Dario Argento’s films opened up for licensing deals

By John Freeman on August 18, 2021

Widely considered the master of Italian horror/slasher/mystery films, Dario Argento has a long list of films to his name including Suspiria, Deep Red, Inferno, Tenebre, Phenomena, The Bird With The Crystal Plumage, The Phantom Of The Opera, Sleepless, Trauma, and many more.

These films are now represented by British licensing agency Reemsborko worldwide and for all categories.

Already released is some street wear from Atom Age Industries, but perhaps the films are also well suited to adaptation into board games, for example?

“Reemsborko continues to sign the most interesting IP out there,” says Max Arguile of Reemsborko commented.

“Dario’s filmography speaks for itself. He has a large and devoted fanbase that are always keen for quality merchandise. We already some very cool products planned that will be 100 per cent fan-service. If this piques your interest please get in touch.”

Reemsborko was founded by Max Arguile in 2018, a boutique agency that brings a passion for pop culture backed by experience and strong relationships across the whole of the licensing industry, also representing brands such as Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Black Hammer and Dragonball.

From 1996 to 2018 Max negotiated and signed over 1000 contracts in the genres of music, film, TV, brands, art, photography, football, video games and animé, working as a licensee with all the major and most of the minor licensors and agents, for UK, European and global deals across a variety of products.

Reemsborko also offers a brokering service, to help clients secure those elusive licenses that might not seem like an obvious fit to others but that you know have value, if only you knew how to acquire them.
