Bad Robot has hired TriStar Pictures and TriStar Television president Hannah Minghella as Head of Motion Pictures. In the new role she will steer the film division of JJ Abrams’ company, and she will work in partnership with chairman and CEO Abrams and co-ceo Katie McGrath, to whom she will report.
The move, which just broke, comes just more than a month after Bad Robot closed a five-year mega-deal to keep its TV business and move its film business under the WarnerMedia umbrella. The wide-ranging pact, which runs through 2024, includes games and digital content. On the movie side, it also means the company will be developing original theatrical films for the divisions of the Warner Bros. Pictures Group including Warner Bros and New Line Cinema. Those relationships will now be a key focus for Minghella.
“It is, essentially, a dream come true to welcome Hannah to Bad Robot,” Abrams said in a release Thursday.
