United Talent Agency? A Little Less So This Morning: Aloni, Lotsa directors to CAA
Comedy is no laughing matter. We are the CAA borg. Prepare to be assimilated.
FISHBOWL L.A. EXCLUSIVE: Hollywood’s talent agents have a rich tradition of trying to nibble the competition to death, rather than swallowing it whole. Today, Creative Artists Agency took another bite out of United Talent Agency, luring over it UTA’s motion picture literary department head and agency partner, Dan Aloni.
Aloni is bringing to CAA a squadron of bigshot directors and writers, many from the comedy world, including Tom Shadyac (“Bruce Almighty,” “Patch Adams” etc.); “Wedding Crashers” director David Dobkin, “Batman Begins” helmer Chris Nolan, Michel Gondry (“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”) Dean Parisot (“the upcoming “Fun With Dick and Jane”).
Aloni also represents Judd Apatow (“The Forty Year Old Virgin”), though it’s not yet clear if Apatow will decamp UTA for CAA as yet.
