Neal M. Moritz expands his deal with Columbia Pictures
"We have been working together with Neal H. Moritz for nearly 15 years and over that time, we have partnered with him and his team on more than 20 films, most recently with The Green Hornet and Battle: Los Angeles," Doug Belgrad said. "He is simply one of the best and most prolific producers in the business. He knows what audiences want and is completely dedicated to delivering hits that audiences worldwide consistently enjoy while being fully conscious to bring his projects in on budget and on time."
"Neal H. Moritz is an important member of the Sony Pictures family and the kind of producer you want in your corner. He has terrific taste for stories that excite the imagination of audiences everywhere. We have established a level of trust and confidence in him that can only come from the kind of long term success we have shared together for so many years," said Amy Pascal, co-chairman, Sony Pictures Entertainment
Neal H. Moritz added, "Sony has been my home almost since I first started producing and I couldn't ask for a better or more supportive studio partner. Amy Pascal, Michael, Doug Belgrad and the entire production team is first rate. They are truly the best as creative collaborators and problem solvers, and they are backed by Jeff Blake's marketing and distribution team. There is a reason that I continue to call Sony my home and it has everything to do with the pleasure I get from being part of such a great, winning team. Years from now, when I have produced the last film of my career, it will probably be made with my friends at Sony."
