Paramount Pictures has signed director and producer Dan Trachtenberg to a three-year first-look directing and producing deal with the studio.
“As a kid I remember seeing the Paramount logo and dreaming of the epic adventure that would follow…now to have the opportunity to bring new huge and emotional stories to giant screens is a literally a dream come true,” Trachtenberg said “Ben and I cannot wait to join Dana, Josh, Don, and the entire Paramount team in pursuing our shared vision of making Paramount once again the apex of cinema.”
Under the deal, Trachtenberg will develop, direct, and produce feature projects with his producing partner Ben Rosenblatt.
“Dan has an extraordinary ability to deliver films that are both daring and deeply entertaining. He has a rare instinct for tension, scale, and storytelling that connects with audiences worldwide. We’re excited to welcome him to the studio,” Said Paramount Pictures Co-Chairs Josh Greenstein and Dana Goldberg.
This marks a big reunion for the two after Trachtenberg launched his career at Paramount with the 2016 hit movie, 10 Cloverfield Lane, which he directed and the studio released
Trachtenberg most recently directed Predator: Badlands for Twentieth Century which was a critical and commercial success and came on the heels of his animated feature Predator: Killer of Killers which was released in June on Hulu. He previously directed Prey which was his first reimagining of the Predator franchise about a young Comanche woman who had to hunt down a Predator in order to save her community. In addition to Co-Producing 10 Cloverfield Lane, Ben Rosenblatt was a producer on the Snowpiercer and Ripley series, in addition to producing Trachtenberg’s Predator franchise films.
