Relativity Becomes Relatively Scary
The Hollywood Reporter just got word that production house Relativity Media is looking to strike a deal with Universal that would give Relativity ownership of Rogue Pictures’ assets. The price? Oh, just 150 million dollars. Who doesn’t have that kind of cash just lying around for a subsidiary studio buy-out? The interesting thing here is that with this deal on the table, Relativity could come into possession of several horror properties including David Goyer’s The Unborn and Wes Craven’s 25/8, as well as a remake of Craven’s The Last House on the Left. Other supposed projects still on the development slate will also head on over to Relativity, including adaptations of Castlevania and the Devil’s Due comic Hack/Slash plus the sequel to this summer’s horror smash The Strangers.
This should be interesting for Rogue, which, throughout the entirety of its existence, has focused on horror/thrillers and now must come under the command of genre-newbies Relativity who have skimmed the horror genre’s surface with titles like Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Ghost Rider and Monster House, but thus far have not gone in the deep end. No deal is final yet but analysts say it’s likely to go through. Stay tuned.
