Pop Culture EVP Global Business Development Darren Epstein about the company’s sci-fi collectibles. Epstein discussed making Stargate merchandise and the ongoing appeal of Dune.
Well, we have plans to get the fans involved. We 100% will do movie items and we are looking at that now, but equally, we don’t want to bombard the market, as we know there is only so much people can afford, So we’ll plan it well and hopefully people will love what we plan to do. What about the Stargate brand excites you the most? Should we expect similar offerings from what we saw with the other brands?
Because of the strikes, we are only getting into that now, so they may come after the movie’s release, but I firmly believe this will be this generation’s Blade Runner. The movies will endure and fans will want the ships, and frankly, if they come after the release, so be it.
