Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures pack is no more. Universal Pictures has signed a distribution deal with the newly freed production company.
Just days after Legendary opted out of the Man of Steel sequel to focus on Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, which has a joint distribution deal between Warner Bros. and Paramount, Warner Bros. has decided to allow Legendary to walk away with an adaptation of Joseph Delaney’s Seventh Son, starring Jeff Bridges (as a sorcerer) and Julianne Moore.
The movie has been dropped from its January 17 release date, having just moved there a few months back, and it’s being reported that Universal will step in as a distributor only, since the the has already been fully financed by Legendary.
Legendary is still involved with Warner Bros’ upcoming releases 300: Rise of an Empire due out March 7 of next year and the reboot of Godzilla, which is out May 16, 2014.
