• Our client and priority is MEGA MAN• We work with you to develop an optimal plan• We evaluate a number of strategic options• These may include UTA clients…• In addition to NON-UTA clients• The goal is to maximize the creative and financial

potential of the MEGA MAN property

Our Process

Producing Partner• Which producer is best for the property?• Which producer will attract the best writers, directors and actors?• Which producer has the best track record of getting films made (especially

a Mega-Man sized film)?• Which producing partners are marketable at which studios/financiers?• Which producing partner is going to be the best ally to Capcom throughout

the pitch, sales, development and production processes?• Should you partner with one producer “for the town”?• Or is it better to assign different producers different territories?

• UTA can – as we did with Dark Void – help you answer all of these questions to ensure that this first, CRITICAL decision is handled with care.

Talent Attachments• When is the appropriate time to attach a writer, director or

actor? • Which attachments add the most value to the project during

the sales process?• Case Studies:

– Dark Void: Plan B and Brad Pitt– Shadow of the Collussus: Kevin Misher & Justin Marks – Spore: Chris Wedge (writer/director of Ice Age)
