Rian Johnson and Ram Bergman's production company T-Street has inked a significant two-picture deal with Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group. The deal was facilitated by Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy, who recently assumed the roles of co-chairs and CEOs at the studio in 2022.
This collaboration marks the first partnership between the producers and Warner Bros., following their successful projects with other major studios. Notably, Johnson and Bergman have previously worked on projects such as the acclaimed 'Knives Out' with Lionsgate, the sequel 'Glass Onion' with Netflix, 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' with Disney, and the neo-noir thriller 'Brick' with Focus Features.
While it remains uncertain whether Johnson will direct the upcoming films under the deal, both parties have expressed enthusiasm about the partnership. Johnson and Bergman praised Warner Bros. Discovery as an ideal platform for showcasing original storytelling and enhancing the theatrical experience for audiences worldwide.
As producers, T-Street has been involved in supporting emerging talents in the industry. They recently backed Chloe Domont's debut film 'Fair Play' and Cord Jefferson's satirical work 'American Fiction,' both of which garnered critical acclaim and commercial success through various distribution channels.
On the television front, T-Street has also made strides with projects like 'Poker Face' and Netflix's '3 Body Problem.' Additionally, the company is gearing up for the production of the highly anticipated third installment of 'Knives Out.'
De Luca and Abdy, who bring a wealth of experience from their tenure at MGM, have been actively shaping Warner Bros.'s future projects. Their recent collaborations include securing deals with industry heavyweights like Tom Cruise and Paul Thomas Anderson, further solidifying the studio's commitment to delivering compelling content to audiences globally.
In light of these developments, De Luca and Abdy expressed their excitement about welcoming Johnson and Bergman into the Warner Bros. family of storytellers. The duo's track record of delivering engaging and entertaining films aligns with the studio's vision for the future of entertainment.
Represented by CAA and attorney Stephen Clark, T-Street's partnership with Warner Bros. signifies a new chapter in the production company's journey, promising innovative and captivating projects for moviegoers around the world.
