Ryan Kavanaugh’s Relativity Studios and Storyoscopic Films on Monday announced a joint venture whereby Storyoscopic will produce and finance approximately five or more projects a year.
Films produced under the joint venture and backed by what a source said would be at least $200m in production funding will release internationally via Relativity’s network of output partners and go through Relativity Europa Distribution (Red) in the Us.
Relativity launched Red in 2010 after it acquired Overture Films from John Malone’s Liberty Media and four years later EuropaCorp came on board in a reported $130m deal to acquire a 50% stake.
The venture comes as Relativity shifts its focus towards financing, producing and distributing family films and branded features with global appeal.
George Lee and Marcus Englefield, the duo behind 2D-to-3D conversion specialists Venture 3D, have worked with Hollywood and Chinese partners and launched Storyoscopic in 2013 to make family and genre films in the $15-50m range...

Exclusive: Das Films has signed a deal with Beijing based Yisang Media Investment to finance the $35-$40m sci-fi.
Sriram Das and Steve Chicorel will produce the story about a return mission to Europa 20 years after an earlier crew discovered predators below the surface of Jupiter’s icy moon.
Production on Ice Moon Rising is set to commence in the third quarter of 2015. Rita Augustine wrote the screenplay.
Yisang Media previously financed and produced the animated Chinese co-production Little Big Panda and is behind the Us-Chinese co-production Gods.

The King Of Fighters
Stars: Maggie Q, Sean Faris, Will Yun Lee, Ray Park, David Leitch, Françoise Yip | Written by Rita Augustine, Chris Chow, Matthew Ryan Fischer | Directed by Gordon Chan
Based on the Snk Video game series and directed by Gordon Chan (Jackie Chan’s Thunderbolt, Fist of Legend), The King of Fighters is a (relatively) lowbudget independent flick that has little in common with the game from which it takes its name. When I say little in common I mean that the film uses little more than the names of the characters we know and love from the game, and referencing the Orochi, which made up a key part of the story in the early years of the video game franchise (King Of Fighters ’95 – ’97) and has since played a part in subsequent installments – and nothing much else.
