C2 Pictures

C2 Pictures was an American independent media-entertainment company that specialized in film and television production. It was founded in 1998 and dissolved in 2008.

History

The company was established in 1998 by Carolco Pictures co-founders Andrew G. Vajna and Mario Kassar. In 1999, VCL Communications and Toho-Towa were attached as partners on the then-upcoming feature film Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. The company assigned Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer the right to co-produce Basic Instinct 2. Both sequels were co-produced by international backer Intermedia.
The company's first production was the action comedy film I Spy. Though this film was the company's first, Kassar and Vajna's initial purpose for forming the new company was to resurrect the Terminator franchise. In 2008, the company fell into dormancy and eventually was dissolved.
