Intandem optimistic after increasing movie catalogueApr 25 2006
Birmingham-based film financing and distribution company Intandem Films was in optimistic mood yesterday after telling shareholders it was on track to achieve an improvement on last year's inaugural results.
AIM-listed Intandem said it had quadrupled the number of films in its catalogue to 12, with total budgets in excess of 30.8 million.
It has signed agreements for the international sales rights to five completed American films, one Danish/Chile co-production currently in post production, a UK/American documentary which starts shooting in May, and two films due to start production in the summer, a thriller to be filmed in Brazil and an American horror film.
Intandem said it would earn sales commission of at least 15 per cent on sales of the films.
Revenues for the five completed movies will fall into the current year, while revenues on the other films are expected to be taken in the year ending June 30 2007, when they will be delivered.

The five completed films are Civic Duty, a thriller starring Peter Krause fromSix Feet Under, which will have its worldwide premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York, The Orphan King and Statistics, which are two thrillers from Michel Shane, the executive producer of I Robot and Catch Me If You Can, and also two horror films from prolific producer Donald Kushner, Snuff-Movie and True True Lie.
Films in production are Black Pimpernel, a true story about the Swedish ambassador Harald Edelstam and his fight to save the lives of thousands of refugees during the Chilean military coup in 1973; and Heaven and Hell, a documentary about the hypocrisy surrounding religion, politics and the porn industry in the Bible Belt states of America.
Films due to start production in the summer are Flower in Brazil and Primal Scream.
Intandem said the films would be marketed at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
Entrepreneur chairman Gary Smith said: "We are pleased to have added a portfolio of thrillers and horror films to our sales slate and are delighted at the quality of producers being attracted to Intandem, particularly in the United States."
In February Intandem reported a turnover for the six months to December 31 of 438,000 compared to the previous figure of 343,000.
The loss for the half year came in at 138,000.
However, Intandem insisted that the loss was "significantly less" than the 431,000 deficit which it posted in the six months to June 2005.

Haven't checked this out in a while. Cannes is just around the corner and the company seems bullish from the above posts. I lost a bit of interest after Stoned but it looks as though they could be coming good with these new films

Heavy buying this morning !
I'm excited about "A Flower In Brazil" because it is going to star Jon Voight, Donald Sutherland and Pierce Brosnan.
These are heavyweights and so the budget is going to be large - good for Intandem Films.

Intandem takes on "Carry on London" [ 17/05/2006 ]
CARRY ON TO DO IT FOR THE 32ND TIME
By Sherna Noah, PA Showbusiness Correspondent, in Cannes
Ex-EastEnder Shane Richie, Vinnie Jones and Victoria Silvstedt are set to star in a 32nd Carry On film, it was announced today. The movie, Carry On London, centres around a limousine company, Lennys Limos, hired to ferry celebrities to the Herberts, a fictitious version of the Oscars
in the capital.
Film-makers promise the usual Carry On ingredients of saucy humour, riotous slapstick and double entendres in the politically-incorrect movie.
The decision to bring Carry On back to life was first announced in 2003 but
hit financial problems. The original cast, which included Ex-EastEnders Danniella Westbrook and Shaun
Williamson, (Barry Evans), as well as It Girl Lady Isabella Hervey, dropped
out. Now the famous franchise is being re-launched with a new producer, writing
team, director and film company. Peter Richardson, best known for TV comedy The Comic Strip Presents..., is directing the #6.4 million feature film. Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels star and former footballer Jones, 41, plays London nightclub owner and gangster Tony Le Berc, known as two fingers Tony. Richie, 42, best known as Alfie Moon in EastEnders, has been cast as the lead character, limo company owner Lenny.
Swedish blonde and former Playboy Playmate of the Year Victoria Silvstedt, 31, plays a starlet being ferried to the awards ceremony. Other characters include scoundrel and magazine publisher Sir Desmond Uppingham Knightly and LA film boss I. P. Freely. The new cast was announced in Cannes in the run-up to the film festival, which opens tomorrow.
The last attempt to resurrect the Carry On franchise ended badly, with 1992s Carry on Columbus.
The film featured alternative comedians like Rik Mayall, Alexei Sayle and Julian Clary, alongside Carry On star Jim Dale. Barbara Windsor was said to have turned down a chance to star in the film
after reading the script. The movie was panned by critics and did not take off at the box office.
Now film-makers are keen to give the British stalwart another go, with an international cast to boost its profile abroad. A total of 30 Carry On films were made between 1958 and 1978 at the Pinewood studios, directed by Gerald Thomas. Carry Ons innuendo-laden humour and sending up of British institutions
reached a peak of popularity in the 1960s. The films, still today regularly screened on TV, established the careers of some of Britains best-loved comedy actors, including Kenneth Williams, Barbara Windsor, Sid James and Hattie Jacques. Carry On London will be shot in and around the capital and at Pinewood Shepperton Film Studios this summer.
Richie said: Like many people I grew up with the Carry On movies and was thrilled to be asked to star in the new film. The original films, packed with double entendres and hilarious comedy, kept us all laughing for over 30 years, so its a great honour not only to be asked to be part of the new film but also to be carrying on a wonderful tradition.
Im really looking forward to it, Matron! Jones said: Its great to be part of such a wonderful comedy tradition. It really kept me laughing through my youth so its great news that Im part
of that tradition and able to introduce it to my own kids.
Director Richardson said: Fans of the Carry On film around the world should be thrilled that this great British institution is returning in all its glorious vulgarity and will feature Britains best comic actors who are standing by to camp it up for all their worth. I am proud to be involved in such a politically incorrect and extremely funny film. Carry On creator Peter Rogers, 92, on board as the films executive producer, added: Here we go again.
The franchise is being re-launched by UK film company Intandem Films and British producer Chris Chrisafis, known for Where The Truth Lies, and The Count of Monte Cristo. Gary Smith, chief executive of Intandem Films, said: Carry On is such a
successful and powerful franchise. We believe that this film will certainly please the faithful fans but also appeal to a young new audience unfamiliar with the legacy of Carry On who simply
want to be entertained by a laugh-out-loud quality comedy.

Got a mention on my local radio station yesterday about the Carry on London movie. I am hoping this is going to turn IFM from a small company into something much larger. The slate of films on their website is quite impressive now.

BRUSSELS (AFX) - The European Commission said it has cleared the UK's film tax incentive scheme under aid rules.
The scheme, approved until the end of March 2012 on the basis of revised criteria, aims to use tax-based incentives to encourage filmmakers to produce cultural British films.
The aid takes the form of an enhanced tax deduction and a payable film tax credit.
UK authorities have undertaken to modify the film tax incentive scheme, if necessary, in accordance with any changes to the state aid rules in the audiovisual sector.
The total yearly budget for the UK film tax incentive amounts to 120 mln stg.
