Sony Pictures Television has secured a pilot order from CTC for a Russian adaptation of Roseanne called Katya. This is the first adaptation of the comedy, which focused on a working class family and their trials and tribulations. In other SPT news, the company has sold original drama series The Player, about a former FBI agent who becomes a reluctant player in a secret society’s perverse game of chance — that includes criminal acts and costs human lives — to 105 territories, including Western and Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. SPT recently also announced several appointments within its international distribution teams: Mike Wald, evp, International Distribution, will return from London to Los Angeles to oversee the international distribution and strategic management of SPE feature films and TV series and head up SPT’s distribution across Asia-Pacific; Angel Orengo, evp, international distribution EMEA, will now be based in London to lead the SPT’s EMEA team; and Alexander Marin, evp, international distribution Latin America and the Caribbean, will now also oversee Canada.
