Exclusive: Following critical acclaim that recently earned him multiple accolades including a SAG nomination, Nicholas Hoult is looking to stay in business with The Great producers for the long haul. Hoult has signed a first-look television deal with MRC Television and Civic Center Media via his newly formed production company, Dead Duck Films. He also named film and TV producer Whitaker Lader, coming off an overall producing deal at Ron Howard and Brian Grazer’s Imagine Entertainment, to lead the company.
“I have always loved the creative process of filmmaking, from start to finish and feel so lucky to have learned from the amazingly talented people I have worked with over the years,” Hoult said. “I’m thrilled to be launching this company, and to be embarking on this journey alongside such brilliant partners.”
The first project in development under the banner’s deal with the leading independent studio is Wildfire Johnny.
