Apple Seals Movie Deal With Media Mogul Peter Chernin
The producer of Ford v. Ferrari and Back in Action moves from Netflix to Apple
Apple Inc. has signed a deal to release new movies from North Road, the entertainment studio led by media mogul Peter Chernin, indicating the technology giant’s growing ambitions in Hollywood.
The agreement will give Apple first crack at new projects being developed by Chernin, whose company has been aligned with Netflix Inc. for the last five years. North Road’s Chernin Entertainment can still produce films it’s already developing for other studios and has two movies that will soon come out on Netflix: Apex, an action thriller starring Charlize Theron, and 11817, a horror project starring Wagner Moura and Greta Lee.
