Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, under their Kilter Films banner; have just signed a massive deal with Amazon Prime to create original content for their streaming service. This means that they will exit their current contract with Warner Bros; but they will remain writers and executive producers of HBO’s Westworld. The deal will be worth up to !150 million over the next five years, sources say, although; Amazon declined to comment on this news.
Jennifer Salke, the head of Amazon Studios, commented:
“Jonah Nolan and Lisa Joy are two of the most talented and inventive creators in the business. have mastered the art of working in tandem as well as individually on so many fantastic projects across film and television. They each bring their own unique storytelling abilities to the partnership, creating unforgettable characters in addictive and compelling worlds. We are ready to jump right in and can’t wait to deliver their future projects to our Amazon Prime Video audience.”
Nolan and Joy commented:
“We are incredibly excited to begin this new adventure with Amazon Studios. Jennifer Salke’s vision for the future of our business is bold and forward-thinking, and she’s assembled a brilliant creative team to execute it. We can’t wait to dive in to make some bats–t crazy television together. And we’re thrilled to continue our collaboration with our friends and partners at Warner Bros and HBO on ‘Westworld,’ ‘The Peripheral’ and more for seasons to come.”
These two wouldn’t be the first big names to join Amazon Prime, which is really quite impressive that the streaming service can garner such talent. For all my Westworld fans, what do you think about this news?
