Studiocanal has picked up sales and distribution rights to the back catalogue of Romulus Films, which includes 40+ films. On the lister are John Huston’s _African Queen, Moulin Rouge_ and
_Beat The Devil,_ Laurence Olivier’s BAFTA winning _Richard III_, Philip Leacock’s _Appointment In London_, and Jack Clayton’s Oscar-winning _Room At The Top._ Romulus is still owned by its
founders the Woolf family, who have been working in UK cinema since the 1920s, when they produced early Alfred Hitchcock films, and founded the Rank Organization with J Arthur Rank. In 1948,
following the early death of their father and seeking to establish their independence after working for Rank, brothers John and James Woolf established Independent Film Distributors and
production companies Romulus and Remus Films. In the 1960s and 70s they produced a number of films in partnership with studios including _Oliver!_ And two films based on the books of
Frederick Forsyth _The Day of the Jackal_ and _The Odessa File_. The company continues to produce, under the guidance of founder John’s son, Jonathan. WATCH ON DEADLINE The deal was made by
Studiocanal’s UK head of home entertainment and library John Rodden and film consultant Nick Varley on behalf of Romulus Films. 2 Comments JavaScript is required to load the comments.
