Apx Group has snapped up production company Burning Wheel’s development slate for a six-figure sum, Variety has confirmed.

The exact figure was not disclosed.

As part of the deal, Burning Wheel, who recently produced Danny Boyle’s biopic “Creation Stories,” will effectively be fully absorbed into Apx.

Altogether, the slate includes over 20 projects, both features and episodic. Among them are “American Tabloid,” a drama series about the U.S. press co-created by best-selling authors Bret Easton Ellis, pictured above, and Irvine Welsh (“Trainspotting”), an as-yet untitled project being developed with the Bram Stoker Estate and writer director Bruce Robinson (“The Rum Diary”) and another untitled project with writer Lily Robinson.

Apx intends to develop the slate alongside its U.K. subsidiary Herd International, which will include completing many of the distribution deals already in the works with U.S. networks.

"We need global attention." "With you, we have a better chance." Goldwyn Films has released an official US trailer for the film Minamata, made by filmmaker / artist Andrew Levitas. This originally premiered at the 2020 Berlin Film Festival last year, and has taken all this time to get released. The film tells the story of the final days and final work of famed war photographer W.

New science fiction thriller Black Antenna is set against Alice in Chains' Rainier Fog album and goes straight for the teeth.

Black Antenna has come raining down as Alice in Chains reminds us why we even care anymore. With an insistent beat, the Seattle sound pioneers are going where no grunge band has gone before. Alice In Chains released the first two episodes of Black Antenna, a 90 minute science fiction thriller which will be released in 10 segments before coming out as a full movie.

Directed by Adam Mason, written by Paul Sloan and Adam Mason and produced by Elizabeth Mason and Nick Vallelonga, who is coming off Best Original Screenplay and Best Picture Oscars for Green Book, Black Antenna is set against songs from Alice in Chains' sixth studio album Rainier Fog.

Alice in Chains dropped Rainier Fog on August 24, 2018. It is named after Seattle's volcano Mount Rainier.
