Things get white hot… EXT. DACHA OUTSIDE ODESSA - SUNSET One of Vic's men stands guard with an AK-47. INT. LARGE ROOM - DACHA - SUNSET Ahsan stands in front of a huge stone fireplace with David. Victims of hunts over the centuries stare down at them.
It used to be highly common, when they bought original material, rather than only commissioning adaptations of already-existent "popular" Intellectual Property. Usually back then, under 40% of what was bought (never for full price, but optioned against full payment when made, the option depending on the enthusiasm of the buyer) got made. When the Intergalactic Widget-Makers took over, they stopped that.

Thanks for clarifying, someone missed out on a hit.
