Seth Rogen and his Point Grey Pictures swear allegiance to “Dame Donna Langley” (yes, she’s literally a Lady) and agree to be knights in the service of the kingdom of Langley at Universal Pictures.
The production company has signed a first-look film deal with the studio, expanding an existing relationship that brought us the “Neighbors” films, “Good Boys,” and “Blockers.” No specific projects were announced to be in development currently.
Langley appointed Dame Commander of the British Empire through Queen Elizabeth in 2020. The presentation of his medal waited a few years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Point Grey is riding the success of the animated “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” for Paramount, which made $181 million at the global box office. The company has also made two spinoffs of the hit Amazon series “The Boys,” including “The Boys: Gen V” and the recently announced “The Boys: Mexico.” The company’s films collectively have made over $1 billion at the global box office.
Langley makes deals with auteur filmmakers as if they were Pokémon (a tacky analogy that we hope the guys at Point Grey will approve of). Universal has deals with the Daniels’ duet of “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and a few others with Jordan Peele. Langley is close to Steven Spielberg (his Amblin has a first contract with Universal) and everything is smiling at the Golden Globes when Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” swept the charts.
