UK Indie Film ‘Tramp' Secures Theatrical Deal With China Film Group — Cannes Market
EXCLUSIVE: UK independent film Tramp has secured a theatrical distribution deal with China Film Group. The film is set for theatrical release in China towards the end of this year or early-2026, with production company EMC Productions adding that they are also exploring opportunities for the film to be available on Chinese streaming platforms. More from Deadline 'Narnia's Short Theatrical-To-Netflix Window Won't Cannibalize Imax B.O. Says CEO Rich Gelfond Martin Freeman & Olga Kurylenko To Star In Thriller 'Let God Sort It Out' For Newly Launched Cobalt Sky Motion Picture Group & Raised By Wolves - Cannes Market Adriatic Film & TV Awards To Launch In Montenegro In October Tramp is a sports drama that explores the worlds of mixed marital arts (MMA) and motherhood. Loosely inspired by real athletes, the film follows a British-Polish fighter whose meteoric rise is derailed by an unexpected pregnancy. Produced by London-based EMC Productions, the film stars Izabella Malewska (Cold Feet, Holby City) and Alessandro Babalola (Top Boy, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare), and is shot by Tristan Chenais (Rogue Agent, Dust to Dreams). Tramp is the debut feature from Philip James McGoldrick. Earlier this year, EMC Productions brought in Chinese producer Jiawei Li, who also runs Green Brick, an initiative that aims to foster cross-cultural collaboration between the UK and Chinese film industries, focusing on international film projects, commercials and music videos. 'We'd like to underline how unusual Tramp's position is in today's landscape' said McGoldrick. 'Some high-level sales directors were convinced we wouldn't get this far — let alone secure international distribution. When was the last time a wholly British film, with no U.S. studio backing, achieved this kind of reach? It's a rare moment, and we're incredibly proud of it.' McGoldrick added: 'We're pleased to bring our debut feature to China through our partnership with Green Brick, led by our associate producer Jiawei Li. Green Brick was founded to strengthen cultural ties between the UK and China, and we're proud to be collaborating with them. The film embodies so much of what makes British culture unique, so we're excited to share that with Chinese audiences. The release will be handled by China Film Group, the country's largest and most established distributor- giving Tramp a unique opportunity to access China's multi-billion-dollar theatrical market with the support of trusted local partners.' Li said: 'I deeply appreciate the Tramp film project and am honored to be part of it. I will be leading efforts to distribute Tramp in the Chinese market through my collaboration with China Film Group, while also exploring opportunities for the film to be available on major Chinese streaming platforms.' Marina Elderton, producer and co-founder of EMC Productions, added: 'Tramp offers an unvarnished look at life behind the spectacle of MMA — it's about the personal struggles, resilience, and reinvention that shape a fighter's journey, and in many ways, all of ours. With the film now complete, we're following a carefully curated festival strategy, targeting platforms that align with its vision and champion the kind of character-driven storytelling at its core.'

Prince Andrew MUST ‘come clean and confess' to Virginia Guiffre's family after tragic death, demands lawyer
PRINCE Andrew must now come clean and apologise to Virginia Giuffre's family, a lawyer who represents Epstein victims said. Lisa Bloom said it was "absurd" the Duke of York claimed he had never met Virginia, who accused him of sexually abusing her when she was 17. 6 6 6 A now infamous photo taken in 2001 shows Andrew with his arm around Virginia, with Jeffrey Epstein 's warped madam Ghislaine Maxwell in the background. Andrew has previously claimed the picture is fake - and even went as far to claim he had never met Virginia. She accused the prince of sexually abusing her on three occasions, which he vehemently denies. He later settled a court case with her for a reported £12million. Lisa told The Sun: "It's always a good time to come clean, to confess to apologise to her family now. "I certainly hope Prince Andrew is not going to benefit from this tragedy. "I don't want to go as far and blame Andrew, but he is responsible for his part in her life. "He is clearly overreaching when he says he never met her. "He fought her and fought her, and eventually reached a settlement. I think that also speaks volumes. "Nobody would do that if they had not had some wrongdoing. Prince Andrew has 'no way back' into royal life after Virginia Giuffre's tragic death - despite 'deluded' comeback plans "Unfortunately with her gone now you could say, well, maybe it's too late. "But I'm sure her family and all the many sexual abuse victims who admired her and followed her would still appreciate it if he would come clean." Virginia claims she was trafficked to Andrew after becoming a victim of convicted paedophile Epstein and his enabler Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence. British socialite Maxwell was a close pal of Andrew and the two have known each other from their university days, and she later introduced him to Epstein. Virginia sued Andrew in 2021, claiming she was forced to have sex with the Duke on three occasions when she was a teen. She alleged was made to have sex with Andrew for the first time at Maxwell's house in London after a night out at the club Tramp. The mum also claimed she was forced to have sex with the Duke on at least two further occasions by Maxwell and Epstein. Who was Virginia Giuffre? VIRGINIA Roberts - later Virginia Giuffre, 41, was an American-Australian campaigner and a prominent victim of the sex trafficking ring of Jeffrey Epstein. She made claims against Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, as well as Brit socialite Ghislaine Maxwell - Jeffrey Epstein's ex-lover. Giuffre alleged in court documents that she was procured by Maxwell, 63, the daughter of disgraced tycoon Robert Maxwell, as a teenage 'sex slave' for Epstein. She released a manuscript just hours before Epstein's death, which added to more than 2,000 documents of a lawsuit pending against the former financier and his pals. The legal documents were released in a defamation case involving Giuffre, who has claimed in court documents that Prince Andrew slept with her three times. In 2019, Virginia Roberts claimed that she had sex with Prince Andrew in a toilet when she was 17, after a night where he had allegedly been plying her with vodka in a posh London club. On February 15, 2022, it was announced that Prince Andrew settled the lawsuit - sparing him a humiliating court battle. She died by suicide on April 25, 2025 at her home in Western Australia. But during his notorious car crash Newsnight interview, Andrew sensationally claimed he had never met Virginia. He also famously claimed during the 2019 chat that he was medically unable to perspire, a response to Ms Giuffre's account of an alleged sweaty dance in London. Three years later, Andrew paid millions to Virginia after she sued him - sparing him a humiliating court battle. Asked if we could ever see the royal brought to justice, Bloom said: "I don't think so. I think that time has passed - and that's unfortunate." The attorney praised Virginia's bravery over the years but told how many sexual abuse victims suffer in silence. "Virginia is like so many women I have represented over the years," Bloom said. 6 6 6 "What you see in public is one face, but in private there's so much pain. There is so often depression and suicidality. "A big part of what my team and I do as advocates for sexual assault victims is shoring them up, getting them a good therapist, trying to get them strong enough to come and testify. "Sexual assault is so devastating to the psyche. "I just wish she were still here. I wish I could give her a hug and tell her it's going to get better, that people love and admire her. "I will certainly never forget her. She was truly an inspirational young woman, so brave. And it's just heartbreaking." Virginia became known as one of the most outspoken of Epstein's victims American-born Virginia became an advocate for sex trafficking survivors after emerging as a central figure in the prolonged downfall of paedophile Epstein. 'No way back' for Andrew Exclusive by Matt Wilkinson and Ryan Parry PRINCE Andrew's 'delusional' comeback dreams are over after the death of his sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre, insiders say. He remained silent on her suicide as a source said: 'The door to a return is firmly closed.' Just weeks before her death, sources close to the Duke claimed the King's brother was 'completely unsurprised' that an Instagram message saying that Virginia had four days to live after a road crash 'turned out to be a fabrication'. She said she was admitted to hospital after her car was hit by a bus. But police in Australia said they only had reports of a 'minor crash' with no injuries sustained. Other friends had suggested her admission in November 2022 that she 'may have made a mistake' in alleging that paedophile US tycoon Jeffrey Epstein had trafficked her to lawyer Alan Dershowitz could have offered a way out for Andy. One insider told The Sun yesterday: 'Any notion that the message or her bus crash story could somehow make her an unreliable witness has now disappeared. The door is firmly closed on any return.' There are now calls for him to 'honour' his words when he paid millions to Virginia in 2022 and 'pledged to demonstrate his regret for his association with Epstein by supporting the fight against the evils of sex trafficking and by supporting its victims'. Andy's office and Buckingham Palace both released public statements during the Duke's highly-damaging China spy drama after court documents revealed his links to alleged spook Chris Yang. But they have been silent since Virginia took her own life. But royal sources insist that he will never return to be a working royal after he was stripped of his titles and roles by the late Queen Elizabeth due to the allegations and links to the late Epstein. One insider said: 'Andrew does deep down harbour hopes that he can make a comeback — but they are delusional hopes.' She came forward publicly after the initial investigation ended in an 18-month Florida jail term for Epstein, who made a secret deal and was released in 2009. In subsequent lawsuits, Virginia said she was a spa attendant as a teen at Mar-a-Lago - US President Donald Trump's Palm Beach club - when she was approached in 2000 by Maxwell. She was hired as a masseuse for Epstein and was flown around the world for meetings with men at his behest while she was 17 and 18. Bloom said: "Virginia was not only a very brave advocate for herself, which is hard enough standing up against what she went through, but for all sexual assault victims. "She spoke out again and again, she was really a leader in the community. "She was incredibly brave. It is just devastating news. "Many of my clients in high profile sexual assault cases, whether it was against Jeffrey Epstein or any other high profile person, really admired her. "[They were] inspired by her courage. Her social media posts were very moving and empowering to a lot of people." You're Not Alone EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide It doesn't discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers. It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes. And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women. Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now. That is why The Sun launched the You're Not Alone campaign. The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.

Prince Andrew bid to rejoin royals would have been ‘upsetting' for Virginia before death, says Epstein victims' lawyer
VIRGINIA Giuffre would have been "very upset" by Prince Andrew's bid to rejoin the royal fold, a lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein's victims has said. Days before Virginia, 41, was found dead, the Duke of York was seen joining the King at Windsor Castle for a service on Easter Sunday. 6 6 6 It was his first public appearance in a year, and it could have been "upsetting" for Virginia - who accused Andrew, 65, of sexually abusing her when she was 17. Lisa Bloom, who represents eight of vile Epstein 's victims, told The Sun: "It's always triggering for my clients to see pictures of somebody they say abused them, especially just out living a good life. "It's very upsetting. I generally tell my clients don't follow him. Don't follow the news about him. "But when it's a high profile person, that's very difficult because the news sometimes finds you, even if you're not looking for it. "So it very possibly could have triggered her. We may not ever know unless she told somebody or had a journal. "We just may not know, but I'm sure it was upsetting to her if she saw it." Mum-of-three Virginia was found dead was found dead at her remote farm home in Neergabby, Western Australia, on the night of April 25. Her family said she took her own life as they hailed her as a "fierce warrior". They added: "She was heroic and will always be remembered for her incredible courage and loving spirit. "In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight. We know that she is with the angels." Prince Andrew has 'no way back' into royal life after Virginia Giuffre's tragic death - despite 'deluded' comeback plans Five days before her death, Andrew appeared jovial and confident at an Easter Sunday service, joining the King and Queen for photos. But the reclusive prince missed his regular Saturday morning horse-ride on the Windsor estate as Virginia's sudden death was announced. Virginia was a victim of convicted paedophile Epstein and his enabler Ghislaine Maxwell - and claims she was trafficked to Andrew. She sued Andrew in 2021, claiming she was forced to have sex with the Duke on three occasions when she was a teen. Virginia alleged was made to have sex with Andrew for the first time at Maxwell's house in London after a night out at the club Tramp.

In 2022, he paid millions in an out of court settlement to Virginia - without any admission of guilt. The King's brother released a statement saying he "regrets his association with Epstein" and "commends the bravery of Ms Giuffre and other survivors". Andrew, however, still dodges calls to tell the FBI what he knows about Epstein, who died in prison while awaiting trial in 2019. Bloom has now warned that Virginia's death could lead to more heartbreak for other victims. The top attorney said sexual abuse victims often suffer from low self-esteem for life - which some never get over. She said: "Sexual abuse and sex trafficking victims have very high rates of suicide, and many of my clients have talked to me about it. "I have lost a client to suicide. "I don't know what it is about sexual abuse that makes women victims feel like they're not worthy of living, their self esteem is just destroyed. "Even someone like Virginia, who was very loved in the sexual assault community... that she would feel so low that she took her own life. Sadly very, very common." 6 6 6 Lisa insisted "there is still a lot of work to do" to protect sexual abuse victims. She added: "I hope everybody knows that it does get better, that life has highs and lows, and if you can get past the lows, it usually will improve and get better. "And remember the people who love you, and who care about you, your family, your friends, and I always tell my client don't let him win. "Living a good life is your best revenge. Living a good, happy life that you deserve is the best thing you can do to overcome, but not everybody can." Virginia's death came weeks after she was treated in an Australian hospital following a bus crash. She sparked alarm last month after posting a bruised snap from her hospital bed, claiming she had just 'four days to live'. But the story took a twist when Western Australian Police described the crash as minor and said no major injuries were reported. She later claimed the incident was blown out of proportion due to a misunderstanding. Her father Sky Roberts clarified: 'Doctors told Virginia she would have died within four days had she not received medical treatment.' Who was Virginia Giuffre? VIRGINIA Roberts - later Virginia Giuffre, 41, was an American-Australian campaigner and a prominent victim of the sex trafficking ring of Jeffrey Epstein.

Prince Andrew seen for first time since accuser Virginia Giuffre's suicide as he takes drive with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson
PRINCE Andrew has been spotted for the first time since the death of Virginia Giuffre. The Duke of York was seen leaving Royal Lodge in his Range Rover Defender with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson in the passenger seat. 8 8 The appearance comes just a day after Virginia Giuffre, who was sex trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein as a teenager, died by suicide at her home in Western Australia on Friday night. She had spent years speaking out of her abuse at the hands of convicted sex offenders Epstein and his ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell. Cops confirmed her death was being investigated but was considered "not suspicious". Virginia told how she was "ready to go" just weeks before her death when she posted a bruised snap from her hospital bed, claiming she had just 'four days to live'. Her caption read: "I'm ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time. My heart is shattered and every day that passes my sadness only deepens." The bus accident story took a twist when cops described the crash as minor and said no major injuries were reported. Parents of children on the bus also spoke out - reportedly disputing the severity of the incident. The late mum and activist was reportedly fearful that her enemies were attempting to ruin her reputation in the months before she died. A friend told Mail Online:"Being discredited was one of the many things distressing her in recent months." Virginia was apparently "deeply upset" about being mocked over the bruised image she posted of herself in a hospital bed. Announcing Virginia's tragic death on Saturday, her family said the toll of her abuse was "so heavy" it became "unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight". They said in a statement: "It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia. "She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking." They added: "Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was the light that lifted so many survivors. 8 8 8 "In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight." Virginia alleged Epstein and Maxwell trafficked her to the Duke of York when she was 17 - a claim Andrew has denied. The mum, who leaves behind three children, sued Andrew in 2021, claiming she was trafficked and forced to have sex with the Duke on three occasions when she was a teen. It was the first time she had brought action against him after going public with the allegations in 2011. She claimed she was trafficked and forced to have sex with the Andrew for the first time at Maxwell's house in London after a night out at the club Tramp. Virginia also claimed she was forced to have sex with the Duke on at least two further occasions by Maxwell and Epstein. Her legal team argued she was a "frightened, vulnerable child with no one there to protect her" when she was allegedly abused by Andrew, saying "no person, whether President or Prince, is above the law". She claimed she feared for her life when she was allegedly forced to have sex with Andrew, who is accused of having been aware of her age and status as a "sex-trafficking victim". The Duke has ignored repeated calls to tell US authorities what he knows about paedo Epstein's criminal behaviour. In his notorious Newsnight interview five years ago, Andrew vowed to help the probe into Epstein and his warped madam Maxwell. But the royal has remained silent - and claimed he knew nothing of Epstein's vile crimes despite their friendship. Andrew has denied any wrongdoing and has denied allegations made against him. Virginia's legal battle with Andrew was settled for an estimated £12million. Who was Virginia Giuffre? VIRGINIA Roberts - later Virginia Giuffre, 41, was an American-Australian campaigner and a prominent victim of the sex trafficking ring of Jeffrey Epstein. She made claims against Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, as well as Brit socialite Ghislaine Maxwell - Jeffrey Epstein's ex-lover.
