Reinvent Yellow sells AFM action thriller ‘Nation’s Gambit’, ‘Zip Wire’

Copenhagen-based Reinvent Yellow Sales has scored a number of international deals on its AFM line-up, including action thrillers Nation’s Gambit and Zip Wire

John Andreas Andersen’s Nation’s Gambit has sold to Mediaset for Spain and Italy. It follows a special forces team in a race- against-the-clock game of chess against a group of terrorists who have kidnapped the Norwegian prime minister.

Reinvent Yellow Sales has also sold Zip Wire to Blue Swan for Italy. The thriller by writer-director duo Tom Boyle and Howard J. Ford is about a dedicated researcher at a high-security pharmaceutical company thrust into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse in the mountains, with no escape except across a treacherous zip wire.

The company has also sold Norwegian director Erik Poppe’s relationship drama Beloved to Scanorama for the Baltics.
