Rossi
Mori
Paramount Worldwide Acquisitions Group has tapped former New Line exec Alexandra Rossi as its London-based group VP and Televisa’s Mineko Mori as its Mexico-based group director.
Rossi previously spent 10 years as VP of European acquisitions and production for New Line before it was shuttered last year by Warner Bros.
She will be responsible for securing acquisitions for distribution as well as exploring local European co-productions.
Par created its worldwide group in July as a centralized acquisitions and local productions arm to service Paramount Pictures Intl. and Vantage.
The group will be responsible for acquiring films as well as seeking out co-production opportunities and local production projects in territories where PPI already has direct distribution networks, including the U.K., France, Spain, Australia, Japan and Latin America.
Mori was previously head of acquisitions and development at Televisa. She will now be responsible for acquisitions and local co-productions in the Latin American market.
