"Link, any good movie projects recently? I hope there's a chance we could collaborate."
At the party, Ryan Kavanaugh said with a champagne glass in hand.
Link thought for a moment, then brought up two projects, one was Lionsgate Films' upcoming "The Expendables 3," and the other was a best-selling book adaptation produced by Summit Entertainment, "Divergent."
Because he and Scarlett Johansson's paychecks were quite high, "The Expendables 3" had a whopping budget of 125 million US dollars. With higher budgets come greater risks, but equally, if the box office explodes, the profits could be astronomical, it's sort of like gambling.
For this, he would need to find several peers to collaborate. If they win, they earn money together; if they lose, they bear the consequences together.
There's also "Divergent," a new movie project in the works. It's a sci-fi action film with a production budget of seventy to eighty million. If Kavanaugh is interested, he could also invest.
