Overview

• Under the agreement, Mangold will develop, direct and produce feature films for the Skydance-owned studio.
• High Side is first up, reuniting Mangold with Timothée Chalamet on a motorcycle heist story based on Jaime Oliveira’s unpublished short, with Oliveira adapting.
• Peter Chernin and David Ready of Chernin Entertainment will produce alongside Mangold’s Turnpike Films.
• Paramount previously won High Side in a highly competitive bidding war under the new leadership team.
• The deal is the studio’s first filmmaker pact since the Skydance merger, joining recent moves like a four-year Duffer Brothers agreement and a live-action Call of Duty film arrangement with Activision.
