:: A '''development deal''' is an arrangement made between a movie studio or production company. Under the deal, the studio or other financier agrees to pay the costs of developing on or more projects for a writer, producer, or director; to the point where they are ready to be financed and go into production.The funding for development deals can come from different sources. During development, the producer is doing things like acquiring options and possibly rights to underlying materials (e.g. a book), working with the writer to develop the script, talking with agents about key cast, looking for a director (if one isn't already on board), talking with financiers. |

In some cases deferred payments might be made. in which case cast or crew would only get paid from revenues generated from a complete film in order to keep production cost low. |
