One wrinkle of that era was how they even had their own stable of actors working for them exclusively. The new vertical integration doesn't seem to be going that far down. I imagine there's not as much interest in that, and actors have a powerful union now.
- ajaimk 5y agoThat’s kinda happening now too but with directors that have signed first look deals with VOD providers.
- salamanderman 5y agoFirst look deals with production companies never went away. The first one coming to mind is The Weinstein company had a first look deal with Disney (yes, Disney turned down lord of the rings).
- ipaddr 5y agoNot surprising. I can't see how that would help their brand.
- croon 5y agoI'm bad at name dropping, but I atleast know of Adam Sandler and Shonda Rhimes signing exclusivity deals. I'm sure there are many more examples.
