EXCLUSIVE: Below its first-look cope with Amazon MGM Studios, Premeditated Productions has launched growth on Protect of Sparrows, a characteristic adaptation of the forthcoming romantasy novel by Devney Perry.
Derek Kolstad, architect of the motion franchises John Wick and No person, is about to pen the script. Liz Pelletier, Writer and CEO of Entangled Publishing, and Sherryl Clark, former President of Dangerous Robotic (Cloverfield, The Gorge), are hooked up to supply below their newly launched Premeditated banner, with DOD Cayla Tyne overseeing growth. Perry and Kolstad will exec produce.
Slated for launch below Entangled Publishing’s Crimson Tower imprint on Might 6, Protect of Sparrows is described as a slow-burn, high-stakes romantasy, the place enemies turn out to be lovers, monsters stalk a cursed realm, and a forgotten princess finds the power to tear off her crown and turn out to be the warrior she was by no means meant to be.
Early momentum across the guide has been explosive. It launches with a six-figure preliminary print run and plentiful five-star opinions from early readers — mirroring the breakout trajectory of Crimson Tower’s international bestsellers Fourth Wing, which is being developed for TV at Amazon, and Iron Flame. Like these titles, Protect of Sparrows is poised to debut on the best-sellers record. The Amazon deal marks one other high-stakes win for Crimson Tower Books and Premeditated, whose work continues to display the demand for contemporary fantasy IP on the web page and display.
Together with his work on John Wick, a franchise to this point allotting 4 movies, a female-driven spin-off and a restricted sequence, Kolstad has constructed a world that continues to increase. The sequence is a seamless precedence for Lionsgate, which releases spin-off Ballerina on June 6, on the heels of movies which have grossed over $1B in whole. New installments in growth embrace a fifth chapter in the primary sequence, an animated prequel, and a spin-off targeted on Donnie Yen’s blind murderer, Caine.
Bob Odenkirk is again for No person 2 — the sequel to the hit pandemic-era motion thriller penned by Kolstad and launched by Common — on August 15. Additionally recognized for initiatives like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Die Hart, Kolstad is repped by UTA, Circle Administration, and Jennifer Levy at Behr Abramson Levy Johnson LLP.
A Wall Avenue Journal, USA Right this moment and #1 Amazon bestselling writer, Perry’s six-book romance sequence The Edens, set in her residence state of Montana, is in TV growth at CBS Studios. She is repped by IAG and The Seymour Company.
Entangled and Premeditated are represented by IAG and Caitlin Dimotta of TroyGould, and Premeditated brokered the deal.
