“It’s definitely going to shake everything up in Hollywood,” Tom Nunan, a lecturer at UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, said of the acquisition upon its announcement last year. “It’s asking the question: Is bigger necessarily better?” latimes.com/entertainment-…
The deal gives CAA access to ICM’s lucrative publishing business and its top clients, including #GreysAnatomy creator Shonda Rhimes, actor Samuel L. Jackson, director Spike Lee and Ellen DeGeneres. latimes.com/entertainment-…
CAA's co-chairmen said the deal positions them “better than ever to deliver extraordinary opportunities for many of the world’s preeminent artists, athletes, thought leaders, brands, and organizations in entertainment, sports, and culture.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
