In the year 1992, a notable individual by the name of Mr. Jobin embarked on a creative endeavour by establishing the production company Europa Production Investment Corporation. This endeavour marked the beginning of a new chapter in Mr. Jobin's career, as he ventured into the world of film production. The company's first major project was the acquisition of the movie rights to the iconic comic book character, Vampirella.
With the movie rights in hand, Mr. Jobin set his sights on bringing the character to life on the big screen. He took it upon himself to write the first draft screenplay, pouring his heart and soul into the project. The script was a culmination of his passion for the character and his vision for the film.
As the project began to take shape, Mr. Jobin turned his attention to securing financing for the film. This involved presenting promotional and investment packaging to potential investors and partners. The packaging was designed to showcase the potential of the film and entice investors to join the project.
To further promote the film, Mr. Jobin commissioned graphic artist William (Bill) Rankine to create promotional artwork. The artwork was a stunning representation of the character and helped to generate buzz around the film.
The promotional and investment packaging was presented at the prestigious May 1993 Cannes Film Festival at the American Pavilion. The event provided a platform for Mr. Jobin to showcase his project to a global audience of film industry professionals. The packaging was also featured in the May 18, 1993 Hollywood Reporter Cannes '93 Daily Satellite Edition - Day 5, further increasing its visibility.
Despite the efforts of Mr. Jobin and his team, financing for the film was never fully secured. As a result, the film rights to Vampirella lapsed, bringing an end to the project. Although the film was never made, Mr. Jobin's vision for the character and his determination to bring it to life on the big screen will always be remembered.
