New Regency Productions Names Nathanson President
As expected, Michael Nathanson on Monday was named president and chief executive of Arnon Milchan’s New Regency Productions.
Nathanson, the former worldwide production president at Columbia Pictures, will run day-to-day operations at the independent company, which is located on the Warner Bros. lot. The company plans to increase its output to as many as 15 movies a year.
“This is a great opportunity,” Nathanson said. “I now have the comfort of being a principal architect in almost 15 pictures a year, without the bureaucracy of a big studio system.”
