End Cue Acquires Untitled URBAN EXPLORERS Feature Film Pitch

Film finance and production company, End Cue, came out on top in a competitive bidding war with several studios, acquiring Jon Watts and Christopher Ford's untitled URBAN EXPLORERS feature pitch, a young adult adventure set under New York City's Lower East Side. End Cue prides themselves on finding up and coming talent - the pitch was sold one month before Watts was tapped by Marvel and Sony to direct the new Spider-Man franchise.

This marks the second project between End Cue, Watts and Ford after a successful collaboration on COP CAR, starring Kevin Bacon, which premiered at Sundance 2015. COP CAR was acquired by FOCUS World and opens in theaters on August 7th.

In addition to COP CAR, End Cue's slate includes MOONFALL, a sci-fi script written by David Weil and produced by Andrew Kortschak and Ram Bergman (STAR WARS, LOOPER). Led by Andrew and Walter Kortschak, End Cue was formerly known as Audax Films.

Said Andrew Kortschak, "We could not be more excited to develop this project with Jon and Ford. Our collaboration on COP CAR was seamless and to be working on a large-scale project with them is a dream come true. Their energy and creativity is infectious and it is exciting to be part of the team once again."

Watts & Ford are repped by CAA and Greg Slewett; additionally, Ford is managed by Dianne McGunigle. CAA and Craig Emanuel of Loeb & Loeb represented End Cue in the deal.
