Space Samurai — Partnership Update

Angelic Pictures announces:

2 Down & 2 Left: How Movie Business Works With Partners

SOME BRANDS ARE CONFUSED:

Many brands think they’re dealing with the film industry, asking questions that regular companies would readily have available. But we’re actually in the Movie Business—and due to Anti-Trust Laws, there’s a vast difference between films for the film industry and movies for the movie business.

Angelic Pictures is an established, qualified Vendor-Affiliate with a pre-existing output distribution deal already in place with Universal Studios.

There’s a difference between a “Gentleman’s Agreement” and a “Signed Agreement”—both are binding, just as there are vastly different meanings for the word “contract” when used by J. Edgar Hoover (highly decorated FBI head) versus Al Capone (notorious gangster convicted only on tax evasion).

IMPORTANT BUSINESS PRINCIPLE:

We’re finalizing partnerships with technology brands integrating products in the trilogy that aren’t fully developed yet—just like the Star Trek Enterprise starship, transporters, communicators, and food replicators that were only conceived in the producer’s mind.

PARTNERSHIP STATUS UPDATE:

We’re now down to 2 finalists. Both are Made in USA companies:

T1 Phone (new company, never dealt with before)
Apple (6-movie relationship evolving to “Brand Partner” status with opening credits plus exclusivity)

This follows our established pattern:

2000-2006: Non-exclusive partnerships (Compact Computers, Apple, Qualcomm PDA)
2007-2016: Exclusive Apple arrangement across five movies
2025: New exclusive partnership with Trump Phone or Apple iPhone

MARKET PRECEDENTS JUSTIFY PREMIUM PRICING:

“You’ve Got Mail” (1998): $10 million for AOL exclusive placement
“Big Daddy” (1999): $6 million for Hooters exclusive placement
“Air” (2023): $55 million for Nike Air Jordan exclusive placement
Apple iPhone revenue: $201.1 billion in 2024 (51% of Apple’s total revenue)
USB Flash Drive Market: $10.12 billion market with 500+ million units sold annually

COMPETITION FOR EXCLUSIVITY:

Apple iPhone and Trump Phone are the two remaining candidates interested in exclusive technology positioning for Space Samurai. Only one brand can have exclusive rights in this category.

Other sectors are also inquiring: The aerospace community is looking to become production partners.

The first company to wire funds and sign the agreement secures exclusive partnership positioning.

PARTNERSHIP PACKAGE INCLUDES:

Opening credit placement as “Produced by”
Exclusive technology category positioning (phones, tablets, thumb-drives, backup drives, chips—all digital/hardware technology)
Two acting roles to assign to employees or contest winners
Product placement across all three movies
Opening Credit Format:

Universal Studios

INTEGRATION BENEFITS:

Permission to use Space Samurai characters and imagery in marketing materials (similar to Star Wars partnerships with Taco Bell, Doritos, Pepsi-Cola, Jurassic Park, Avengers, Top Gun: Maverick, and James Bond)

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR OTHER BRANDS:

Technology category exclusivity is about to be secured. Other tech brands interested in Space Samurai will need to consider non-exclusive positioning or alternative categories.

THE LESSON:

Whether you’re developing revolutionary new products or enhancing existing ones, movies provide the platform to showcase your brand’s future potential—not just what exists today.

PRODUCTION TIMELINE:

Shooting begins Summer 2025. Technology integrations must be finalized before production starts.

REMAINING OPPORTUNITIES:

Other exclusive category partnerships are still available across automotive, consumer goods, hospitality, aerospace, and financial services sectors.
