Bryan Singer gets involved in web series
He's brought us Superman Returns and X-men movies, been a large part of bringing us House on Fox, he directed Valkyrie and has recently been connected to the new Battlestar Galactic movie reboot and an Excalibur remake. Why do I get the feeling that Bryan Singer might be the next Jerry Bruckheimer? Okay, that's definitely going to far, but he is leaving is mark on Hollywood these days for both the big and small screen. And now, it seems, he's branching out into the recently growing web series arena.
Details are VERY limited, in fact, hardly more than a tease at the moment.
"I'm doing a Web series with Bryan Singer and Warner Brothers which I can't talk about," said director/producer Stewart Hendler in a group interview on Aug. 30. Hendler was promoting the film Sorority Row that comes out this weekend. He went on to say, "I'm under NDA. It's sci-fi, it's set in the future, and it's got a Lost vibe to it. That's kind of all I can say, unfortunately. It's super top secret."
Hendler did talk a little more about the artistic freedom afforded on the web, and also the financial challenges that come with the territory as well. "...yes, lots of creative freedom in that way. Very challenging in terms of financial and how much content we want to put out there. We want to do about two hours, 48 episodes, three to five minutes each. It's very, very ambitious. Nobody's funding a Web series at the levels they fund movies right now, so we'll see."
We'll keep our ears to the floor for more info on this project and what it might envolve. Stay tuned.
