassed under their umbrella and can't wait to cut our teeth on our initial forays alongside them."
Christian Vesper, CEO Global Drama, Fremantle, added: “We are incredibly excited to join forces with Kristen, Dylan and Maggie and collaborate on their bold and inventive projects. The Nevermind team’s combined experience and talent are exceptional, and we are sure that Fremantle will be the natural home for their original, fresh perspective.
