Garland King Studios is a company in Just Cause 4.

Description[]

It's an American movie producing company, owned and run by Garland King. Rico can complete stunts as sidemissions for them.

Spoiler warning: Significant plot details follow.

As explained in the mission Garland King's New Star, the company had difficulty obtaining permits from the Solino Film Association, so Garland decided to take the company underground by faking her death. This way the company has officially dissolved, or ceased operating in Solís, and the authorities pay less attention to the film crew, allowing them the opportunity to continue producing their action film illegally. It's unclear how long this ruse works though. Garland herself says it "should buy me a few hours."

The Solís Hoy radio also mentions them in a rumors segment, where the hosts are impressed with what they've heard about the stunts, but fear that the illegal film crew will be arrested.

Garland hires Rico as the main stuntman. Later he becomes the star.

They have their own company vehicles. See the list below.

According to one of the loading screens: "Garland King Studios is an overworked crew of fanatics. Turnover may be high, but those who remain are fiercely loyal."

Members[]

Garland King - Owner and boss.
Charlie - Guy who writes the movie plots. Garland hates this guy's ideas and just wants to add more random stunts (and frogs) that don't fit into the existing plot.
Henry Hong is a location scout. He's worked at the company for 10 years. He started work as a stuntman and gets called "The Invincible Henry Hong" by Garland. He's featured in one of the random encounters called "Driving Mr. Hong".
- He can be killed. However, this results in the player failing the encounter.
Terry - Guy who puts scenes on the screen. He's mentioned at the end of Cut During The Chase.
Many random workers like cameramen, drivers, assistants, ...
Several square-jawed stuntmen.
- Rico.
- Those who drive the cars in the missions "Car on car".
- Driver in the mission Scene: Jewel In The Sun. He's from Hollywood.
- One of the drivers is a woman.

Movies[]

"Space Station Zero" - This is a science fiction movie. A poster of it can be seen in the mission César's Theory, indicating that César is likely a fan of it (or maybe it inspired/supports his alien theories). Some of the crewmembers have the same picture on their shirts and Garland has a badge with the title and a different picture on her jacket. As mentioned during Cut During The Chase, Garland had to cut this movie herself and she did so under poor work conditions.
"Road Rage: The Movie" - The name is seen on the shirts of the film crew and on one of Garland's badges.
The missions Scene: Jewel In The Sun and Scene: The Dawnflower are about making a movie about Rico's life. This movie is finished during the mission Cut During The Chase. Options for the title are discussed (Garland comes up with "Revenge of the Scorpion" and Rico with "The Army of Chaos" which Garland hates), but the final one is not revealed.
- During the mission Cut During The Chase she also films a part of the making-of for the "extended edition" of the above movie.
"K4" - Mentioned by Garland during Cut During The Chase.
"Koreatown" - According to one of the loading screens: "Garland King released her first gorey thriller, Koreatown, at the age of 21. Panned by critics at release, it has since become a cult classic."
"Koreatown 2 - Fury of the Fists" - Mentioned by Henry Hong.
"Garland King's MacBeth" which she filmed in the Bahamas - Mentioned by Henry Hong.
"The Strangler" - Henry Hong explains that this was originally supposed to be her first romantic comedy but Garland realized part way through that the guy in the movie was actually stalking the girl, calling it terrifying instead of romantic, so she changed a couple things and turned it into something else (the genre isn't revealed but it's probably a thriller, crime or horror movie).
"Lake Pleasant" - Henry tells Rico that the first scene of this movie is actually him screaming through the Oxbow they filmed at because an aggressive grizzly came out of nowhere and chased him while he and Garland were scouting the area. Garland filmed this and apparently there was awards talk for this "performance".
Some kind of a project is being worked on at El Qisa. Garland King herself can be met there during freeroam.
Possibly more.

100 x Garland King Studios Van. Their number is mentioned in Cut During The Chase.
Several Emsavion Utility Helis, used for filming during the missions. It has the GKS Faction colors and symbols.
- One is easy to hijack at the end of Scene: Vanessaaaa!, but be careful: That canyon has strong wind and the helicopter hovers right next to a bridge. Make sure you don't crash your car into it.
- Many of them can actually be found by backtracking the routes the player has to take during the "Scene:" missions.
Several sports cars, buggies and other vehicles used during missions. Full list needed.

Trivia[]

As shown in this video, they were first called "Flashbang Studios".
In addition to that Garland has a triangular pin or badge on the collar of her jacket that says "Flashbang Pictures" under the grenade logo. This appears to be an even earlier idea for the company name during game development. An in-game explanation could be that Garland took over and/or renamed a pre-existing company.
