Danny Boyle’s “Slumdog,” a project based on the novel “Q&A,” which was originally optioned and developed by Film4 and subsequently co-financed with Celador. (When Warners decided not to release the film stateside following the shuttering of Warner Independent, Fox Searchlight stepped up and became its U.S. distributor.)

Boyle’s film accounted for 10 of Film4’s 12 Oscar noms, including best film and best director. “Slumdog” this month collected four Golden Globes, including best drama; reached No. 1 at the U.K. boxoffice; and garnered 20 noms for the Orange British Academy Film Awards. Additionally, the British outfit has a stake in two of the original screenplay nominations — Mike Leigh’s “Happy-Go-Lucky” and Martin McDonagh’s “In Bruges.”
