Meet Thomas Tull. Wired recently had an interview with geek-pictures producer Thomas Tull, head of Legendary Pictures. The outfit is now home of a 45 picture deal with Warners. They can pride themselves for hits like the newer Batman series namely Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, 300, Watchmen and a few more, and with a film package this big, the company will surely stay a player for a number of years to come. An especially interesting project seems to be the film adaptation of the videogame franchise Gears of War.
According to the Wired article, the origin of the financial power behind the company is that Tull, coming from a venture capital background, applied VC financing tactics to movie producing, rasing money from VC investors. For the time being, his formula seems to be a success, for Warners, for the investors and for him.
