Legendary Wins 7-Figure Auction For Short Story ‘Byall;’ ‘Creed II’s Stephen Caple Jr Directs, Juel Taylor & Tony Rettenmeier Scripting

Legendary has just closed a seven-figure deal in an electric 11 suitor auction for Byall, a short story that has Creed II director Stephen Caple Jr attached to helm. It will be adapted by Creed II co-writer Juel Taylor and Tony Rettenmeier. That duo, who are scripting Space Jam 2, wrote the short story that got the whole town hot and bothered.

Byall is a 10 page story set in the future in Los Angeles. Imagine a world in which there is no more LAPD, and the resulting aftermath of that. It has been called Collateral meets The Warriors.

I can see people *****ing about it being a pro-police state propaganda or something. But these kinda stories are always subverted.

This new development is also kind of like a conclusive evidence that Creed II is very good.

Steven Caple Jr. lands this new gig even before the receipts from his debut are out so the big studios must be happy with his output.
