NOVEMBER 5 UPDATE: Seville International has licensed UK rights on its zombie apocalypse horror comedy Zoo at AFM to Signature Entertainment and closed a slew of territory deals.

Zoo received its world premiere at 2018 Sitges Fantastic Film Festival. Zoë Tapper, Edward Speleers, Antonia Campbell-Hughes, and Jan Bijvoet star in the story about a married couple struggling to conceive who rekindle their love after they take refuge in their apartment during a pandemic.
Alexander Brøndsted produced through his PingPong Film and worked with Tublén on his 2009 Tribeca selection Original. Logical Pictures, the financier of elevated genre that recently backed Farming, co-produced with Film i Skåne and Ystad-Österlen Filmfond.

“We love Tublén’s dry sense of humour and are delighted with how well received Zoo has been,” said Seville International senior vice-president of sales Anick Poirer. “It puts a fresh spin on the comedy genre, taking marriage troubles to another dystopian level.”
