Paramount Pictures (PSKY) and Warner Music Group (WMG) have announced a multi-year, first-look deal. “The companies will partner on theatrical films, drawing on the lives and music of WMG’s legendary and contemporary roster of iconic artists and songwriters. WMG and its production partner, Unigram, led by Amanda Ghost and Gregor Cameron, will work with Paramount to develop each project in collaboration with the artists and songwriters or their estates,” they stated. Robert Kyncl, CEO of Warner Music Group, said: “This collaboration with Paramount unites two forward-looking and innovative companies, and together we’re taking a fresh approach to the space. Every artist deserves to tell the stories behind their life and music in their own creative way, and we’re excited to partner with our incredible talent and world-class filmmakers to bring these stories to the big screen, growing their audiences around the world.”
