Director Chad Stahelski Signs Second Deal With Lionsgate to Develop Action Films Outside of JOHN WICK and THE HIGHLANDER
Director Chad Staheliski already has a deal in place at Lionsgate where he will continue to develop the John Wick franchise as well as build out a franchise for The Highlander reboot he’s been developing. Now he’s got a second deal with Lionsgate in place.
This new production deal will see the filmmaker and his 87Eleven Entertainment label producing original action movies for the studio outside of what he’s doing for John Wick and The Highlander.
Lionsgate Motion Picture Chair Adam Fogelson said in a statement: “Chad and his team at 8711 Entertainment are profoundly talented filmmakers and creative collaborators. They raise the bar of excellence on every project they take on, and we are looking to Chad to bring us the best new original action projects that we can work on together and turn into the next hits and franchises.”
Stahelski added: “Lionsgate has been my home studio throughout my career as a feature director, so it only makes sense that I would base our film production business with the team that has been such extraordinary partners for so many years.”
Stahelski is a master when it comes to crafting action films, and I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of films he ends up procuring with Lionsgate.
