In a deal that alters the global visual effects and postproduction landscape, London headquartered Framestore — the visual effects house whose work onwon VFX Oscars — in partnership with Aleph Capital and Crestview Partners, announced the acquisition of postproduction banner Company 3, VFX business Method and their sister companies.

"Our vision for the future of our industry is storytelling across all the media of content delivery -- from mobile to IMAX; and headset to theme parks,” Sir William Sargent, co-founder and CEO of Framestore said in a statement. “Stories originated in one medium need to be able to travel across all of these and be adapted creatively and technically for each."

Company 3 and Method were Deluxe brands until last summer, when Deluxe Entertainment Services, sans its creative businesses, wereWonder Woman 1984, Zack Snyder's Justice LeagueTop Gun: Maverick.
