According to the report, many top-notch creative talent has approached Amazon about developing projects for some of these titles, and Amazon Studios has built its own roster of talent for some of these projects. Some of them will be developed as TV shows, some will be movies, and some will get both.
Robocop is being talked about for both cinema and TV, with a TV show possibly sooner. There was a prequel project previously in development that would have centered around the origin of Dick Jones, the senior vice president of Omni Consumer Products. Original RoboCop screenwriter Ed Neumeier he was developing that project with the writers Dave Parker AND Rob Gibbs. It sounded like a very cool project, but I heard Amazon passed it on.
With Stargatethe studio is looking to develop film and television projects, but they would relaunch the franchise with a new film.
The studio is in active conversation at the start Legally blonde, whether for a film or a TV series. This comes after efforts to get a third Legally Blonde film off the ground over the past five years.
They are already actively developing TV shows based on Fame, Barber shop AND The Magnificent Seven. I just have to say this as a fan of westerns and the original The Magnificent Seven movies, I’m pretty excited to see what they do with a TV series.
There are also discussions about making a The Thomas Crown Affair movie as well as a Pink Panther movie, which could be animated. Then Poltergeist it is also being seen as a new film.
Furthermore, it was previously announced that Amazon is also expanding the I believe universe with new film and television projects with franchise stars Michael B. Giordano. The studio also just closed a first-run deal with Sylvester Stallone and his Balboa Productions for film and television projects. This could also expand the Rocky brand!
Of all these projects that Amazon is looking to develop, which ones are you most excited about?
