- Adam Rosenberg has been appointed head of film at Big Shot Pictures, where he will oversee feature film development and production and lean on the company's multi-year deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment.
- Rosenberg co-founded Modern Magic and produced the animated film "Goat" for Sony Pictures Animation before joining Big Shot.
- Rosenberg spent ten years as co-president of production at MGM, executive producing "Creed III" and overseeing "Candyman," "Respect" and "The Magnificent Seven," and earlier worked as an assistant to Scott Rudin and as SVP at Spyglass.
- Big Shot Pictures acquired the "Eloise" franchise earlier this year and took a $25 million stake in "Alvin and the Chipmunks" through a joint venture with Bagdasarian Productions.
- Big Shot is in pre-production on an anime series written and produced by "One Piece" showrunner Matt Owens, signaling expansion beyond live-action family features.
- Founder Brian Robbins called Rosenberg "a dynamic creative force with a stellar track record," tying the hire to the studio's "forward-thinking digital vision" for family audiences.
Why it matters: Rosenberg's decade of franchise experience at MGM, including steering "Creed III" and the "Candyman" and "Magnificent Seven" reboots, gives Big Shot a seasoned development lead as it builds out a family-focused slate under its Sony deal, evidenced by the recent Eloise acquisition, the $25 million Alvin and the Chipmunks stake and an anime series in pre-production.
