Overview
- Under the agreement, Trachtenberg will develop, direct, and produce feature films with his producing partner Ben Rosenblatt.
- This marks a return to the studio where he made his feature debut with 10 Cloverfield Lane in 2016.
- The move follows Trachtenberg’s recent run revitalizing Predator, including Badlands, which earned $184.5 million worldwide and is the franchise’s top-grossing entry.
- Because Disney’s 20th Century Studios controls Predator, Trachtenberg’s new Paramount commitments could limit his immediate involvement with future Yautja projects, though first-look deals do not automatically bar outside work.
- Paramount’s leadership, now under co-chairs Josh Greenstein and Dana Goldberg, has been signing high-profile filmmakers as part of a broader push to rebuild its theatrical slate.
