Lerkot Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Veteran studio executive Joe Pichirallo is joining Will Smith's production company Overbrook Entertainment, according to Smith and his partner James Lassiter. Pichirallo will take on the new position as head of film production and development, overseeing the company's motion picture slate, which boasts more than 20 projects in development. Smith and Lassiter were attracted by Pichirallo's strong track record and "eye for material," they said. Pichirallo hopes to grow the company, which has a first-look deal at Sony Pictures Entertainment. After 11 years as a studio executive, including stints as one of the founding executives of Fox Searchlight and more recently as executive vp at Focus Features, Pichirallo was "ready to help lead a production company," he said. "The opportunity to work with Will and James was irresistible." More time for Will to make music :2thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
