AGC Studios and CAA Media Finance have come on board to finance the prison-set thriller 'Panopticon,' which Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions will produce and 'Narcos' director Andrés Baiz will helm. Details:

Emily Jerome's Black List script follows Chase, an ambitious and rising hedge fund manager who decides to go all in on an investment in PCC Correctional, an Arizona based private prison system that is racking up huge profits.

"We’re excited to be putting the project together with her and our friends at Scott Free."and will introduce the project to buyers at next month's virtual Cannes film market. CAA Media Finance will handle the domestic sale. CAA and AGC will co-represent Chinese distribution rights.
