Veteran producers Sid Ganis, Nancy Hult Ganis, Mark Johnson, Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum have signed on with The H Collective, a new film financing, production, marketing and distribution company, the producers announced Monday.
The lead project on the new company’s slate is a fourth sequel to Vin Diesel’s “xXx” action franchise following Paramount’s January release of “xXx: Return of Xander Cage,” which grossed $346 million worldwide.
The H Collective will finance the new film, which will be produced by Roth and Kirschenbaum, and acquire all rights excluding TV and U.S. theme park rights.
The company plans to finance four projects per year in a wide mix of budgets over the next four years, with a focus on four categories: family/comedy, action adventure, horror and prestige.
