Variety (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118003283.html?categoryid=13&cs=1&nid=2564) reports today that Katz' new company, American Original, will launch in two divisions -- American Original Press will be publishing around ten comics per year with the endgame goal of adapting them as films, TV shows, Web series or games, and American Original Entertainment will serve as the production arm.
"The genre audience has been derisively labeled with a variety of names -- 'fanboys,' 'geeks' and the like," Katz tells Variety. "While the bad news is that we are only a niche, the good news is that the future of entertainment is a future built on niches. This audience is expanding and is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the new entertainment model."
Anyone have an email addy for Jeff? A PM would be most appreciated appreciated.
