Pitch Smarter. Cynopsis: International 05/13/08 Good morning. It's Tuesday, May 13, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: NBC Universal is reportedly in the first round of talks to make a bid on the U.K.'s indie All3Media to the tune of quite a few hundred million dollars. According to the U.K.'s Daily Telegraph, hints were dropped about NBC's searching for a bigger presence in the U.K. and Germany, two countries in which All3Media has production companies, in addition to a possible NBC request for All3Media financial info. All3Media's units include Germany's MME Moviement and other studios in the U.S., the U.K. and New Zealand. It was bought 2 years ago by Permira for $627 million. On the same token, NBC has also been flirting with the idea of acquiring the U.K.'s Baby Cow or Carnival. Taffy Entertainment picked up a purchase from Televisa for the free TV rights in Mexico to kids' animated series Growing Up Creepie (52x11-minutes) and superhero series The Fantastic Four (26x26-minutes). The deal was signed in partnership with Taffy's Latin America agent, Hola Entertainment. Among the many changes made by the BBC to terms offered to U.K. film producers are several that affect television components. PACT and the BBC have agreed on a number of changes. The BBC's broadcast license in the U.K. will be for a maximum of 15 years. After 5 years, if the BBC has no further plans to transmit then either the BBC or the producer may look to exploit those rights elsewhere in the U.K., sharing profits 70/30 if the BBC is unrecouped, 50/50 if the BBC's equity has been repaid. The BBC is also dropping several of its standard requirements around development, in particular the charge of a 50% premium on development costs incurred to date if the project is turned down by the BBC and picked up by another financier. The requirements for trust accounts at development stage will also be abolished. Canada's Nelvana Enterprises inked more post-MIPTV sales for several 26-episode series. The Future is Wild went to RTL2 in Germany, Luk International in Spain and Portugal, RTBF in Belgium, YLE2 in Scandinavia and Animal Planet in Latin America while Willa's Wild Life will travel to Discovery Kids in Latin America. The other two rounding out the deals were two Italian agreements with Pearlie going to Mediaset and Z-Squad to De Agostini. Incendo Media and GRB Entertainment are continuing their distribution agreement for another long stretch after working together for the past 10 years. The rights to GRB programming in Canada are used through Fox / Incendo Television, Incendo's television distribution co-venture with 20th Century Fox. HISPANIC MARKET: Following up on the news of its recent content deal with Mexico's Televisa, Telemundo Communications Group unveiled its 2008-2009 original programming for both Telemundo and mun2 yesterday. The company pointed out its digital media component's expansion to include more user-generated content and experiences connected to original programming, custom broadband studio growth and a relaunch of www.HolaMun2.com . Another announcement at the event ... Telemundo inked an agreement with TV Globo to co-produce the telenovela El Clon for the U.S. Hispanic market in Spanish. It will be produced by Telemundo Studios in Colombia with TV Globo providing the original format and its creative and production team from the original novella. Telemundo retains the exclusive broadcast rights for the U.S. and Puerto Rico. A new initiative has been launched as well in partnership with MANA and Hollywood, Health and Society. Mujer de Hoy ... Hazte Valer is a multiplatform pro-social campaign focusing on issues that affect young Latinas. New 2008/2009 Programming on Telemundo Monday-Friday Primetime Novelas:
