The Disney-owned division was everywhere, thanks to hits <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-features\/kingdom-of-the-planet-of-the-apes-sequels-1235892576\/\">Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes<\/a><\/em> and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-features\/alien-romulus-ending-offspring-fede-alvarez-1235978411\/\">Alien: Romulus<\/a><\/em>, not to mention <em>The First Omen<\/em>. Even <em>Deadpool &amp; Wolverine<\/em>, which grossed $1.3 billion, featured the logo before and in the movie, which was in part a love letter to the Fox era Marvel movies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tGuiding 20th is the steady hand of Steve Asbell, the longtime Fox exec who became president of the division in 2020, just when the pandemic hit. He navigated the transitional movies and then the pandemic movies, and then the switch to streaming and back to theatrical again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tBut as much as the summer\u2019s movies were about franchises long ago,\u00a0the studio has one eye very much on the future. It is working with up-and-coming filmmakers on streaming features that it could pivot to theatrical if an opportunity opens up. And it\u2019s stepping on the gas on some original theatrical movies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cAll of this success gives us equity and momentum to sort of take these shots,\u201d says Asbell noting the division goes into production on a Bruce Springsteen feature starring Jeremy Allen White later this month and is due to shoot <em>Send Help<\/em> with Sam Raimi in January. Next year it will release a comedy from James L. Brookes and Rami Malek spy thriller <em>The Amateur<\/em>. More projects will get underway in the summer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tEven the offices are lively these days, with a life-size <em>Planet Apes<\/em> simian, adorned with cool shades, greeting visitors and a handsome wood-and-glass case being built to house the division\u2019s many historical Oscars.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tWith <em>Alien<\/em> wrapping up its theatrical run in October and Springsteen close to starting production, Asbell, who oversees nine production executives along with their support teams, is catching his breath, if only for a moment. But he sat down with <em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> to discuss balancing streaming and theatrical, originals and established IP, and spilled more than he should about two, yes we said <em>two<\/em>, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/t\/predator-2\/\" id=\"auto-tag_predator-2_1\" data-tag=\"predator-2\">Predator<\/a><\/em> movies coming next year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>This was in many ways the summer that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/t\/20th-century-studios\/\" id=\"auto-tag_20th-century-studios_1\" data-tag=\"20th-century-studios\">20th Century Studios<\/a> came into its own within the Disney empire. So what does it mean being 20th Century Studios in 2024?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tI\u2019ve been here five years now almost, and it\u2019s been an amazing journey with Disney in fact, because there is no sort of us and them, it\u2019s just us. I mean, Alan [Bergman, Disney co-chair] has been a champion of ours since the beginning. He\u2019s been supportive of our slate from the very beginning, all through marketing, distribution, publicity. We\u2019re all very close now and we\u2019re all friends. It feels very integrated and it feels like this summer, in particular, we were able to contribute to the larger Disney model. And now we have David Greenbaum, who\u2019s, happily for me, a very old friend of mine. He\u2019s an executive of impeccable taste and he\u2019s brought a real energy, frankly, to both divisions. And so what it means is I think filmmakers, great franchises, and original films for both theatrical and streaming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>Where is the balance between originals and franchise plays?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tRight now it\u2019s looking like next year, half the slate.  Job one was figuring out these franchise movies first and coming up with the right cadence of <em>Avatar<\/em>, <em>Apes<\/em>,<em> Alien <\/em>and <em>Predator <\/em>specifically. Getting those right was the first part, which we\u2019ve done now. And so that idea is to be able to say, \u201cOkay, we know when the <em>Avatar <\/em>movies are coming. We know now about <em>Predator<\/em>. There\u2019ll be another <em>Apes<\/em> in \u201827, let\u2019s just say.\u201dSo knowing where we can plan those franchises, it helps us look to see and ask what kinds of original movies in terms of genre do we want to test the marketplace with?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>How do you decide which ones go streaming and which ones don\u2019t?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe landscape has changed so that theatrical is back. There\u2019s a lot more opportunity in theatrical films, but since the consolidation of Disney+ and Hulu, there\u2019s a tremendous audience for those [streaming] films. There\u2019s still that thing with the streaming movies where we can really take chances with it and they can sort of be what they need to be. They don\u2019t necessarily have to hit that theatrical threshold of, \u201chow much is it? How many screens?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong><em>Alien: Romulus<\/em> was supposed to go straight to streaming, but that changed right before filming. So what prompted that change?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tIt was started as a streaming movie because we started development when we were in COVID and it wasn\u2019t clear what our strategy was going to be theatrical or streaming. At the time we had different sorts of budget categories for streaming, which we were always circumspect about not wanting to spend too much money on streaming movies. We didn\u2019t know quite yet how they would perform based on the metrics. And the truth is we started it hoping that theatrical would return to some measure of normal. But we made that film and, frankly, every other film we\u2019ve made for streaming, with the same care and curation as we do our theatrical movies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>What\u2019s the next step for <em>Alien<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tWe\u2019re working on a sequel idea now. We haven\u2019t quite closed our deal with Fede [Alvarez], but we are going to, and he has an idea that we\u2019re working on. The two survivors, Rain and Andy, played by Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson, were real highlights of the film. And so I always think of it like, \u201cWow, where do people want to see them go next?\u201d We know there\u2019s going to be aliens. We know there\u2019s going to be great horror set pieces. But I fell in love with both of them and I want to see what their story is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>Jon Landau, who was producing the <em>Avatar<\/em> movies, sadly passed away this summer. Has the day-to-day on <em>Avatar 3<\/em> changed at all?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tIt\u2019s just hard personally, because Jon\u2019s somebody I talked to every day and he was a mentor to me and a good friend and had unbelievable impact on everybody. I mean, it\u2019s a huge loss. He was a great, great friend and a great sort of half mind to Jim [Cameron], however he describes it. We just miss him every day. But it hasn\u2019t changed. It hasn\u2019t affected the release date or Jim\u2019s timeline or anything of that. We were already on a track that has its own milestones and guideposts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>Lightning round on 20th Century titles! <em>Free Guy 2<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tNot yet. [Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds] have to come up with an idea. And they\u2019re just busy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong><em>Kingsman<\/em> sequels or prequels.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThere\u2019s no plans on doing them anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>More Agatha Christie mystery movies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tMore, yes. We have, <em>And Then There Were None<\/em>. We have <em>Witness for the Prosecution<\/em>. We\u2019re doing <em>Miss Marple<\/em>. There\u2019s a bunch of other titles that we\u2019re working on. We have very close relationship with the estate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>A <em>Master and Commander <\/em>prequel?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tI\u2019m trying so hard. It\u2019s the first movie I worked on at Fox twenty years ago. We have a great script. It just needs the right director.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>Any <em>Die Hard<\/em> plans?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tNo, not yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>Here\u2019s a big one. Will the next <em>Predator<\/em> movie get a theatrical release?<\/strong> <strong>[Editors note: this conversation took place before Disney <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/marvel-takes-blade-off-release-calendar-1236041119\/\">dated<\/a> <em>Predator: Badlands<\/em> for a 2025 release in theaters.]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tYes. And no.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>You\u2019re killing me here.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tYes, a <em>Predator <\/em>movie will have a theatrical. I\u2019ll tell you very simply. After <em>Prey<\/em> became a success, Dan [Trachtenberg] came back and said he didn\u2019t want to do <em>Prey 2<\/em>. And we\u2019re like, \u201cWhat do you want to do?\u201d And he rattled off a bunch of ideas that were really crazy but really cool. We\u2019ve actually done two of them. Two are coming out next year. One I can\u2019t talk about yet, but the other one is the live-action <em>Predator <\/em>film with Elle Fanning that just wrapped in New Zealand. That\u2019ll be out theatrically sometime next year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>You\u2019re blowing my mind. Let\u2019s tackle this one at time. One <em>Predator<\/em> movie is coming out theatrically<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tIt\u2019s titled <em>Badlands<\/em> and it is an absolutely bonkers idea. It is a sci-fi thing, but it\u2019s not what everybody thinks it is. And I mean, it\u2019s awesome. It is so nuts. But in Dan, we trust.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>Now you said there\u2019s a second <em>Predator<\/em> movie.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThere\u2019s a second <em>Predator<\/em> movie that we have different plans for. Dan has actually directed both.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>So there\u2019s a secret <em>Predator<\/em> movie<\/strong>\u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThere\u2019s a secret <em>Predator<\/em> movie that will come out before the theatrical one but I can\u2019t say anything about yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>Fine. Will we eventually see another <em>Alien vs. Predator<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tProbably.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>Not sure how I feel about that.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tIt wouldn\u2019t be in the way you think. That\u2019s the thing. Not in the way that it will just be called <em>Alien vs. Predator <\/em>or anything like the original movies. If we do this, they\u2019ll be organically created out of these two franchises that we\u2019ve continued with characters that we fall in love with and those characters will combine\u2026perhaps. But we haven\u2019t gotten to that point. And we\u2019re not just going to bang it out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>At a 30th anniversary screening of <em>Speed<\/em> a few weeks ago, Sandra Bullock said Hollywood may not be brave enough for a <em>Speed 3<\/em>. Response?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tHollywood is brave enough. We are brave enough. We are sitting by the phone. (<em>Laughs<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tIt is one of those last movies that we haven\u2019t remade. And to really be a reason to come back, it\u2019s got to be a great idea and an idea that excites (Bullock and Keanu Reeves). Because that\u2019d be the reason to see it. It\u2019s obviously a really important title for us, but it\u2019s not something we would handle lightly or just try to press them into service. They\u2019d have to be a part of the development of that idea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<em>A version of this story first appeared in the Oct. 23 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
