El derecho de tanteo It is a clause commonly used in rental contracts. If the owner of a property that is rented wants to sell it to a third party, and the right of first refusal was signed in the rental contract, the person who has rented it can keep the property if it matches the price of the offer of the new buyer.
In the world of football, the right of first refusal of its players between clubs is also common. What I did not know is that there are also these types of agreements in the universe of television. Apple e Idris Elba they just signed one. What a fabric.
It appears that Idris Elba has signed a preferential option agreement with Apple. This means that the Cupertino company has the right of first purchase for all the projects that Elba and its production company will sign. Green Door Pictures.
Apple has bought the first refusal rights to any new Elba creation, according to publishes Hollywood Reporter. However, this does not mean that Apple is owner automatically from whatever show this company wants to create.
What they have agreed is that Green Door Pictures must offer Apple TV + the opportunity to buy the rights to new projects before trying to make deals with any rival, such as Netflix or Amazon, and at the same price, Apple takes precedence.
Elba's production company was founded in 2013 with the aim of defending the diversity of thought. "We work with emerging and established talent to produce innovative, entertaining and stimulating content while attracting a wide audience" is the motto of Green Door Pictures
The production company has already created a series of programs, such as "Turn Up Charlie" for Netflix, or "In The Long Run" for Sky one in the United Kingdom. So it is possible that Elba will start some new project for Apple TV + soon.
