By Scott Stuber, the former head of film at Netflix, has set a multi-year film partnership with Amazon MGM Studios.
As part of this new first-look pact, the company will finance and release movies from Stuber’s new production company under the once-famed United Artists label.
The agreement will see Stuber and his production company handling several films annually to be released both theatrically and via Prime Video.
In addition, Stuber will be involved in all projects released by the new UA. Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon MGM Studios says in a statement:
“With his proven track record of delivering global hits and an eye towards theatrical fare, Scott’s expertise and vision align perfectly with our film strategy. We are so proud to welcome him to our lot and partner with him on the relaunch of the legendary UA brand, as we work to leverage existing and new IP into big, broad films that resonate with worldwide audiences.”
Stuber was the one able to enlist top directors like Scorsese, Camption and Cuaron to create films for the Netflix service during his stint there. He left in January with producer Dan Lin replacing him.
