AGBO Sets New Film From 'The Bluff' Writers Frank E. Flowers & Joe Ballarini After successfully launching Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ action film The Bluff, which topped Amazon Prime’s global most-watched list for a second consecutive week, producer AGBO has acquired a new project to be written by the film’s creators, Frank E. Flowers and Joe Ballarini. The deal, valued in the seven-figure range, will be split between the writers. The untitled project, which AGBO declined to disclose details about, is described as an original film intended for a large-scale production. While Flowers directed The Bluff, the new film’s director has not been announced. The original film starred Chopra Jonas as a former pirate captain who abandoned her seafaring life for a peaceful existence until her captain is kidnapped by a former adversary. Flowers, who previously directed Bob Marley: One Love, is represented by UTA, Brillstein, and Goodman Genow. Ballarini, known for A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting, is represented by Verve and McKuin Frankel. The announcement comes amid broader industry shifts, including the consolidation of streaming services and changes in media ownership. However, the focus remains on AGBO’s expansion through high-profile collaborations with established writers and actors.#agbo #frank_e_flowers #joe_ballarini #priyanka_chopra_jonas #uta
AGBO Sets New Film With ‘The Bluff’ Writers Frank E. Flowers & Joe Ballarini AGBO, the production company behind the action film The Bluff, has secured a new project to be written by the film’s creators, Frank E. Flowers and Joe Ballarini. The deal, valued in the seven-figure range, marks a significant expansion for the writers, who previously collaborated on The Bluff, which recently topped Amazon Prime’s global most-watched list for a second consecutive week. Details about the new project remain confidential, though it is described as an original story with a large-scale production. Flowers, who directed The Bluff, is not confirmed to helm the new film. The upcoming project, which does not yet have a title, is expected to follow the same high-concept approach as The Bluff. The latter stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas as a former pirate captain who abandons her adventurous past for a quiet life until her sea captain is kidnapped by a former enemy. The film’s success has positioned AGBO as a key player in the action genre, with the writers now set to develop another ambitious narrative. Flowers, known for his work on Bob Marley: One Love, and Ballarini, who contributed to A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting, have established themselves as versatile screenwriters. Their collaboration on The Bluff demonstrated their ability to blend swashbuckle and suspense, a formula that appears to be central to their new endeavor. The project’s scale and originality suggest it could compete with major studio releases, though specifics about its plot or cast remain undisclosed. AGBO’s acquisition of the new script underscores its commitment to expanding its portfolio of action-driven films.#amazon_prime #agbo #frank_e_flowers #joe_ballarini #priyanka_chopra_jonas
