WME & Brillstein Entertainment Partners Sign ‘Deadly Class’ Creator Rick Remender & His Giant Generator Imprint

EXCLUSIVE: Deadly Class creator Rick Remender has signed with WME and Brillstein Entertainment Partners. The Uncanny Avengers scribe’s artist-first imprint Giant Generator has also signed with the uberagency and Wasserman-owned management firm for representation in all areas too. “WME and Brillstein share Giant Generator’s artist-first ethos and passion for bold, original ideas,” Remender told Deadline today of his exclusive imprint at Image Comics. The plan is to develop Remender and Giant Generator’s original IP across film, television, animation, as well as games. “They’re the right partners to help us expand our stories across every medium,” Remender added of WME and BEP. “I’m thrilled about this team.” With a cast that included Lana Condor Benedict Wong, and Superman breakout María Gabriela de Faría, the 1980s punk fueled Deadly Class, which Remender was co-showrunner on with Miles Orion Feldsott, was based on the acclaimed 56-issue Wes Craig illustrated comic series created by the writer. A cult hit in the truest sense of the phrase, the Vancouver-filmed and Russo Brothers EP’d show lasted one season on Syfy in 2019. Bringing that same DIY sensibility to his other works, Remender also created the best selling Tokyo Ghost, Low, Black Science, Escape, Fear Agent, The Scumbag, Seven to Eternity, and Death or Glory. Although it has dropped beneath the radar of late, a feature film adaption of Tokyo Ghost by Remender was on Cary Fukunaga‘s dance card for a spell. During his time at Marvel, LA-based Remender worked on some seminal CaptainAmerica series, plus stories that formed major parts of the g Avengers: Endgame, Deadpool, and Guardians of the Galaxy flicks. As well as an overall deal at Netflix, Remender has been behind some of Electronic Arts’ biggest games such as Dead Space. Having been without an agency for a while since exiting UTA, Remender will still be repped by boutique law firm RLG LLP along with WME and Brillstein.
