Mipcom 2015 kicked-off with a sneak peak preview episode of Sony Pictures Television’s ‘The Art of More’ starring Dennis Quaid, Christian Cooke, Kate Bosworth and Cary Elwes.
This new series will unveil the truth behind how the world of auctions work. Samuel Brukner (Dennis Quaid) is the man with the money and has the thirst to collect the most exquisite arts from around the globe. While Graham Connor (Christian Cooke) is the man who wants to make it big in life and has to win the trust of Brukner to get there.
The preview at Mipcom was followed by a discussion by the cast along with Keith Le Goy, president, international distribution, Sony Pictures Television and Eric Berger, EVP, Digital Networks and GM, Crackle, Sony Pictures Television.
“The story was the biggest hero for me and the way my character has been written is simply amazing, I couldn’t say no,” said Dennis Quaid on signing on.
The first episode, which was screened at Cannes tonight, was well received by the audience in attendance.
The stellar cast, crisp editing, gripping storytelling and a plot that keeps thickening as the show proceeds is everything that works in the favour of this series, which is set to premiere on various networks globally mid November this year.
Speaking exclusively to AnimationXpress.com, Sony Pictures Television chairman Steve Mosko said: “This is just the beginning there are very big plans going ahead and we are very confident that our future slate of shows are going to be loved by one and all around the world.”
Mosko also revealed that he would be coming down to India soon to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Sony Networks in the country and possibly even make a few big announcements around that time.
The show makers are confident that the series will be a certain hit and has major plans in rolling out more seasons based on the response it receives in its first season. The Art of More is most certainly to feature on Colors Infinty back home, so wait for the auction to begin!
