Nu Image/Millennium Films heads to next week's EFM in Berlin intent on drumming up international sales on the recently announced Conan The Barbarian, as well as the action thriller Direct Contact starring Dolph Lundgren.

The slate includes the crime thriller Righteous Kill starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino that Overture Films will release in North America later in the year.

Rounding out the key roster are the previously announced thriller The Code with Morgan Freeman and Antonio Banderas and action title Ninja, about a warrior who confronts a gang of assassin.

Conan The Barbarian is scheduled to go into production later this year and, with a price tag in the region of $100m, will be Nu Image/Millennium's biggest commitment yet as sole financiers. Lionsgate holds North American rights.

Nu Image/Millennium Films principals Danny Dimbort and Avi Lerner will attend EFM with newly promoted president of international sales Christian Mercuri and vice president of international marketing and sales Inc Pagliuca.

'We are quite pleased to return to the EFM,' Dimbort said. 'We have many good films to offer. Berlin has always been a good market for us and our buyers too.'
