Insights from Leadership
Guido Rud, founder of FilmSharks and The Remake Co., stated, “A box office film does not drive remake potential; it’s driven by a high-concept plot that is refreshing, modern, marketable, and simple to produce. The Remake Co. has gained its leadership because of its reputation as ‘tastemakers,’ as we have an eye for great scripts, which is why producers tend to come to us to find a remake project to do a local production. It’s all about the script.”
Conclusion
As the demand for localized content continues to rise, The Remake Co. is positioned to be a key player in facilitating global storytelling through strategic and effective adaptations.
