Imagine Entertainment marked a trio of significant releases this weekend, helping to spell out Brian Grazer and Ron Howard’s refreshed vision for their content shop after amassing development projects and biding their time through the pandemic.
Lin-Manuel Miranda’s feature directorial debut “Tick, Tick … Boom!” saw a limited theatrical release via distributor Netflix, after dazzling the 2021 AFI Fest a week prior with Andrew Garfield’s leading performance as late “Rent” creator Jonathan Larson.
Additionally, the acclaimed “Julia” from documentarians Julie Cohen and Betsy West hit theaters via CNN Films, chronicling the life of Julia Child. As did “Paper & Glue” from MSNBC Films, about the ambitious and inclusive artist Jr.
Grazer caught up with Variety to discuss the emotional through-line of the releases and what’s up next at Imagine.
Imagine 2.0 has been brewing for a while, especially on the unscripted side. What’s the mission there?
