  • Evolution of 'The Minute Men': From Concept to Franchise with Chris Connelly

    Evolution of 'The Minute Men': From Concept to Franchise with Chris Connelly
    2025/09/25
    Oscar-winning producer Jonathan Sanger and producer Daniel Brea talk with Chris Connelly, the co-creator of 'The Minute Men.' – a new sci-fi property he developed with his brother screenwriter Larry Connelly.

    In this fresh sci-fi story, the heroes have superhuman abilities for just one minute – a concept which has spawned an evolving intellectual property (IP) that Connelly is leveraging for multiple media formats including films, series, graphic novels, and more. It’s the birth of a multi-faceted franchise.

    Chris gives us a peek into Minute Men’s origins, reveals his challenges and triumphs, the important role collaboration and marketing played, and how AI has influenced the creative process.

  • IP (Intellectual Property) vs. Stories: The War of Filmmaking

    IP (Intellectual Property) vs. Stories: The War of Filmmaking
    2025/09/16
    Franchises, remakes, adaptations... Hollywood’s obsessed with intellectual properties -- IP-driven projects based on novels, graphic novels, video games or successful movies. It’s great for established creators but bad news for independent filmmakers.

    Studios these days won’t invest in projects without proven IP—projects that come with A-list actors, directors, or producers attached to them. But are IP-generated movies what audiences really want?

    On this episode of The Wrapbook Podcast, co-hosts Jonathan Sanger and Daniel Brea unpack how the industry’s obsession with intellectual property impacts how independent artists tell stories, and why actors, writers, and producers should think out of the box to mine story ideas from unexpected sources.
