Pathé’s Aude Albano and Dimitri Rassam’s Chapter 2, a Mediawan company, are teaming up with Disney+ on the development of two returning series expanding on their “Three Musketeers” franchise.

The two production banners, together with Alexandre de la Patellière and Matthieu Delaporte’s Fargo Films, are in advanced development of both shows, “Milady Origins” and “Black Musketeer.”

These will be spin offs of Pathé and Chapter 2’s two-part adventure epic saga penned by de la Patellière and Delaporte, based on Alexandre Dumas’s masterpiece. The two films, “The Three Musketeers – D’Artagnan” and “The Three Musketeers – Milady,” shot entirely on location in France with a global budget of 80 million. Both movies were teased by Pathé with an impressive promo at Cannes. They’re slated for a release in theaters next year; the first part in April and the second in December.

Germany’s Maze Pictures has boarded Moscow-based Metrafilm’s Kgb comedy series “Pawns,” from writers Michael and Lily Idov, who penned the 2018 Cannes competition screener “Leto.”

The company, which has offices in Munich, Berlin and Lucerne, Switzerland, is also developing a miniseries based on “Ghosts of Berlin,” a book of supernatural stories by filmmaker Rudolf Herzog (son of Werner Herzog), and the tentatively titled mystery series “Parallels.”

On the film front, Maze Pictures is co-producing David Sandberg’s upcoming action-comedy “Kung Fury 2,” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Michael Fassbender. It also co-produced Abel Ferrara’s “Siberia,” headlining Willem Dafoe, which premiered at this year’s Berlin Film Festival.

The series has already secured development support from German regional funder Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg and the project is set to shoot primarily in Riga and to a lesser extent in Berlin and Moscow.

Rlje Films has revealed a trailer for The Owners. The studio picked up the rights to the upcoming thriller earlier this year, which is the feature directorial debut of Julius Berg. It sees Maisie Williams in one of her first major starring roles since Game of Thrones ended. It is competing with The New Mutants in that regard, with the X-Men spin-off currently set to arrive in August. Though there is a good chance it will be delayed yet again. Either way, as we can see from this trailer, Williams will be in for a bloody and brutal journey when this movie arrives.

The trailer kicks off with a group of young, small-time criminals scoping out a home, seemingly in the middle of nowhere in the country. They intend to surprise the owners of the house and force them to hand over a great sum of money. The unsuspecting elderly...
