AGC Studios has closed several multi-million dollar territory sales for Neill Blomkamp‘s next sci-fi movie, _Inferno, _which is set to go into production this March in Albuquerque, New
Mexico. In _Inferno, _Taylor Kitsch plays a cop who is called to investigate a seemingly ordinary murder in the New Mexico desert. The arrival of the FBI confirms his suspicions that
something bigger – perhaps extraterrestrial – is at play. The hunt for the killer puts him face-to-face with a humanoid beast who will stop at nothing to exterminate the one witness to the
crime. Among the offshore sales for _Inferno _are France (Metropolitan), Germany & Switzerland (Leonine), Greece (Odeon), Portugal (NOS Lusomundo), Spain (Tripictures), UK (Entertainment
Film Distribution), Eastern Europe (Vertical Entertainment), Russia (Top Film), Latin America (Sun Distribution), Indonesia (PT Prima), Korea (Joy N Content), Phillipines (Pioneer),
Singapore (Clover), Taiwan (Movie Cloud), Thailand (Sahamongkolfilm), Vietnam (Noori Pictures), Israel (United King), Middle East (Selim Ramia) and Turkey (BG F). Talks are ongoing for other
markets. Production is due to get underway in early 2020. CAA Media Finance also brokered the AGC financing deal and is co-repping domestic and Chinese rights. _Inferno _is currently
casting. Blomkamp’s 2013 sci-fi film _Elysium _remains his highest-grossing at the global B.O. with $286m followed by _District 9 _which made $211M. WATCH ON DEADLINE AGC Studios had the No.
