Talaria Media has announced the addition of three new projects to its development pipeline, showcasing the creative talents of rising writer Jamie Anderson. Anderson is set to direct the wrestling drama Arygoto Tokyo, a project that follows the story of aging wrestling superstar Annie Able as she embarks on a journey to reignite a famous feud in Tokyo. The script, penned by Mark Blutman, promises an engaging narrative that explores themes of resilience and unlikely connections.
Another project on Talaria's roster is Good Egg, a female empowerment story set in the mid-1800s. Based on the true story of Elizabeth Blackwell, the plot revolves around a trailblazer fighting for recognition in a male-dominated field as she pursues a medical degree in the U.S. The project is expected to deliver a compelling narrative of perseverance and determination.
On the television front, Anderson is the creative force behind Leap Frog, a single-camera comedy inspired by her relationship with her veteran father. Drawing from the experiences shared in the book Unsealed by former Navy SEAL Mark Greene, the series follows a retired Navy SEAL navigating the challenges of civilian life while working at a spiritual center alongside his estranged daughter. The show aims to blend humor with poignant themes of adaptation and family dynamics.
Talaria founder Bobby Morgan expressed enthusiasm for collaborating with Anderson, emphasizing the company's commitment to storytelling that uplifts and inspires. The projects in development reflect a focus on grit, resilience, and injecting humor into challenging subjects, aligning with Talaria's overarching narrative philosophy.
In addition to these new ventures, Talaria's slate includes Sigma Force, a TV show in development at Amazon in partnership with Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way. The company's track record boasts a diverse range of projects, from the Catherine Hardwicke feature Prisoner’s Daughter to the Emmy-nominated documentary The Great Debate featuring Charles Barkley, and the sports documentary Saving the Roar, which delves into the story of the 2012 Penn State Football team.
