The
following is an outline of who might be interested in the "Cleopatra's Universe."
This is an AI generated example as a guide to potentially interested film companies, who,
we should stress, were not involved in this theoretical example. With great respect to the companies mentioned, and every acknowledgement
of their screen achievements.
CLEOPATRA
UNIVERSE - WHERE TO PITCH, & WHO MAY SAY YES
1. PRODUCTION COMPANIES MOST
LIKELY TO ENGAGE
1. Arrowstorm Entertainment
Why they’re a fit:
- Specialise in fantasy, mythology, and action.
- Have produced multi‑film fantasy sagas (Mythica series).
- Comfortable with mid‑budget VFX‑driven epics.
- Open to external scripts and partnerships.
Why they might like Cleopatra Reborn: It fits their wheelhouse: mythic worldbuilding, supernatural elements, and action.
2. DrAx Productions (UK)
Why they’re a fit:
- Focus on sci‑fi, thriller, and horror.
- Actively expanding into feature development.
- UK‑based, meaning easier collaboration and tax‑credit alignment.
Why they might like your script: Your Cleopatra Universe blends grounded sci‑fi with supernatural elements—exactly their stated interest.
3. Sci‑Fi Channel (UK Production Arm)
Why they’re a fit:
- Established genre production infrastructure.
- London‑based, accessible for UK creators.
- Known for developing sci‑fi and fantasy TV/film content.
Why they might like your script: It’s a high‑concept, mythology‑driven sci‑fi epic—perfect for their brand.
4. Expanding Universe (Amazon‑aligned)
Why they’re a fit:
- Founded by the creators of The Expanse.
- Have a first‑look deal with Amazon MGM
Studios
- Specialise in high‑concept sci‑fi with deep worldbuilding.
Why they might like your script: Your Cleopatra Universe is exactly the kind of multi‑platform, mythology‑rich franchise they are built to develop.
2. WHAT YOU SHOULD REALISTICALLY ASK FOR (Options vs. Sale)
A. Option Agreement (Most Likely First Step)
For emerging IP creators—even with strong scripts—producers prefer options, not outright purchases. Typical option terms:
£5,000–£25,000 for a 12–18 month option (renewable). Here the
producer covers development costs.
If greenlit, you receive a purchase price (see below). This is the most realistic way to “get your foot in the door.”
B. Outright Script Purchase (Less Common, But Possible)
If a company wants full control:
Typical purchase price is in the range of £50,000–£150,000 for a high‑concept genre script.
This is higher if bidding war or streamer
interest germinates. Given the scale of Cleopatra Reborn, you could aim for the upper end of this range.
C. Package Deal (Ideal Scenario)
If you bring:
- script
- artwork
- mythology bible
- franchise roadmap
- multiple IPs (Jimmy Watson, Sectasaur, etc.)
…you can negotiate a package, which increases your value.
Package deal value:
- £100,000–£250,000 across multiple properties.
- Potential producer or executive producer credit.
- Backend participation (rare but possible).
3. WHY YOU HAVE LEVERAGE (Even as New Entrants)
You already have:
- multiple completed scripts
- a full mythology bible
- a trilogy‑ready universe
- family adventure IP (Jimmy Watson)
- creature‑feature IP (Sectasaur)
- artwork and branding
- a clear franchise identity
This is far more than most writers bring to the table. Production companies love creators who bring entire worlds, not just one script.
4. RECOMMENDED STRATEGY: “THE BEGGAR'S BOWL THAT ISN'T”
You don’t need to beg. You need to offer irresistible value.
Step 1 — Lead with Cleopatra Reborn (Feature or Series)
It’s your strongest, most cinematic property.
Step 2 — Offer Jimmy Watson as a low‑risk, mid‑budget streaming series
This shows range and commercial awareness.
Step 3 — Offer Sectasaur as a creature‑feature franchise
Creature features are evergreen.
Step 4 — Present the Franchise Roadmap
Producers love long‑term potential.
5. WHO TO APPROACH FIRST (Priority List)
Expanding Universe — best match for scale and Amazon access.
- DrAx Productions — UK‑based, genre‑focused, approachable.
- Arrowstorm Entertainment — proven fantasy franchise builders.
- Sci‑Fi Channel (UK) — strong genre brand, accessible.
These companies are realistic, genre‑aligned, and open to external creators.
TARGET COMPANIES THAT MAY ACTUALLY SAY YES TO EXTERNAL CREATORS
Ideally, we'd want to work with companies that accept unsolicited or agent‑mediated submissions,
specialise in genre (sci‑fi, fantasy, mythology), have mid‑to‑high budget capabilities,
are open to co‑production and have UK or EU ties (for tax credits and Screen Scotland funding).
According to an AI search, our best realistic targets are:
Tier 1 — High‑Concept Genre Specialists
Expanding Universe (Amazon‑aligned, sci‑fi worldbuilders)
DrAx Productions (UK) (sci‑fi, thriller, horror)
Arrowstorm Entertainment (fantasy franchise builders)
Tier 2 — UK‑Based Genre Producers
Vertigo Films (action, sci‑fi, UK‑friendly budgets)
Bad Wolf (prestige fantasy, Wales/UK co‑production)
Sky Studios (genre‑friendly, UK‑based)
Tier 3 — Streamer‑Adjacent Production Arms
Amazon MGM Studios UK
Netflix UK
BBC Studios Drama (for co‑production)
ITV Studios Global Entertainment (international sales)
These companies are realistic and aligned with your material.
SEASON 1 — “THE CURSE OF CLEOPATRA”
SEASON 2 — “THE RESURRECTION PROTOCOL”
SEASON 3 — “THE QUEEN RETURNS”
