Paramount Pictures and Warner Music Group announce a multi-year first-look deal to develop and partner on theatrical films based on WMG’s roster of artists and songwriters. The companies say the projects will draw on the lives, catalog, and creative material associated with WMG performers, which includes both classic and contemporary acts. Public descriptions of the partnership highlight a range of marquee music figures in WMG’s catalogue, such as Frank Sinatra, Cher, The Eagles, David Bowie, and other artists and songwriters represented by the label. The deal is positioned as an expansion of Paramount’s music-focused film slate following prior releases and interest in music-centric storytelling. Variety reports that, as of the announcement, there are no specific projects identified as being in development. The agreement is structured as a first-look arrangement, meaning Paramount will have the opportunity to review and pursue proposed film concepts tied to WMG’s assets before they are shopped elsewhere. Terms beyond the headline structure and timing are not detailed in the provided coverage.
