US deal for Jagger film
by Hugh Davies

MICK JAGGER has finally found an American distributor for his first film production, three months after its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.

Enigma is a £25 million romantic thriller about Second World War British code-breakers. While Miramax - riding high in Hollywood with America's two top hits, Bridget Jones's Diary and Spy Kids - has been given the UK rights, an "upstart" film company, Manhattan Pictures International, is paying £1.75 million for the US rights.
