Canada-based production company Legacy Filmworks, production-finance group Bron Management and comic-book publisher and transmedia outfit Arcana Studios have teamed to produce a slate of five films based on Arcana's comic titles.
The first will be the sci-fi thriller "Paradox," which will star Kevin Sorbo and be directed by Brenton Spencer ("Stargate: Atlantis"). Sorbo plays a homicide cop on a parallel Earth ruled by magic who investigates a series of murders committed by a previously unseen means: the power of science. Christos Gage and Ruth Fletcher Gage wrote the screenplay based on Arcana's three-issue limited series written by Christos Gage, who has worked for Marvel and DC Comics. The Gages, repped by Benderspink, wrote Sony's 2001 feature "The Breed" and have worked on NBC's "Law & Order: Svu."
Legacy Filmworks' Deboragh Gabler is producing "Paradox" and the rest of the slate, as is Bron Management's Aaron Gilbert, who helped arrange independent financing.
