Summary
- Stanley Tucci stars in 'Masterplan,' a heist comedy about stealing the Mona Lisa.
- Prime Video showcased international content, including manga and novel adaptations.
- Top international shows highlight the growing global appeal of non-English content.
Prime Video recently offered a comprehensive preview of its diverse international programming, broadcast live from London. The showcase featured anticipated releases such as a reboot of the iconic Japanese manga series "Fist Of The North Star" and "Masterplan," a French-Italian co-production starring Stanley Tucci as a father attempting to steal the Mona Lisa with his children. Tucci described the script as "incredibly funny and weird," calling the role an "actor's dream."
The streamer also highlighted the first U.S. adaptation of Mercedes Ron's novel "30 Sunsets para enamorarte." These projects are part of Prime Video's broader strategy to invest in local stories and talent for global audiences. Executives from various regions, including southern Europe, northern Europe, Latin America, India, and APAC, were present to discuss the expansive slate.
This global focus is significantly influenced by the popularity of Prime Video's Top 10 charts, which frequently feature non-English international originals. Shows like Mercedes Ron's "Culpa Nuestra" and German series "Maxton Hall" have achieved top positions, demonstrating a strong global viewership for content from different countries. Prime Video executives emphasized that international storytelling is thriving on their platform.
