Neon, Double Agent and Film4 are partnering to co-finance and exec produce 2073, a new documentary from Academy Award and BAFTA-winning director Asif Kapadia (Amy).<\/p>\n
2073 is billed as a genre-bending thriller set in a dystopian future, which will tackle some of the biggest challenges imperiling our future. The project is inspired by Chris Marker\u2019s iconic 1962 featurette La Jet\u00e9e \u2014 about a time traveler who risks his life to change the course of history and save the future of humanity \u2014 which previously served as the basis for Terry Gilliam\u2019s sci-fi pic 12 Monkeys, with Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt.<\/p>\n
Kapadia and George Chignell are producing. Davis Guggenheim, Nicole Stott and Jonathan Silberberg will exec produce on behalf of Concordia Studio, alongside Riz Ahmed\u2019s Left Handed Films.<\/p>\n
Said Kapadia: \u201cI want to make an epic about the state of the world, using elements of science fiction as a lens through which to examine the huge questions we are facing as a species, and hopefully find solutions, before it\u2019s too late.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe bet on filmmakers, and Asif is among the very best out there,\u201d remarked Double Agent President, Dana O\u2019Keefe. \u201cHis track record really speaks for itself as he consistently delivers unparalleled storytelling, so this is a truly formidable team between NEON, Film4, Concordia, and Left Handed. We are all proud to be joining forces on this innovative, bold and unconventional look at the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAsif is a consistently ground-breaking filmmaker who we\u2019ve been lucky enough to work with on a number of his previous films,\u201d added Film4 Director, Ollie Madden. \u201cThis new project, a documentary-style vision of the future, as terrifying as it is an urgent call to action, had us immediately hooked. We can\u2019t wait to see what Asif and his expert team create.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kapadia is a writer, director and producer best known for his acclaimed films Amy, Senna and Diego Maradona, which have premiered at the Cannes, Venice, Telluride and Sundance film festivals. The multi-hyphenate\u2019s debut fiction feature The Warrior, starring the late Irrfan Khan, won two BAFTA Film Awards. He most recently was the director and executive producer of the Apple TV+ series 1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything, and reunites on 2073 with his regular creative team, including editor Chris King and composer Antonio Pinto. Kapadia won his Oscar for the Amy Winehouse doc Amy in 2016 and has also been recognized over the course of his career with four BAFTAs, a Grammy and a European Film Award, among other accolades.<\/p>\n
Neon is a production and distribution company that in just five years, has garnered 18 Academy Award nominations and five wins, including Best Picture, seeing its films gross over $180M at the box office. The company recently acquired Laura Poitras\u2019 documentary All the Beauty and the Bloodshed, which won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, and Brett Morgen\u2019s genre-defying David Bowie pic, Moonage Daydream.
