Yesterday we said that Logan Director James Mangold has signed a global agreement with Paramount Pictures to “develop, carry out and produce long -range projects” for the studio, which was recently acquired by Skydance.
The New Deal follows the recent news that the latest Mangold film, Motorcycle Racing Drama High side with A complete unknown Lead Timothée Chalamet was acquired by the studio.
“I am very happy to start this collaboration with David [Ellison]Josh [Greenstein]Dana [Goldberg]And everyone in Paramount, ” The filmmaker said in a press release. “”The enthusiasm they have shown towards the films on the big screen and the passion with which they adopted my ideas for future projects are really exciting. »»
Goldberg added, “James Mangold is one of the most talented filmmakers working today, and we could not be more excited to welcome him to the Paramount family, starting with a high side and many other collaborations to come.”
As we are sure that many of you know, Mangold is currently attached to a number of other development projects in different studios, including Marginating In DC Studios and Untitled Star Wars Film in Disney / Lucasfilm. What does this primordial agreement mean for these other (potential) versions?

“We talked to James the other day. No, he did not give a script. He was distracted with his billion films”, ” Gunn said in a recent interview when he was asked for an update on Swamp Thing. “We talk about it again.”
Likewise, Lucasfilm would have put several projects on the backup in order to focus on Star Wars: Starfighter And the writer’s writer / producer Simon Kinberg who was recently announced.
Mangold previously shared some intriguing details on his plans for MarginatingWhile explaining why he decided to make himself available for this particular project.
“As soon as I heard that James Gunn took over DC, I just saw him as an opportunity to throw my hat.”
He also said that his point of view on the classic character of DC Comics will be inspired by FrankensteinAnd although Gunn previously said that the film “Survey on the dark origins of Swamp Thing” with a “much more horrible” story, the director said he was not targeting “a rating R.
