Stolen Picture is the U.K.-based production banner launched by Simon Pegg and his long-term collaborator Nick Frost in May this year. The banner has found itself a major backer.
Sony Corp.'s Sony Pictures Television said Wednesday that it has taken a minority stake in the company. Sony has also signed an exclusive TV distribution deal. Financial details weren't disclosed.
In addition, Stolen Picture has named Miles Ketley as CEO. Ketle is a former Fox Searchlight executive. She was previously COO at indie production company Bad Wolf.
