☆ Wasserman Merges Sports and Entertainment by Buying Brillstein
  + stars: | 2023-09-18 | by ( Brooks Barnes | More About Brooks Barnes | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
For decades, Casey Wasserman has insisted that he would never enter the traditional entertainment business. Film and TV felt too incestuous — his grandfather, Lew Wasserman, reigned as Hollywood’s power broker from the 1960s to the 1990s — and too financially challenged, he would say. Never say never: Mr. Wasserman, 49, on Monday announced that his sports-centered conglomerate, Wasserman, had finalized a deal to buy Brillstein Entertainment Partners, a Hollywood management firm and content production company. Brillstein represents stars like Brad Pitt, Tiffany Haddish, Adam Sandler, Florence Pugh, Rami Malek and Elizabeth Olsen. The lines have blurred a lot more than I think anyone would have expected even five years ago.”

☆ Searching for Someone to Deliver a Hollywood Ending
  + stars: | 2023-07-21 | by ( Brooks Barnes | More About Brooks Barnes | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The 1954 Hollywood classic “On the Waterfront” ends with unionized longshoremen on a dock. All of a sudden, an authoritative man in a fancy suit and a natty hat arrives. But the more the entertainment industry looked, the more it became clear that such a person may no longer exist. Traditional studios and the technology companies that have moved into Hollywood have different cultures and business models. There is no studio elder, respected by both sides, to help broker a deal.”
