Entertainment One Ltd.
Multi year production deal with Mark Gordon
Further to the Company's announcement on 6 June 2019,
Entertainment One is pleased to re-confirm that Mark Gordon will
continue to develop and produce content for the Group, through a
multi-year producing deal to create premium content for eOne,
across all platforms.
Following the successful integration of The Mark Gordon Company,
which was fully acquired by eOne in 2018 after the Company took a
majority position in 2015, Gordon shifts from his President &
Chief Content Officer, Film & Television, role at eOne and will
focus his time on developing and producing content for the Group.
Steve Bertram, eOne's President of Film & Television, will
assume full leadership and oversight of the day-to-day management
of the Film & Television business working closely with Peter
Micelli, Chief Strategy Officer, Film & Television and Nick
Meyer, President, Film.
The future premium content from Gordon will complement eOne's
already broad global production and development slate and further
augment the Group's robust network of producer relationships and
owned content. Alongside the future content, heritage series from
The Mark Gordon Company remain with eOne, with Gordon executive
producing.
Darren Throop, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"In today's rapidly expanding market, content has become the
greatest differentiator and Mark Gordon is one of the best content
producers in the business. Our shift towards content production has
continued to bear fruit and position eOne for ongoing success
across film and television. We believe our position in the market
will be even stronger with Mark solely focused on creating content
for eOne and look forward to working together for years to
come."
Mark Gordon added:
"I'm proud of what we have built together over the past four
years and I look forward to continuing my incredibly successful
relationship with eOne. The continuing support from Darren to
invest in high-quality content will allow us to build on the strong
foundation we have laid in a market where the global appetite for
premium content is voracious."
