If you read the bottom of the article just posted, it states that kickback will probably not be made.

I wasn't surprised to see Jake say they probably would pull out of "Kickback". The projected budget on that was $10M and it's going to be filmed in the UK. If it could have been filmed in the Savannah area, it might have been a different story. But, because of the true story line, it would make no sense to film it in Georgia. I'm disappointed, because I love the story of Kickback, but I do understand the decision under the current circumstance.

Manu had a slate of four new movies (Battle, Kickback, The Damned and Kilat). "The Damned" was the only movie slated to be filmed in Georgia and it only has an estimated budget of $1M.

Right now, Medient needs to spend movie production money in the Savannah area so they can create jobs, as well as get the tax benefits. Jake has said several times this last week, that they are going to get back to making movies in the local area.

Hopefully they keeps the rights to kickback because it's one I would actually like to see besides new wilderness.

That movie was going to be very expensive to produce. I think the budget was stated as 12M in the variety article. Seems like a big risk given where Medient is at. Plus, I think Medient's goal is to film as much as possible in Georgia to utilize the tax credits. That will ensure profitability and amazing margins.

Kickback - a Movie Produced by Jake the Snake, Directed by Charles Toppleman, and starring no one we have every heard about... Yep, that's gonna be big... lmao
