United Artists Revived By Cruise/Wagner
Source: Variety
MGM unit will produce four pics a year
Nearly a century after United Artists was founded as a studio run by artists, it’s being reborn under the same auspices.
U.A. is being revived and will be run by Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner, with Wagner serving as chief operating officer of U.A. and Cruise to star in and produce pics for the label, a unit of MGM.
Cruise and Wagner will control the development, production and greenlighting of U.A. films, though will be subject to certain parameters.
Tom Cruise is pretty much the touch of death these days in my book. At least UA was already dead.
