Timothée Chalamet is now in the Warner Bros business for the long haul.
News broke that the actor has penned a deal with Warner Bros Motion Picture Group, signing for a multi-year first-look feature film deal as an actor and producer.
This is no surprise if you’re following the box office as of late, with his two latest releases for the studio (Wonka, Dune: Part Two) having delivered $1.6 billion collectively. Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group co-chairs and CEOs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy were behind the deal.
Said De Luca and Abdy, “Over the last few years, we have admired not only Timothée’s commitment to his craft, which is evident in the range and depth of his varied roles, but also his unwavering dedication to give 100% of his time and attention to every project he has made here at Warner Bros. and elsewhere. His collaboration on the campaigns for Dune and Wonka is something we all enjoyed immensely, and the results speak for themselves. We continue to build for the future of the theatrical film business at Warner Bros. Discovery and are thrilled Timothée has chosen our studio to be his creative home.”
Chalamet adds, “Working with Mike De Luca, Pam Abdy, and their teams on Wonka and Dune over these last few years has been a deeply rewarding experience. These are studio heads who believe in real movie-making, and I’m so grateful for their support as an actor, producer, and collaborator. This partnership feels like a natural next step. Let’s go!”
