French Directorial Collective UFO Signs onto Stardust Roster for Exclusive North American Representation

NY - Bi-coastal production company Stardust has added Gallic directorial collective UFO to its roster for exclusive North American representation in commercials, music videos and network packaging. UFO joins a Stardust roster that includes directors Jake Banks, Brad Tucker, Alan Bibby and Neil Tsai.

Said Guillaume Marien, executive producer and founder of Mathematic and sister company UFO, “We’ve always admired the work coming out of Stardust, but so much of this partnership boils down to good chemistry. Stardust feels like home for us. Jake and his teams in New York and Los Angeles are fun-loving, hard-working, wildly creative, well-connected and do fantastic work. We’re very excited about this partnership.”

Your Highness, opening in the US on 8th April 2011 and in the UK on 15th April 2011, marks the debut of a new cinematic sub-genre: the medieval stoner comedy. Directed by David Gordon Green, and written by and starring Danny McBride (who’d previously worked with Green on Pineapple Express), the film is an affectionate, if utterly filthy, tribute to the fantasy films its creators grew up on (Beastmaster, Willow, Krull et al). Starring McBride, James Franco and Natalie Portman, Your Highness was produced by Scott Stuber for Stuber Productions. Digital Visual Effects were created entirely by Framestore.
