Warners is wild - not only about Harry - but Lionel, too
EXCLUSIVE: FishbowlLA has just learned that Warner Bros. Pictures is so pleased with the Herculean efforts of executive VP of theatrical production Lionel Wigram, that he’s being rewarded with a Warner’s based first look-producing deal.
“What?!” you exclaim, “Leaving?!”
Decidedly not: It’s not just any deal, insiders say. It’s flexible, allowing Wigram to develop and produce his own movies while still keeping his Warner’s gig overseeing its insanely lucrative “Harry Potter” franchise. Wigram has supervised the studio’s kiddie money-machine since 2001 (starting with “& the Sorcerer’s Stone”) and still does today (“& the Goblet of Fire”).
