Turkish Action Movie '12 Warriors' Heads to AFM & Ventana Sur
The Turkish action movie '12 Warriors' is set to make waves at the American Film Market (AFM) and the Latin American film festival Ventana Sur, with House of Film handling sales. This thrilling film takes audiences on a journey into the world of elite warriors and a sinister mastermind.
The movie follows a group of 12 highly skilled warriors from diverse backgrounds who are abducted and forced into a brutal fight-to-the-death competition. The mastermind behind this sinister scheme is Sergey, a former Russian intelligence officer with a sociopathic streak. Sergey has built a clandestine organization comprising crime bosses, politicians, billionaires, and members of the global elite, adding an element of intrigue to the story.
The team behind '12 Warriors' emphasizes its unique appeal, stating, 'The film stands out not only for its intense action sequences but also for its profound thematic exploration.' The project aims to showcase Turkish cinema on the global stage, and a screening of the completed film will be held at AFM.
IBP Film produced '12 Warriors', with Omer Ilhan and Ates Ozkan as co-directors. The talented ensemble cast includes Tom So, Roon Moss, Afif Ben Badra, Costas Mandylor, Franky Lankester, and Tomas Sjomju. The film is a captivating blend of English and Turkish languages, adding to its cultural richness.
Turkish TV dramas have already conquered the world, particularly in Latin America, the Middle East, and Central and Eastern Europe. They are now making significant strides in Western Europe as well. The TV sales houses dominate major TV festivals and events, and the pre-sales for '12 Warriors' began at MIPCOM in Cannes, the pinnacle of the TV market.
The international sales campaign will continue at AFM in Los Angeles this week, followed by the Latin America-focused Ventana Sur, which commences on December 1 in Buenos Aires. This strategic distribution approach ensures that '12 Warriors' reaches a global audience, showcasing the best of Turkish cinema.
