Once Marvel Studios has its big budget super hero team up flick The Avengers in the can h CHUD reports that the studio is apparently meeting with various filmmakers about making small-moderate budget films based on their various lesser known characters.
This makes sense since let's say a Doctor Strange film dose not have the instant name recognition like Spider-Man or X-Men which were known entities outside geekdom before their respective film series
Marvel plans on restricting the budgets to around $20-40 million. The lower price point offsets the risk of failure, allows several films to be made simultaneously, and production of each will likely move at a much faster pace.
Flmmakers will be able to take much bigger risks with the material that a big-budget film simply would not afford them The risk is still there but will not hurt their bottom line as much
No official announcement about this potential new approach has been made yet--but I expect a press release to lay out specifics down the road
