LOS ANGELES, June 30 (UPI) -- U.S. actor George Clooney is taking his production company from Warner Brothers to Sony where he's negotiating a two-year deal, Sony officials say.
Sony Pictures Entertainment Co-Chairman Amy Pascal confirmed Clooney's Smokehouse Pictures is in final negotiations to ditch Warner in a deal that industry sources say illustrates how studios aren't willing to pay "A-list" actor-producers as much in light of declining DVD sales and corporate cutbacks, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
