Updated: Longtime Universal Pictures production executive Jeffrey Kirschenbaum is leaving the studio to rejoin an old producing partner, Joe Roth.
Kirschenbaum, who was Universal’s co-president of production, and Roth, a veteran producer and executive, worked together last on “Snow White and the Huntsman.” The duo will be reunited as Roth brings the 2012 film’s sequel to the bigscreen.
The new venture will be called Roth/Kirschenbaum Films. Roth made the move to take on the new partner just about a week after losing creative partner Palak Patel to Sony Pictures. Patel took a job as an executive vice president for production under Tom Rothman and Doug Belgrad at the Culver City studio.
In Kirschenbaum, Roth gets a partner who has been associated with many big event films, including installments in the “Fast & Furious” and “Bourne” franchises. Kirschenbaum joined Universal as a director of development in 2001. He became VP of production...
