The series boasts a high-profile cast including Wesley Snipes, Steve Guttenberg, Cuba Gooding Jr., Denise Richards and Kelsey Grammer, and centres around Laurence Fintch, played by Robert Davi (The Goonies, License To Kill, Die Hard), a financial wizard who becomes the world’s biggest crypto fraudster and brings forth global financial armageddon. Created, written and directed by Robert Gillings, Paper Empire is produced by Robert Gillings Productions, Tadross Media Group and Inner Circle Films.
The pilot of the independently produced series, filmed across multiple international locations, will be screened for the first time on Tuesday 25 February at 6.00 PM at the IET LONDON on Savoy Place with Gillings, lead Robert Davi and fellow cast member Carol Alt in attendance.
“Paper Empire is ambitious, independent, and its premise could not be timelier,” said Lucy Smith Director of MIP LONDON and MIPCOM CANNES. “It’s premiering at MIP LONDON further delivers on our promise of staging a strong inaugural programme during London’s biggest week of content.”
Robert Gillings said, “I am thrilled to be premiering Paper Empire’s pilot episode at the inaugural MIP LONDON, it will certainly be epic.”
Over 1700 delegates from more than 70 countries have now registered for MIP LONDON including over 800 buyers. The premiere forms part of a multi-genre conference programme at MIP LONDON aimed at delivering more people, business and opportunities across a key content week in the global TV industry calendar.
