Hi, my game idea is in very early stage, I really don't want to go the distance developing too many details, which will only be relevant for this game in particular, if I can't use the franchise's images and/or story.
My question is, how do people get copyrights to big names like BSG, Game of thrones etc?, or do I try to develop the prototype with the images and story regardless,and then try to sell it to fox directly? Thanks for your help.
