Submitter & Talent Details:

Creator and Production Team:

Joleen Pond Phelps – creator, writer, and IP holder, who channeled discipline and obsessive world-building into a complete supernatural universe — wholly owned, fully protected, and ready to move. Backed by an experienced producer and a script supervisor with five co-authored bestselling books and professional screen credits.

Project Overview:

Concept:

A dark mythology spanning centuries — royal bloodlines, ancient curses, and a supernatural world hidden beneath the human one. Gothic origins. Contemporary stakes. A saga designed to escalate across films.

Format:

Supernatural Fantasy · Horror · Action Thriller · Feature Film · Franchise Foundation

Comparables:

Underworld 2M → 5M · Twilight: Breaking Dawn 20M → 29M · Dune 65M → 10M

Stage:

148-page screenplay at Blue Revision. Production-ready. Locations identified. Creature designs complete. VFX scoped. Full deck and financial model available under NDA.

Investment & Strategic De-Risking:

The Ask:

$100M total — $86M production, $14M marketing and distribution.

Why Now:

Streaming platforms are in active competition for prestige supernatural IP with franchise legs. The gap at this budget level is real, measurable, and closing fast.

Return Potential:

Break-even modeled at $108M — reached around Week 15. Full capital recovery by Month 12. Underworld returned 4x its budget. Twilight: Breaking Dawn returned 7x. Conservative projections for Psionic Rush are priced 20–30% below genre comparables. Detailed financial model on request.

De-Risked From Day One:

Completion bond. Contingency reserve built in. Plus 25–40% production rebates in UK, Ireland, and Georgia — reducing net exposure before a single day of shooting.
