MILAN -- Los Angeles-based production and international sales company Dream Entertainment said Sunday that it has closed a slew of territories for its horror picture Monster Man in an early bout of MIFED dealmaking. The movie has been sold to Kinowelt in Germany, Gaga in Japan and Magna Pacific in Australia, with Les Films de l'Elysee picking up Benelux rights. Deals were also closed for Scandinavia (Scanbox) South Africa (Warner Newmetro), Mexico (Gussi), Greece (Village Roadshow), as well as Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and the Middle East. Directed by Michael Davis, Monster Man follows two university buddies on a cross-country drive with a sexy, mysterious hitch-hiker. Their trip takes a bad turn when a Big Black truck starts following them. The film stars Eric Jungmann, Justin Ulrich and Aimee Brooks. The movie has been selected for the Sitges Film Festival, which specializes in fantasy and horror and which unspools in Spain at the end of this month. The deals were announced by Dream's chairman and CEO Ehud Bleiberg and president Yitzhak Ginsberg. "These robust sales prove once again that in today's market -- both domestic and international -- a good horror film has legs," Bleiberg said. Dream Entertainment co-produced the movie with Lions Gate Films, which will distribute in North America. The film's producers are Bleiberg, Ginsberg and Larry Rattner.
