Rothman added that Gabler and Murray are “the gold standard at their respective jobs and I am overjoyed that we will all be working together in this very forward-looking partnership.” It’s worth noting that while the deal stipulates that the material being adapted will be from HarperCollins, Gabler and her team aren’t limited to only use HarperCollins titles.
“For the past two decades our division has thrived by building a film slate based principally on adaptations of literary properties, both fiction and non-fiction. We have always felt that HarperCollins is part of our family and it is now an honor and a privilege to create a true partnership with Brian Murray and his amazing global team. The only person I know who could have made this a reality with Brian is my mentor, friend, and inspiration, Tom Rothman, and my team and I are deeply grateful for the opportunity to become part of the powerhouse that is Sony Pictures Entertainment.”
