Brunetti to Lead Film & TV Production at Relativity, Spacey Bows Out

LOS ANGELES: Relativity Media, which has now completed the financial arrangements necessary to emerge from Chapter 11, has confirmed that Dana Brunetti will be president of production, though Kevin Spacey will no longer be involved.

Relativity has filed the necessary documents and believes it has met the conditions required by Judge Wiles of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York for the company to emerge from Chapter 11.

Brunetti will serve as president of production, working across film and TV. Spacey, who was previously tapped to serve as chairman, will no longer be taking up that post.

Additionally, the company has concluded a deal with Trigger Street.

“I’ve joined Relativity for the opportunity to build a studio and to continue on a larger level with the type of projects, ideas, and forward thinking that’s proven successful at Trigger Street,” said Brunetti. “Bringing our mindset to the existing architecture at Relativity is a logical next step. It’s an exciting time both at the studio and the industry as a whole, and I look forward to taking the helm to help steer the ship on its new course.”

“We are thrilled to have Dana and the Trigger Street team at the creative helm of Relativity. Their track record speaks for itself and is one of the most exciting steps forward for the company,” said a Relativity spokesperson. “Having developed and produced such successful content as Captain Phillips, Fifty Shades of Grey, The Social Network, 21 and House of Cards to name a few, Dana brings a whole new level of creative success to Relativity. We are equally as excited to have closed a deal on Trigger Street, grateful for Kevin’s support in this deal and that he was a driving force in closing the deal.”
