Legendary Pictures to acquire Epic?
While there’s not much information to go on, Variety’s Ben Fritz is convinced, according to his reporting, that Legendary Pictures is in talks with Epic concerning a possible acquisition of the latter by the former.
Fritz notes Epic’s highly successful franchise, Gears of War, as well as their engine-licensing capabilities (with Unreal Engine 3 becoming an almost industry standard) as the main reasons Legendary would wish to buy them out.
Neither company has commented to the positive or the negative (or, in Legendary’s case, at all) regarding the news.
