Access Entertainment, Danny's bit of Len Blavatnik's empire, is taking a 24.9% share in film and tv production company Bad Wolf, run by Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner. The company is based in South Wales and Los Angeles, and its current pipeline includes His Dark Materials, for BBC1; A Discovery of Witches, as yet unplaced; and The Warlord Chronicles, with HBO.
