Lionsgate Bags Year's First Material Deal: 'After Shock' Set As Star Vehicle For Fast Rising '1923' Star Brandon Sklenar
At the center of all this is Brandon Sklenar, poised to headline movies after a breakout turn in It Ends With Us and the imminent second season of Taylor Sheridan’s 1923, in which he plays Spencer Dutton. This is yet another in a sales template that has worked well for Verve and Glassgold, brokering unpublished proof of concept short stories with star attachments. Other recent sales include the Steven Spielberg-produced Long Lost at Universal, and the Akela Cooper-scripted I t’s Over to Sony; the Aaron Jayh short story The Dwelling went to Amazon with Michael B Jordan starring and producing; Occupant landed at New Line with Zach Cregger producing; My Wife and I Bought A Ranch has Drew Hancock writing and directing for Amazon; and the Query Bros. are aligned to Wilderness Reform at Paramount.
