The man behind the Narnia movie
The American Enterprise: Movie Messiah
Philip Anschutz is no messiah, but he has made it his ambition to lead Hollywood out of a cynical and amoral ice age. Will this self-made Colorado billionaire become modern entertainment’s rescuer, a lion-hearted savior of American film?
Short and sweet version, he is betting that theater revenues suck because Hollywood isn’t making many movies people want to see. So he has been buying theaters and is starting to create his own content. Fascinating story
