WarnerMedia Entertainment CEO Bob Greenblatt is hopeful the company can stick the landing on the reported $500 million deal to keep J.J. Abrams in the fold.
“We hope to keep him in the family,” Greenblatt said Tuesday during a panel with “Big Little Lies” star Laura Dern at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity.
Abrams is closing in a $500 million overall deal with WarnerMedia that will give the media powerhouse a first look at any film, TV show, video games, consumer products and streaming content from Abrams’ Bad Robot outfit, the New York Times reported on Monday. If finalized, the deal would extend a relationship that began as a TV development deal with Warner Bros. in 2006.
