Gunpowder & Sky, the roughly one-year-old digital studio founded by former top execs from Viacom and Endemol -- Van Toffler and Floris Bauer, respectively -- have acquired Supergravity Pictures, which is behind films like The Chosen and Gayby Baby, for an undisclosed sum.
Gunpowder & Sky initially tendered an equity investment in Supergravity in July 2015, and the two companies announced plans to co-produce a slasher film called Skate Or Die last June. Gunpowder and Supergravity are also teaming on a project called Team Nocuous, about the world of competitive gaming, in collaboration with the Fine Brothers and others.

That's because the actor's chiseled, shirtless physique and charming smile are both on display in a video that shows Chris riding a skateboard up a small ramp. Chris jokingly captioned the clip, "Risking my life on the vertical ramp. Go big or go home. Skate or die. Huge risk! Yeoooow... #Xgames #extreme #lifeontheline."
