Founding

[edit]

The Picture Company was founded in 2014 by film veterans Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman. Rona is a former president at Silver Pictures and Rogue Pictures, and Heineman was an EVP at Silver Pictures.[2]

The company began in 2014 with a first-look deal with StudioCanal.[1] The company achieved its first theatrical releases with Jaume Collet-Serra's The Commuter, Albert Hughes' Alpha, and Sam Taylor-Johnson's A Million Little Pieces. StudioCanal would later go on to buy a minority stake in The Picture Company in 2023 and ink a new five-year overall deal with the company.[3]

Future projects

Since September 2014, The Picture Company has announced several projects which have not yet been realised, including the adaptation of Mitch Swenson's The Tracking Of A Russian Spy, for which Nima Nourizadeh replaced Pierre Morel as director and Logan Lerman and Olivia Cooke were in talks to star.[4][5] Also announced were Nottingham & Hood, a Pirates Of The Caribbean-style Robin Hood movie for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures,[6] a second sequel to Escape from New York for 20th Century Fox,[7][8][9] as well as the movie version of David-Jan Bronsgeest's short film Meet Jimmy, with Platinum Dunes also producing for Paramount Pictures.[10] Also pending are Harry Bradbeer's film The Paris Trap, for StudioCanal[11] and David Bruckner's film Out There, for Entertainment One.[12]
