DocM Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 http://m.superherohype.com/news/articles/176839-virgin-signs-deal-with-overbrook-to-option-after-earth-sequel Virgin Produced and Overbrook Entertainment have signed a deal which opens up the door for a sequel to After Earth. Here's the full announcement:Virgin Produced, the film and television arm of the Virgin Group, has teamed up with Overbrook Entertainment on a non-exclusive pact, which will support the After Earth franchise, starting with the upcoming May 31st release, it was announced today by Jason Felts, CEO of Virgin Produced, and James Lassiter of Overbrook Entertainment. This pact allows Virgin Produced the option to co-produce, co-finance and co-market a sequel to After Earth. The two companies will look to develop film and television properties together, in which Virgin Produced would co-produce and market across its expansive global platforms. The pact marks a natural relationship for both Virgin Produced and Overbrook as it reinforces both companies' missions: to find projects that entertain as well as educate, with ideas that leap off the entertainment page and into the national conversation. As Overbrook's After Earth shares many of the themes that Virgin is committed to: it focuses on the future that awaits the human race if it continues on its destructive environmental path and raises important questions about the present state of the planet, the future, and the environment. > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V-Tech Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 That looks weird actually. First the movie is not out yet, how do they know that it will be good?! Second, Will Smith has something like 6-7 open projects for the next couple of years. He is a busy guy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
