Justin Lin Signs First-Look Deal With Sony Pictures TV

Posted on September 5, 2011 by Mihee

From Deadline: “On the heels of Justin Lin signing a two-year production deal with Universal Pictures for his newly formed company Barnstorm Pictures, the Fast Five director has inked his first TV pact — a first-look deal with Sony Pictures TV. Under the agreement, Lin will develop series projects for the studio and will also direct a pilot this coming season subject to feature availability.” It is so awesome to see such a creative producer who is Asian American become almost ubiquitous in his work – mainstream and appealing to the larger population. It’ll be interesting to see how it transfers to the”small screen.
