Development Diaries
The latest updates on Legion M's projects in development!
Calculated Sequels
Momentum is building for Calculated, the YA series based on the novels by Nova McBee and produced by our partners at OneDoor Studios. You may remember a recent update revealing Ann Peacock (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) has attached to write the screenplay for the first film in the series. The team at OneDoor have recently launched their campaign for the Calculated Sequels on Wefunder, opening with a smashing $500k, which has grown to over $850k in the short time the campaign has been live. If you are an investor in Legion M, you already own a small stake in the Calculated Sequels. However, if you would like to invest directly in the sequels, check out the terms on OneDoor's Wefunder page.
New Project: Tales Of The Moonlight Cutter
Legion M is excited to announce another Project in Development. Based on the epic comic series by Dale W. Berry, this is the tale of Shen Hua Yen, better known as the Moonlight Cutter due to his unmatched sword skills and the terrifying sword he wields. This series follows the saga of how the Moonlight Cutter and a young woman — his descendant and the heir to the mystic blade — together strive to save the world from the netherworld’s darkest evils across the centuries, from ancient China to the turn-of-the-century American frontier and finally, in the weird unseen shadows of modern day San Francisco. New York Times bestselling author Jeff Yang (Rise: A Pop History of Asian America from the Nineties to Now, Secret Identities, Shattered) has attached as Showrunner, and David Uslan (Constantine) has signed on to produce alongside Legion M.
