Sony Pictures have announced the launch of Stage 6 Films. Stage 6 Films is a label that will acquire and produce lower budget films ($1 million - $10 million) for theatrical and direct-to-DVD release.
Direct-to-DVD releases, in the past, was the kiss of death to movies but seems to be all the rage now-a-days. Universal and Disney have innovated a business of using and abusing franchises that have lower budgets for home video prequels/sequels. Sony already have a few movies up their sleeves - brace yourself:
- Starship Troopers: Marauder
- A Vacancy Prequel
- Art of War 2: Intervention
- Center Stage 2
Any of them sound that they could be in the least bit interesting? No, didn’t think so.
Variety has reported that Stage 6 will also have some original movies,
“Stage 6’s initial slate include the actioner “Conspiracy,” starring Val Kilmer, Gary Cole and Jennifer Esposito; the Thomas Jane acting-directing vehicle “Dark Country”; “The Stone House,” a horror/thriller directed by Alex Turner and starring Shane West, J.K. Simmons and Leonard Roberts; “The Lodger,” starring Alfred Molina and directed by David Ondaatje; and the thriller “Felon,” which stars Kilmer, Stephen Dorff and Harold Perrineau.”
Blockbusters cards at the ready then! Or not.
