Diogenes Catalog to Become Blockbuster Films & Series
13 May
Summary
- Martin Moszkowicz and Philipp Keel are adapting Diogenes' literary catalog.
- Diogenes has published over 8,000 titles by more than 800 authors.
- The partnership aims for active roles in shaping film and TV properties.
German producer Martin Moszkowicz has joined forces with Philipp Keel, owner of the prominent Diogenes publishing house, to adapt the company's vast literary catalog into film and television productions. Diogenes, founded in 1952, has published over 8,000 titles by more than 800 authors, including acclaimed writers like Patricia Highsmith and Patrick Süskind.
Moszkowicz highlighted the value of authentic authorial voices in today's content landscape, noting Diogenes' deep reserve of such material. The partnership aims to move beyond traditional licensing, taking a hands-on approach to developing properties and engaging with established reader communities to ensure quality adaptations that respect the original writers' visions.
Diogenes Entertainment, founded by Keel in 2016, has already been involved in successful adaptations, including the Netflix series 'Ripley.' This new venture seeks to elevate these efforts by combining Keel's filmmaking experience with Moszkowicz's producing expertise, focusing on the growing demand for high-quality, unique content in the entertainment industry.
