GANNON TO JOIN PATHE PICTURES
MATTHEW Gannon, director of production and development at Fox Searchlight in Los Angeles, is to join UK National Lottery studio franchise Pathe Pictures as head of development.
Whilst at Searchlight Gannon has been an executive on projects including Tamara Jenkins’ Slums Of Beverly Hills, Fina Torres’ Woman On Top and Philip Kaufman’s Quills.
Gannon said that while several of the most original and provocative films of the last few years had been made by European filmmakers, many of them British, he found himself focusing “more and more on this amazing pool of talent while at Searchlight.”
The move comes after Susanna Wyatt, former head of production for HAL Miramax, joined the franchise as head of physical production earlier this month.
Wyatt’s experience covers such films as John Madden’s Mrs Brown, Peter Cattaneo’s The Full Monty and Peter Greenaway’s The Pillow Book.
François Ivernel, managing director of Pathe’s UK operation Pathe Entertainment, and Cameron McCracken, deputy-managing director of Pathe Pictures, made the announcement.
