UTA announces a reorganization of its Filmed Entertainment Division, streamlining how it leads film, television and talent operations. Multiple outlets report that longtime agency executive Matt Rice is elevated to president of the newly structured Filmed Entertainment unit.
Variety and Deadline describe the move as reflecting broader industry trends in which responsibilities across film, TV and talent roles increasingly overlap. Deadline adds that Rice previously leads UTA’s TV department, and both Variety and Deadline frame his promotion as part of a broader leadership alignment. The Hollywood Reporter says the change also includes additional newly elevated managing partners and the creation of a Filmed Entertainment board.
Across the coverage, the emphasis is on organizational restructuring rather than specific client or project decisions. While the outlets differ slightly in the focus—some highlighting Rice’s past role and others detailing the expanded leadership team and governance—each source reports the same core outcome: a new leadership structure for UTA’s Filmed Entertainment operations, with Rice as its president.
