Frank Mancuso, the newly appointed chairman of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, is expected to overhaul MGM’s marketing department as part of a plan to pump new life into the battered studio, sources said last week.
It is likely that current MGM marketing and distribution vp Ashley Boone could be among the first to go, primarily because of his close ties to displaced MGM chief Alan Ladd Jr., but also because he has enjoyed nowhere near as strong a marketing reputation as has Mancuso, sources said.
Mancuso, a former chairman of Paramount Pictures, counts among his successes Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Beverly Hills Cop.
It is possible the new chairman has begun to contact candidates for positions including the top marketing post.
