Sony Uncaps $1.5M Deal For ‘Cola Wars’ In Heated Auction For Coke Vs. Pepsi Saga

Sony has stepped up with a $1.5 million bid to uncap Cola Wars, a movie pitch that tells the true story of Pepsi’s attempt to challenge Coca-Cola’s century-long reign as the world’s top cola, sparking the unforgettable “Cola Wars” of the mid-1980s. This behind-the-scenes account, from Michael Jackson’s fiery mishap to the New Coke debacle, tells the ultimate underdog tale of history’s most iconic second-place contender vying for the No. 1 spot.

The Cola Wars script will be written by Jason Shuman and Ben Queen. Shuman, whose long relationship with Sony was a big factor here, is the co-creator/writer of Apple’s hit show Acapulco, which begins its third season on May 1. He was the executive producer of HBO’s Winning Time, and the producer of 2022’s Oscar-nominated indie To Leslie.

Queen is currently adapting Naomi Novik’s fantasy novel His Majesty’s Dragon as an hourlong series for Fox. He recently adapted the novella A Note of Explanation by Vita Sackville-West for Netflix. He was the writer of Cars 2 and Cars 3 for Pixar, as well as the creator of NBC’s A to Z and Powerless.

The big ending plot twist: RC Cola was manipulating the both of them all along!

The clear winner is Fansville's Dr Pepper (it's not a cola but it's better).

Villa pop’s Sarsaparilla wipes them all out. (Villa was a U.K. brand)

We're gonna have the PCU and the CCCU with Avenger level team up movies.

I was wondering when this would get made. I would be interested! Will Jeff Daniel’s reprise his role from Steve Jobs of John Scullley.

As long as Pepsiman makes an appearance I'm in.

[dallywhitty]

Okay, but is Faye Dunaway gonna be in it?

[jess1581]

Hope this doesn't fizzle critically or financially.

Only reason I’d watch if I’m being perfectly honest.

The RC Cola plot twist would be funny! I had a few RC's way back in the day. I even remember when Arby's served RC cola from the fountain. Mmmmmmm.....
