Producers Roger Corman and John Davison will make Space 3001, a $20 million Sci Fi action picture, with Irish government subsidies, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The deal, announced at the American Film Market, will see Corman and Davison finance the production through their respective companies, New Horizons and Cowboy Outfit Llc., in conjunction with the Dublin- based Merlin Film Fund headed by Kieran Corrigan.
Davison began his career in the industry at Corman’s previous company, New World Pictures, where he produced Grand Theft Auto. With a screenplay by Sam Straider, Space 3001 will start production in the spring at Corman’s Irish studio Concorde Anois.
Because with Corman on board… it’s got to be good.
I see a more expensive version of every other crap ‘sci-fi’ movie that SciFi channel cranks out by the dozen. Too bad there’s nothing out on the guy writing the screenplay. That could be a good sign. I expected IMDB to list his name in association with movies like “Alien Terminator.” Instead his name isn’t listed at all.
…and “Space 3001”? Sounds like a working title, but isn’t. I’m not expecting much from this, are you?
It’s bound to be 1002 better than Space 1999!
If it is done by Corman, it is bound to be crap.
