Studio Galazio and filmmaker Christopher André Marks (“King Otto”) have announced the launch of a new production banner focused on bringing internationally minded stories with Greek themes to global audiences.
The label’s first film will be an “Ocean’s Eleven”-style heist comedy set in Greece, with two-time NBA Mvp Giannis Antetokounmpo on board to produce his first scripted feature film. Plot details and international cast are being kept under wraps, but production is slated to begin this year.
The untitled film will be written and directed by Marks alongside a team of veteran international producers including Shani Hinton (“The Stones and Brian Jones”), Raphaël Benoliel (“Emily in Paris”), Adam B. Stern (“Blue Jasmine”) and Erika Aronson (“Blue Jasmine”).
Galazio’s initial slate also includes a prestige limited drama series and an untitled biopic on an influential Greek figure, all currently in development with high-profile talent attached.

Piece of Magic Entertainment, the distributor behind recent docs “Apollo 11” and “Marianne and Leonard: Words of Love,” has picked up international theatrical distribution rights for the underdog sports tale “King Otto.”
The doc follows the improbable path of the 2004 Greek National Soccer team, which went from never winning a single tournament match to claiming victory at that year’s European Championship. Leading the team was German coach “King” Otto Rehhagel, a veteran of the game who decided to take on his greatest challenge by guiding a team with 300:1 odds against them all the way to the top.
