Screenwriter Matthew Michael Carnahan is making his directorial debut with “Mosul,” a film about a Swat team’s desperate fight to rid the Iraq city of Isis militants that shot in secret in Morocco last spring with a local cast.
“Mosul,” for which Carnahan wrote the screenplay, explores the true story of an elite police unit made up almost entirely of native sons of Mosul who fought to liberate the city from 6,000 Isis militants.
The film is based on a New Yorker story by Luke Mogelson, who embedded with the unit for two months and documented the team’s fight, block by block, to destroy Isis.
Produced by Agbo and Condé Nast Entertainment, the film was shot on location in Marrakech, Morocco this past spring. The film, shot by Academy Award-winning “Avatar” cinematographer Mauro Fiore, is now in postproduction in Los Angeles.
“Our writer/director Matthew Michael Carnahan was the perfect artist to depict this uniquely regional story which champions a culture that has never really been championed on screen before,” producers Joe and Anthony Russo said in a statement. “The heart of the movie depicts the innate desire to fight for country and home.”
The Russos said “Mosul” extends their commitment to producing auteur-driven films of social importance.
Anthony and Joe Russo serve as producers for the brothers’ Agbo production shingle, along with the company’s president of production Mike Larocca. Condé Nast Entertainment’s Jeremy Steckler will also produce, as well as Spotify’s Dawn Ostroff.

Executive producers for “Mosul” are Todd Makurath, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely for Agbo, along with Mohamed Al-Daradji (“Son of Babylon”), Patrick Newall (Anon) and Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei and Felice Bee from Huayi Brothers Media.
“Mosul” features a cast drawn from the Middle East, North Africa and the Iraqi diaspora. Producers described it as the flip side of “American Sniper”: these being the soldiers for whom the only way home was by fighting to re-claim it.
Worldwide sales will be represented by Endeavor Content at Afm.

LONDON -- U.K. indie Metrodome Distribution has ordered a double Chinese takeaway by snapping up all U.K. rights to a brace of titles from Chinese director Feng Xiaogang ("Big Shot's Funeral").

BUSAN, South Korea -- Hong Kong director Tsui Hark plans to start shooting a $20 million Tang Dynasty Chinese detective film next March, Beijing-based producer-distributors Huayi Bros. Pictures said at the Asian Film Market here Monday.

BEIJING -- Chinese director Feng Xiaogang's anti-war film "The Assembly" will open the 12th annual Pusan International Film Festival on Oct. 4, organizers and the film's producers, Huayi Brothers Pictures, said Wednesday.
Beijing-based Feng will make his first trip to Asia's largest film festival to present "Assembly", a co-production with South Korea's MK Pictures, along with the film's four largely unknown stars.
"We worked hard to get this film to open at Pusan and it's very important to us," Felice Bee, director of international sales and distribution for Beijing-based Huayi Brothers, said in an interview. "We are confident we will sell Korean rights at the festival."
Feng will be accompanied to the South Korean beach resort by one of the brothers who lead Huayi, either Wang Zhongjun or Wang Zhonglei, as well as cast members Zhang Hanyu, Deng Chao, Yuan Wenkang and Pang Yan.
The Korean crew that helped Feng shoot the film's war scenes last year in northeast China was the same crew that worked on MK's 2004 hit "Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War" by Kang Je-gyu.
