02 — Film & Television Production & IP development

The best stories don't stop at the screen.

We develop and produce film, television and short-form entertainment for international audiences. Our experience spans ambitious international coproductions, established franchises and original storytelling.

Today, we're applying that expertise to new opportunities in intellectual property, cross-format development and global distribution.

Our approach

A story is the beginning.

Great entertainment starts with a compelling idea, memorable characters and a reason for audiences to care. But an intellectual property can increasingly reach audiences through different formats, each offering a distinct way to experience its world.

Film, television, animation, games and short-form entertainment can complement one another, creating opportunities for discovery, engagement and franchise development. We consider those opportunities from the beginning, combining creative development with a broader understanding of financing, distribution, audience behaviour and commercial potential.

That doesn't mean every story needs to become a franchise. The objective is always to find the right creative and commercial approach for the underlying material.

The project

The cult gaming franchise comes to the big screen.

Originally released in 2012, Lollipop Chainsaw became a cult favourite through its irreverent combination of horror, action, comedy and memorable characters. Now the franchise is being developed for a new live-action feature film.

Conceived as a mature action-comedy prequel, the film expands the world of Lollipop Chainsaw through an original story set before the events of the first game. The project was officially announced at Tokyo Game Show in September 2026.

Franchise thinking

One franchise. Multiple opportunities.

  • Games
  • Live-Action Film
  • Gaming & Animation Development

Lollipop Chainsaw represents an approach to IP development that considers how audiences interact with a franchise across formats. Alongside the existing games and further developments in gaming and animation, the live-action feature creates another opportunity to expand the property internationally.

Our ambition is to develop the film as a compelling entertainment experience in its own right while contributing to a broader franchise strategy.

Developed as a vertical action-comedy series, The Last Daughter of the Ninja Throne brings cinematic martial-arts choreography, genre storytelling and contemporary characters to a mobile-first entertainment format.

Partners Roundhouse Film, Red Pony, Ambitious TV and additional partners

The format

A different approach to short-form entertainment.

Microdrama isn't simply conventional television presented vertically. Its narrative structure, viewing habits and digital distribution environment create a different relationship between stories and audiences.

The format offers new opportunities for producers to develop and distribute entertainment outside traditional commissioning models, with audience discovery and engagement becoming central considerations.

For Orange Chariot, the project is an opportunity to collaborate across production, creative development, action design and digital distribution, bringing specialist capabilities together around a commercially focused genre property.

Final production credits, Orange Chariot's precise involvement and public distribution language to be confirmed.
