David Baxter Exits Legion M as VP of Development to Launch New Production Banner 

David Baxter, Vice President of Development at Legion M, launched Larger Than Life Entertainment.

Baxter’s new production banner means he has had to step away from Legion M. His new venture will debut with a slate of projects including “Secret Weapon,” a drama/thriller about how Hollywood star Hedy Lamarr invented technology during WWII that became the foundation of today’s wireless world; “My Friend Rosalind,” a series based on Anne Sayre’s biography “Rosalind Franklin & DNA;” pre-war racing film “Nuvolari;” dance-themed comedy “Waiting for Baryshnikov;” gothic horror film “The Raven” and a Dungeons & Dragons themed project called “Murder at Dragon Manor.”

“At Larger Than Life Entertainment, we’re driven by the belief that great stories don’t just entertain, they inspire,” Baxter said in a statement. “Our mission is to create bold, emotionally resonant film and television that captures the imagination and elevates the human experience. We’re here to tell unforgettable stories that stay with you long after the credits roll.”

Baxter, who was a founding employee at Legion M, worked there for nine years. He led the development of the company’s fan-centric programming. The projects he worked on include the horror comedy “Fade to Black,” adult animated series “Tobor: Family Destroyer,” and feature film “Defiant,” which is an adaptation of Rob Edwards’ graphic novel “Defiant: The Robert Smalls Story.”

He arranged and executive produced Legion M’s documentary on William Shatner, called “William Shatner: You Can Call Me Bill,” as well as the dark dramedy  “My Dead Friend Zoe,” “Archenemy” and “The Man In The White Van.” He was also a producer of the graphic novels “The Girl With No Name” and “Defiant: The Story of Robert Smalls.”

Additionally, Baxter serves as a creative consultant on the Broadway-bound “The Boy Who Loved Batman” for producers Robert Nederlander, Jr. and “Batman” franchise originator Michael Uslan.
