Amazon MGM Studios has closed a three-year first-look film deal with Jake Gyllenhaal’s Nine Stories following the rousing success of his movie Road House on Prime Video, which was the most watched original movie for the studio ever with 50 million global viewers in the pic’s first two weeks.
Under the actor’s new deal, Amazon MGM will have a first look on narrative features Nine Stories intends to produce for both theatrical and streaming.
Prior to the Doug Liman-directed Road House, Gyllenhaal made the movie Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant with Amazon MGM. The pic was released last year in theaters.
Oscar- and Tony-nominated Gyllenhaal founded Nine Stories in 2015 with Riva Marker, a fully capitalized production company dedicated to working with visionary storytellers in all fields. Most recently, Nine Stories produced Antoine Fuqua’s The Guilty, starring Gyllenhaal, which was Netflix’s No. 1 film for more than three weeks.

Many people respect him as an artist, but at least one award-winning writer cannot be described as a fan. When discussing modern music, author Kurt Vonnegut said Dylan was a terrible poet.
Bob Dylan | Michael Kovac/WireImage The young musician described himself as a poet
Dylan was a musician, but he also considered himself a poet. Early in his career, he sought out poet Carl Sandburg to discuss his work. He hadn’t announced he was coming, but Sandburg still politely let Dylan inside when he knocked on his door.
“‘You’re Carl Sandburg,’ Dylan said, not asking. ‘I’m Bob Dylan. I’m a poet, too,'” Anthony Scaduto wrote in Bob Dylan: An Intimate...

It’s a rare film that catches the attention of top diplomats at the United Nations, but such is the case with Hondros.
The documentary about celebrated photojournalist Chris Hondros, who was killed in a mortar attack while on assignment in Libya in 2011, screened at the United Nations headquarters in New York last Friday, with an array of ambassadors and other officials on hand. The screening happened as part of the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists, a Un-coordinated effort to increase awareness of the hundreds of journalists killed around the world in recent years in the performance of their duties.
“It was a beautiful event,” says Hondros executive producer Riva Marker, who introduced the film to dignitaries and invited guests. “It was a room full of people who understand the importance of journalism. You could feel everybody was moved at the end of it.”
