NUMERATOR PICTURES LONG-TERM ROUNDTABLE

 

Welcome to the Numerator Pictures Roundtable, where we gather several major figures within the studio to talk about its long-term plans going forward. We’ll first be talking about the studio’s existing major franchises and immediate plans for awards hunting, and then we’ll be segueing into the studio’s long-range goals for Year 7 and beyond, including new franchises it intends to debut in the next few years as well as other plans.

 

We’ll start with

 

PART 1: STATE OF THE STUDIO – PLANS FOR EXISTING FRANCHISES

 

 

Spoiler

 

We turn first to one of the belles of the ball for Year 5, the Pillars of Eternity franchise. Its’ latest outing, Never Far From the Queen, experienced a bit of a box office breakout, projected for over $300 million domestic and receiving 9 Oscar nominations. While Numerator Pictures mature and methodical fantasy series has not been for everyone, the passion for it appears to be growing. And director Miguel Sapochnik is excited about where things will go for what he is calling the final installment of the “Hollowborn Trilogy.”

“Though not all of the pieces are in place just yet, the fog is beginning to clear for Sarana and her friends” Sapochnik says. “They know the cause of the Hollowborn plague, they know that thousands of souls have essentially been redirected and stolen over the past 15 years by the Leaden Key, and they know the Leaden Key is stirring up a major war between the Dyrwood and the Tribes of Eir Glanfath that if not stopped would result in devastation and the loss of countless lives, which will funnel even more souls into the Leaden Key’s control. The big thing they don’t know yet is why. And of course, Sarana has her own personal journey to finish, with figuring out the precise nature of her connection in the past to Thaos, the Leaden Key Grandmaster, and how these memories of a past life play into that.”

 

Sapochnik says that we’ll see a decent amount of Elizabeth Debicki and Tuppence Middleton, the two surprise cameos in the film, Middleton being Sarana’s soul’s past life, and Debicki being a person tortured and executed by the Leaden Key there is some relation to. Sapochnik is tight-lipped to avoid spoilers, but he says that the cold open to the film features them and is kind of reminiscent of the opening to one of his favorite films of the 2000s.

Sapochnik also says that the third film will continue with the political storyline of the second movie, which concluded with the Dyrwood’s capital Defiance Bay racked by riots, with countless people dead, animancers slaughtered or forced into exile, and the traditional power structure upended by Wenan and the Dozens seizing control of the city. “By taking over the heart of the Dyrwood, Wenan becomes a power player with a seat at the table, and when he pushes for war, everyone else of power in the region has to listen.” Sapochnik mused a little about some of the plot, character, and thematic similarities the second film had with Scavenger Wars Part II, and said he was a big fan of what the Duffer Brothers did in that film and said that there’s a universal language of discontent towards xenophobic nationalists that they all seemed to hit on at the same time. Sapochnik can’t of course speak to how Jarek will turn out, but he says that Wenan is a “true believer” in his cause, which makes him in a way much more dangerous than a political opportunist.

 

Thus, the third film of the trilogy, aside from resolving the Hollowborn/Leaden Key story, is very much about the Watcher and her companions doing everything they can to avert a war between the Dyrwood and the Tribes of Eir Glanfath. Sapochnik says that the second film laid the framework for historical bad blood between the two countries, and says that we’ll learn that a lot of people on both sides want a war to happen, to take care of past grudges as well as forward their ideologies.

 

The Tribes of Eir Glanfath are a loose confederacy of six tribes that mostly do their own thing but ally together when it comes to matters such as trade, common defense, etc. The past history is described as being analogous to the colonization of North America, only with the colonists and Native Americans being far more evenly-matched. Sam Riley’s character Hiravias was introduced in the second film to provide a little insight, and he will play a much larger role in the third film as the guy who meets with the heroes and guides them into the world of the Glanfathans and plays a key role in attempting to stop Thaos’ schemes from doing the same to the Glanfathan tribes as they did to the Dyrwoodans.

Filming on the third film, with the working subtitle of An Ancient Legacy, will begin in the spring. Casting is not 100% complete, but Sapochnik is willing to share some casting news about a couple secondary antagonists joining in on the fray.

 

Aiding Wenan on his xenophobic course will be David Morrissey, who is playing a character called Lord Gathbin. Sapochnik describes Lord Gathbin as a guy who has spent his whole life with a chip on his shoulder, never content with what he has, and always ready to blame his troubles on someone else, and who sees this pending war with Eir Glanfath as the opportunity to rise his station. Therefore, being an ambitious, amoral, unscrupulous person, he is one of the Dyrwooden nobles to fully support Wenan and his growing power base, which gives Wenan extra juice in forcing a war to occur.

 

On the opposite side of the conflict, pushing the tribes of Eir Glanfath towards war with the Dyrwood is Simoc, the anamfath (chieftain) of the Three-Tusk Stelgaer tribe. Simoc is to be played by Pilou Asbæk, and Sapochnik describes him as a nasty, brutal piece of work, saying that Simoc would like nothing more than a chance to wipe out as many of the colonizers as possible and to use such a war to boost his power in comparison to the other tribes. Sapochnik says a little coyly that Simoc will stoop to very underhanded means to coerce other tribes into following his lead.

 

Sapochnik also shares information about a more friendly ally for the heroes. Mireille Enos has been cast as Bethwl, the anamfath of the Guided Compass tribe, who seeks to be a voice of reason and moderation for the tribes and avoid a likely devastating war. Sapochnik says that one of the first hurdles Sarana et al face is to prove themselves to her as people to be trusted.

David Morrissey and Pilou Asbæk are additional foes for Sarana and her friends to face, whereas Mireille Enos may be their most important new "friend."

 

There remain several other notable roles to be formally cast for the film.

 

The conversation then turns to what lies ahead from the franchise. Sapochnik says that while he will stay on as an executive producer and help with some guidance of the overall direction, he’s ready to pass the baton on to someone else for the helm. There’s some very long-term plans for the franchise, but in the not so distant future, the studio intends to release in Year 9 a movie that is described very vaguely as a cross between a standalone, a spin-off, and a bridge to a future trilogy. Sapochnik laughs and says he can’t really say much more since his own trilogy is done, but does add that whereas the Hollowborn is an epic tale of politics and drama, this intermediate film will be far more adventurous in tone, taking cues from the Indiana Jones movies as well as the 1999 Mummy. A director likely won’t be picked until after An Ancient Legacy comes out, and casting will slowly start a little before then. The only thing we have confirmed for us is that Lily James will return as Ydwin for the film and will play a major role. “We included her in Never Far From the Queen as a way to introduce her character for future installments down the road and to help explain some of the key “science” stuff. We never expected her character to resonate with audiences as much as she did.” Thus, the story team, which had been 50/50 on having her appear in the Y9 offering, got a more forceful nudge from the producers to work her in.

Fans wanted more Lily James, and the studio is all to happy to oblige.

 

As for what lies beyond that, Sapochnik says it is still very much in flux, saying the studio is still considering whether to do additional “standalones” first or then go into another trilogy, but he thinks audiences will be in for a heck of a ride for whatever comes their way.

 

Pillars of Eternity: An Ancient Legacy comes out March, Year 7.

 

 

And with that our time with Sapochnik comes to a close and the talk of the town shifts to the current sci-fi pillar for Numerator Pictures: Mass Effect. Coming out to talk are Jack Bender and Drew Goddard, the directing/writer duo for the upcoming Mass Effect: Ascension in May, Year 6. Goddard shares that he got involved with Mass Effect by accident. He was originally slated to work on something for the studio for Year 5, but he got tied up in post-production on Epsilon Syndicate, so that opportunity did not pan out. However, the producers for the franchise called him up and asked him to work on the screenplay for Ascension. Goddard says that he will be part of the “braintrust” for the franchise going forward, shaping the general story and tonal direction, though he doesn’t expect to be directly working on screenplays for most of the future outings. At this point Bender chimes in and says that the goal for the studio for the Mass Effect franchise is to give each film its own unique feel, so most films will have their own specific director/writer team.

 

latest?cb=20150623154359220px-Drew_Goddard,_%22The_Cabin_in_the_

When asked about the decision to continue with the Banes/human supremacist elements present in the first film, Bender says that it was always the plan to spend a couple films developing the world of the franchise, the crew of the Normandy, and Shepard herself before getting into the heavy mythology of the games. “We wanted the focus to remain on Shepard’s journey, her growth as a person as well as her rise in prominence. These first two films are very much about establishing who Shepard is, and how she escapes the shadow of her mentor and the lies he had spun to be her own woman.”

 

Goddard adds that a lot of the games deal with the distrust and suspicion humanity is viewed with in general by the galaxy, and the first two films help set that tone by making humanity its own worst enemy. He was excited to give audiences the first taste of the dastardly paramilitary operation Cerberus, which will use all sorts of nefarious espionage and scientific means to find some advantage for humanity. “They see Banes as a tool, and he sees them as a means to an end. It’s a marriage of convenience that threatens great harm for the galaxy.” When asked if the Illusive Man, the head of Cerberus, will make an appearance in the film, Bender says no, they don’t want to pull that curtain back yet. Goddard adds though that the braintrust has a few names in mind for when it is time for that character to show up.

 

The cast and crew for Ascension has already been revealed publicly, and Bender/Goddard are loath to say much more about the film, except that they’re particularly excited for audiences to see Toby Kebbell’s take on fan-favorite hothead Turian cop Garrus Vakarian. So the conversation turns to the future for the series after Ascension releases. Goddard says the plan is to release a film every two years, and when pressed to share some details about what those films might delve into, chuckles and says someone else is better suited to answer that.

 

That person, entering the room with a wave and a smile, is Christopher McQuarrie. Pulling over a chair and easing in comfortably, McQuarrie tells us that he has recently been contracted to handle directing and writing duties for the untitled third film. McQuarrie tells us with a bit of relish that after seeing some comparisons between the first film and the Mission Impossible series, the studio decided it might not be a bad idea to embrace that identity a bit. He adds that the third film will be the one that enters the universe franchise fans have been waiting for. Aside from various returning characters from the first and second films, McQuarrie says he has a pretty good idea of casting for central characters Ashley Williams, Liara T’Soni, Tali’Zorah, and Wrex, though it’s too soon for those contracts to be signed.

On a closing note for the franchise’s time in the conversation, Goddard says that after he was hired as part of the braintrust, the first thing they did was come to a firm decision about how the franchise would end. “We wanted to know exactly how this series would wrap up and the decisions and fates for the characters, and then we knew how we’d work to get to that point.”

 

Mass Effect: Ascension comes out May, Year 6. The untitled third Mass Effect film will likely come out May, Year 8.

 

 

And finally the conversation turns to the third head of Numerator Pictures’ franchise totem pole: Pokémon. Shawn Levy comes out to discuss a little about the third and final film in the Kanto Trilogy, The Cinnabar Conspiracy, as well as plans for the franchise in subsequent years. Levy says that the trilogy has chronicled the growth of Stephanie as a person and as a Pokémon trainer, showing her successes, but also her mistakes and crises of confidence. “We knew we wanted this trilogy to build to two things: The Pokemon League, and Mewtwo. Blending those elements together for this final film in the trilogy has been a treat.”

Levy when asked whether Mew itself will show up in the third film says no, just Mewtwo. He does joke that the production team briefly spitballed Mary Elizabeth Winstead voicing Mew.

 

He adds that there’s something he is really, really excited for audiences to see, but it’s a bit too early to reveal what it is here. However he then coyly adds “but on Oscar night you will see what I mean.”

 

As for what comes after the Kanto trilogy is finished, Levy says that a spinoff film is in the pipeline, to be directed by veteran television director Uta Briesewitz. Details on that film will be revealed in detail after the release of The Cinnabar Conspiracy. The spinoff will likely come out Q1 Year 8.

 

image-w240.jpg?1463181195

Uta Briesewitz will direct a Pokemon standalone for Year 8, the details of which are being kept under wraps.

 

After that, probably in summer or winter of Year 10, the studio will start rolling out the next saga in the franchise, which Levy says will either take place in the Hoenn or Sinnoh regions of the world.

 

Pokemon: The Cinnabar Conspiracy will come out President’s Day Weekend, Year 6.

 

 

 

That concludes Part 1 of the studio’s long-term forecast. Next up will be Part 2, which will delve into the studios plans for new outings in the years to come.

I might announce some Y7 stuff sometime during May. Not nearly as much stuff as last time when I announced a whole bunch of stuff way too early during a Christmas Extravaganza. But I'm implementing self-discipline by not letting myself announce any Y7 projects until the first draft of The Ancient Magus' Bride is completed. I expect to have a lot of time during the writing period, even with summer classes and, potentially, my first part time job apart from my father's business.

NUMERATOR PICTURES LONG-TERM ROUNDTABLE

 

 

PART 2: WHAT COMES NEXT – PLANS TO EXPAND REACH

 

Spoiler

 

Numerator Pictures has some substantial plans for the next several years, including an intention to make more of an impact in the animated realm after the success with Sylvarius. The studio will not be releasing an animated film in Year 6, but has plans to release one each in Years 7, 8, 9, and 10. We’ll be touching on all four to a degree, but mostly on the most imminent of them.

 

Here to introduce what Numerator Pictures has in store for Year 7 is Dave Filoni, who will be producing that year’s offering as well as handling the story/script. Filoni, as always wearing his cowboy hat, settles into the chair and says that for Year 7, Numerator Pictures will be releasing The Ends of the Universe, a science fiction animated adventure. Filoni says the film will chronicle the adventure of a space pirate marooned after a mutiny by his crew, who finds himself stranded on a strange, exotic world cut off from the rest of civilized space, and the beings and challenges he finds there. Filoni says what sets this animated film apart from much of what other studios put out is two-fold: First, it will be done in the style of traditional animation, though with some stylistic influences by anime, and some digital enhancements and touch-ups here and there. The second main difference is that it’ll be rated PG-13, which no CAYOM animated film has done, and which only My Hero Academia is apparently doing in Year 6. Filoni acknowledges that this will make box office more of a challenge, but says that’s really secondary for the studio. “They make enough money with their other franchises they can afford to challenge themselves with animation.”

 

Filoni says that to helm The Ends of the Universe, he decided to hire someone with experience doing sci-fi adventure in the kind of animated style they’re going for, and it actually turned out to be two someones. At that point the directing team for The Ends of the Universe comes out: Steve Ahn & Chris Palmer.

Ahn and Palmer settle in in chairs by Filoni and say that after directing 33 episodes of Voltron between them, they were really excited to take their talents to the next level. Anh says what appealed to him about The Ends of the Universe is that a lot of it is about facing the unknown and finding yourself in the struggles that entails. Palmer says for him it was the opportunity to build a new world from the ground up, without the pressure or expectations of a franchise or follow-ups. “This is our sandbox to play in, and we don’t have to concern ourselves with anyone else coming over to take a spin in it later. So we can do things our own way.”

 

Both directors acknowledge that the budget and production team size is definitely more than they had with Voltron, but say they’re more than a match for the challenge. And the creative freedom they and Filoni have in crafting the film has certainly helped in easing some of the pressure and tension.

 

One aspect of that creative freedom has been with casting. Filoni tells us that the entire voice cast for The Ends of the Universe will be professional voice actors, rather than relying on A-list and B-list celebrities like most animated films studios do. “They make it a selling point, see X voice a dog! See Y voice a lion! But it really doesn’t add anything that professional voice actors can’t already do, other than add onto the budget.” Anh and Palmer say they’re very comfortable with the voice cast they’ve assembled, having worked with some of them from their Voltron days.

 

The male and female leads for the film are noted to be Yuri Lowenthal and Laura Bailey, whom not too long ago had teamed up as Peter Parker and Mary-Jane Watson in Sony’s acclaimed Spider-Man game.

Yuri Lowenthal and Laura Bailey will reunite as the voice cast leads, William Kidd and Adira, for The Ends of the Universe.

 

Joining them in the supporting cast are John DiMaggio, Josh Keaton, Fred Tatasciore, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, Dee Bradley Baker, Kimberly Brooks, Steve Blum, and Mark Hamill.

Steve Blum voices Makris, Bosch's brutal but dim-witted right hand man. Mark Hamill voices Tovash, a mysterious and powerful native whom others fear.

 

The three say that they’re prepping the film for a Holiday release in Year 7, in the hopes that it’ll find a nice little niche to settle into there.

 

After the three depart, a studio executive comes out to discuss briefly the plans for the subsequent animated offerings. Year 8 will bring another traditionally animated movie, which is briefly described as a globetrotting mystery adventure. Year 9 will bring a sequel to Sylvarius, which will delve deeper into the relationship there is between the various natural realms and the magical secrets they hold. We’re told that similar to the How to Train Your Dragon series, the characters will age with the years, to show the progression of time along with their personal growth. Finally, Year 10 will bring the animated film that will be the studio’s most out on a ledge animated attempt of this decade, one that’ll take a team of heroes to pull off.

 

 

That concluded the animated section, and we returned to live action franchises of the future. A studio executive talked about plans to introduce a second fantasy franchise for the studio, likely starting in Year 8, and the studio is currently debating whether said franchise will be Dragon Age or Baldur’s Gate. Similarly, on the sci-fi front, there is talk about developing the StarCraft franchise for film, with a potential for a Year 8 or 9 debut.

 

 

But the big excitement in Numerator Pictures is an original sci-fi franchise the studio is developing for release in Year 7. Coming to talk to us about this franchise is director Steven Caple Jr., who will be helming the initial film, titled The Long Way Home.

 

Caple says that film is at its core about a makeshift family forming during a perilous struggle and journey far more than any of them bargained for. The central characters are four individuals who are the crew of a Deep Space Reconnaissance Vessel, in a setting a few centuries from now with Earth having expanded across a few dozen light-years of space. The four, in the midst of investigating a series of strange radio signals, find themselves suddenly, and almost inexplicably, propelled hundreds, thousands of light-years across the galaxy, where they find themselves in the middle of strange environments, strange species, and a vicious and encompassing civil war consuming the region around them.

 

Caple says that he wanted the crew of the ship, called the Peregrine (like the falcon), to have a diverse background and array of characteristics, that allows for some friction between them but also presents opportunities for them to bond.

 

For the leader of the crew, Caple says he wanted someone with effortless charisma but also a hard-nosed attitude, someone with the determination to get things done. So after testing a few people, he settled on John David Washington, who will be playing Marcus Olson. Olson is described as a soldier who lost much of his recon unit in a mysterious ambush, and his commitment to finding answers leads him to the Peregrine and its deep space mission.

 

Next on the crew is Naomi Scott, who will be playing Amelia Tanner, the pilot of the Peregrine. Amelia is described as being relentlessly optimistic and cheerful, almost overbearingly so. This plus her overzealous and overconfident approach to piloting has worn out her welcome with most space commands, so she’s essentially exiled to the Peregrine.

 

Following her is Sonequa Martin-Green, who will be portraying Dr. Taylor Harris, a medical professional and biochemist, who is one of the few survivors of Marcus’ unit, though not without a cost, as portions of her body were critically damaged and had to be replaced with cybernetics. She holds a grudge against Marcus for what happened to her comrades, and is reluctantly convinced to join the Peregrine on the goal of finding out what caused the mission to go south.

 

The final member of the crew is Jack Lowden, who is playing David Evans. David is a crack linguist and communications specialist, and somewhat of a know-it-all, but the feature that stands out most about him is that he is blind. This has led him to basically be isolated from much of the exploratory missions out there, but in a way leads him to the Peregrine, as his skillset makes him ideal for the initial goal of tracking down the strange signals. David is accompanied by his seeing-eye dog, Garbanzo, an Australian Cattle Dog.

Appearing briefly in this film as Marcus’ direct superior will be Taraji P. Henson. The role is described as someone no-nonsense and buttoned-down, but sympathetic to the people under her command. The indication of the casting is that while the role is not much in The Long Way Home, it may be more prominent in some future movie, if others are made.

We’re then introduced to the various alien races the Peregrine will encounter in the film. They are as follows:

 

The Endrekar – A chameleonic humanoid race with reddish-brown skin that almost has a texture of scales, but otherwise generally human in appearance. They can blend into their surroundings, and also have a limited ability to alter their bodies to resemble other humanoid races of similar size. They are played by people with makeup.

 

The Timistri – A bipedal feline race that looks most similar to a bobcat, about five feet tall. They will be depicted in mo-cap.

 

The Martolians – A primate species that looks most similar to orangutans, about 6.5-7 feet tall and broad. They will be depicted in mo-cap.

 

The Xevox – The most exotic and alien of the races featured, this species is depicted as sort of a cross between a crustacean and arachnid, with six legs, two arms, and a torso, and four bulbous eye stalks. These are portrayed completely with CGI.

 

The Nevari – A humanoid race with an array of skin tones, from green to blue, to purple, and small curved horns protruding from their head and a thin almost vestigial tail. They’re clearly influenced and inspired by the Tiefling race from Dungeons & Dragons. They are played by people in makeup.

 

The Streikor – A draconic-looking race of sorts, with a snarling lizard head, hands and feet with four digits and claws, and a set of dark leathery wings that allow for limited hovering and flying ability. They will be depicted in mo-cap.

 

Of course, knowing the various alien species doesn’t mean much unless you know the actors and actresses who’ll be appearing as them. The rest of the cast for The Long Way Home is as follows:

 

Adria-Arjona-picture-300x292.jpg23-jodie.w330.h330.jpgMV5BMTU0NzM3MzQ4Ml5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwOTg2

 

Adria Arjona as Ny’asha – An Endrekar scout; Jodie Comer as Jyanis – A Nevari polymath. Also maybe a wizard. Bobby Cannavale as General Grakon (mo-cap) – A Streikor military commander in charge of a secret project

Andrew Scott as Po’Tanis – An Endrekar assassin; Corey Hawkins as Uldrek (mo-cap) – A Streikor who is Grakon’s lieutenant; Liam Cunningham as Orzanis (mo-cap) – A Timistri political exile.

MV5BYzk4ZTY3ZGQtYjM4Zi00MGYwLTgwZGYtZDlmMV5BMTY2NTYxNTYzN15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNTE0

 

Ming-Na Wen as Hylar – A Nevari warrior; Kristofer Hivju as Gerzak (mo-cap) – A Martolian engineer; Tara Strong as Bataima (voice) – A Xevox warrior; Janet Varney as Shaper Igden (voice) – A scientist of an undisclosed species supervising Grakon’s project

 

 

The Long Way Home is due to come out at some point in Year 7, most likely Q3, to try and carve out some space away from some known heavy-hitters due for that year.

 

 

 

And with that, Numerator Pictures concludes its long-range round-table. While it has other plans for upcoming years, most of those are not developed enough to be shared at this time.

First The Scavenger Wars and now Mass Effect? Every time I make a new original franchise the directors get swooped up to guide another. It’s my magic touch. 

 

Drew Goddard was supposed to do Until Dawn in Year 5. Then you said you wanted to use him for Epsilon so I changed directors for that film. So I just kept him around for something else as a writer.

Lesedi 

 

It is Sesotho for light, and the name of the greatest hero the world has known.

 

Find out more about her over the weekend.

My guess is the Phoenix Saga or the live action lord & Miller project
