Variety broke the news earlier this week, but we’re thrilled to announce that Fade To Black — a project that tied for first place in our last M-Pulse survey — is officially entering pre-production! Once again, it was the votes and input from our investors that gave us the confidence to move forward on this project. We couldn’t be more excited to embark on this journey, and couldn’t be more excited to bring our community along for the ride.

Ever since we saw the results of the M-Pulse survey earlier this year, we’ve worked behind the scenes to bring Fade To Black to life. It’s all coming together in spectacular fashion. This dark thriller will star Karan Soni (Deadpool franchise, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse) as Amit, a screenwriter desperate to make his mark in Hollywood. Alongside him, the film will feature an incredible ensemble cast including Katerina Tannenbaum (And Just Like That..., Better Call Saul), Max Carver (The Batman, The Leftovers, Teen Wolf), Rafael Casal (Blindspotting, Loki), Gavin Leatherwood (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, It's What's Inside), Joseph Lee (Beef, Searching, Star Trek: Picard), John Carroll Lynch (The Trial of the Chicago 7, American Horror Story), and Zosia Mamet (Flight Attendant, The Decameron, Madame Web).

Directed by Andrew Sandler (known for his work with mega-artists like Blink-182, Justin Bieber, and Ariana Grande) and written by Brandon Cohen, Fade To Black will take you on a darkly comedic ride through the brutal realities of the entertainment industry, as Amit’s desperate ambition leads him to mimic the murders of his script’s fictional serial killer. It’s a twisted, razor-sharp exploration of the madness behind Hollywood’s glamorous curtain, and marks Sandler’s debut into narrative features.

REMINDER: Investors in Legion M already have a stake in this film – along with every other project we do. That’s because when you invest in Legion M you are buying stock in the studio. When you invest directly in a film, you are buying a chance to participate directly in the profits (if any) that particular film generates – as well as bucket-list perks like having your name in the credits.

Either way, we can’t wait to see what we’ll build together with Fade To Black. Please stay tuned for more exciting updates.

Onward & Upward!
