Two weeks ago, acclaimed directors Paul Wilmshurst and Andreas Heckmann joined the production of the Spanish Inquisition epic 'Korsan'. Wilmshurst, known for directing 'Day of the Jackal', and Heckmann, the creator of 'Barbarians', are set to bring their expertise to this historical drama.
In a separate development, Mediawan Kids & Family world-premiered its new anime series 'Ki & Hi in the Panda Kingdom' at MipJunior in Cannes, earning warm applause from industry attendees. Adapted from a best-selling French manga, the 52-episode series follows the adventures of 10-year-old Ki and his 6-year-old brother Hi as they navigate the whimsical Panda Kingdom. The show's blend of realism and imagination reflects a broader trend in the industry, as the European Anime movement gains momentum, combining the dynamic visual style of Japanese originals with storytelling tailored to Western audiences.
