Row between Irish TV producers and German film firm over Vikings spin-off funds may go to mediation, court hears

A dispute between a German film company and two well-known Irish film producers over claims that funds of between €40m and €50m were diverted out of a film production company to either themselves personally or corporate entities controlled by them may go to mediation.

The claim by Berlin-based W2 Filmproduktion Vertriebs GmbH is against producers Morgan O'Sullivan and James Flynn who, it is alleged, diverted the funds out of Octagon Films Ltd, a company they are all shareholders in. Both men deny the allegations.
