Tom Rothman hasn't had a studio job for nearly a year, but the former Fox Filmed Entertainment Chairman and CEO said spending a few months outside the Hollywood echo-chamber has filled him with a renewed enthusiasm for the movie business.
It's an industry he finds himself embracing once more — thanks to a new partnership with Sony Pictures that will see him reinvigorating the TriStar brand. As part of the joint venture, Rothman will be tasked with fielding four movies a year and developing television programming. He will report to Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO and Chairman Michael Lynton and Co-Chairman Amy Pascal.
