John Orloff, the co-creator of Apple TV+ miniseries Masters of the Air, has recently signed with UTA for representation across all areas. This decision follows Orloff's previous signing with Verve for representation earlier this year, coinciding with the launch of his war drama in January. However, in February, Verve faced internal turmoil among its partners, leading to the removal of founding partner Bill Weinstein and causing disruptions for several clients.
Brian K. Vaughan, a renowned comics author and screenwriter, also made a move to UTA in March, following a trend of industry shifts. Orloff's notable works include the adaptation of Mariane Pearl's memoir, A Mighty Heart, into a 2007 drama featuring Angelina Jolie and produced by Brad Pitt. His screenplay for this project earned him an Independent Spirit Award nomination for best first screenplay.
