DC Entertainment Shakeup: Geoff Johns Exits for Writing and Producing Deal
DC Entertainment president and chief creative officer Geoff Johns — who went from authoring comic books to having a major hand in the making of movies and television shows based on famous heroes — is stepping down from his executive post and entering into an exclusive writer-producer deal with Warner Bros. and DC, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.Of note, this comes right after Diane Nelson left the president post last week, after a 3 month leave.Johns is launching Mad Ghost Productions, a new banner that will see him work on content for films, television and comic books, and have his hand in current DC properties as well as new and reimagined creations.
At the same time, current DC Entertainment publisher Jim Lee will assume the chief creative officer position, taking on the duties while continuing to act as publisher with Dan DiDio. The two have jointly held the post since 2010.
I wonder what’s going on over there.
I feel like the entire DCEU saga behind-the-scenes would be a hell of a book one day.
