Scott Stuber Closes Deal To Revive United Artists
deadline.comUPDATED: Amazon MGM has confirmed the Scott Stuber hire. Find their release below Deadline’s break on the story. PREVIOUSLY, 7:55 AM PT: Former Netflix Chairman Film and Universal Vice Chairman Scott Stuber is near a deal to revive United Artists under the Amazon MGM umbrella, sources said.
Stuber left in January, though he stayed on a bit to help the transition that led to former Warner Bros exec Dan Lin taking the film reins at the streamer.
Stuber was expected to form his own company, and Deadline revealed that his first project would be Deliver Me From Nowhere. That is the Scott Cooper-directed film that will star Emmy winning The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen.
