EXCLUSIVE: Ahead of next month’s European Film Market, U.S. firm Capstone and UK outfit Signature Entertainment are teaming up to launch a new joint sales agency venture called Capture.

The label will be led by Signature’s Ella Field and her team in London and will be a full-service international sales company, with additional financing opportunities for upcoming productions.

Capture will combine Capstone’s genre arm Blue Box with Signature International under one new umbrella. All of Signature International’s ongoing business will be absorbed into the new venture, including their catalogue and upcoming productions.

Capture is due to focus on commercially driven projects in all stages of development and production. First projects are due to be revealed in the near future and we’re told no job losses resulted from the merger.

Ella Field said: “Capture marks an exciting new chapter of our Signature International journey, expanding our existing infrastructure with enhanced financial capabilities. Not only will this increase our market competitiveness, but it ensures we can continue shaping the future of commercial filmmaking for global audiences.”

Signature CEO Marc Goldberg added: “Capture represents an incredibly exciting time for all of us, as we unite our strengths to drive international success for our trusted partners. We look forward to building on our achievements and delivering even greater value together in the years ahead.”

Signature International launched in 2018 as Signature Entertainment’s sales agent arm. The slate includes upcoming pic Riff Raff starring Bill Murray and Jennifer Coolidge and Hippo survival thriller Hungry.

Blue Box’s movies over the years have included Frank Grillo pic Black Lotus, Ryan Philippe movie Summit Fever, Bruce Willis film A Day To Die and Olga Kurylenko-Gary Oldman feature The Courier.

Christian Mercuri’s Capstone will continue to sell films through its own sales and production entity, including the upcoming Trap House (also produced by Goldberg) with Dave Bautista.
