Saban Films has acquired distribution rights to numerous global territories on “Wildcat,” a thriller starring “Black Mirror” actor and BAFTA winner Georgina Campbell.
The distributor will roll out the film in North America, Variety has learned, as well as the U.K. and Ireland where Saban has recently expanded its presence.
Jonathan W. Stokes (“El Gringo”) wrote and directed the piece about an ambitious reporter (Campbell) stationed in the Middle East who is taken captive after her convoy is ambushed. She is confronted by the trauma of her past and must find a way to bring down the militants who incarcerated her.
Campbell won the best actress BAFTA TV award in 2015 for the BBC original “Murdered by My Boyfriend.” She also broke out in the “Black Mirror” episode “Hang the DJ,” about futuristic courtship system, and starred in “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.”
