Career
In March 2007, veteran producer Lynda Obst and Marc Rosen partnered to form Rosen-Obst Productions, a film and television production company. Georgeville Entertainment currently has feature film deals with a variety of Major Studios and other financiers, and a television deal at CBS/Paramount Television, where they have successfully set up 14 scripted network and 6 cable shows in 2 years, setting a record.[1]
Before joining Rosen-Obst, in May 2002 Rosen founded the Los Angeles branch of Heyday Films, based at Warner Bros. He continues to produce a feature slate including: The Exec (director Chris Nolan, written by Jonah Nolan), Unique (director David Goyer), Yucatan (written by Paul Scheuring, story by Steve McQueen), The Odyssey, and the book series Here There Be Dragons (with David Goyer), for which he developed the original book concept and outline with the author. Additionally, he is working with D.C. Comics on their properties DMZ, The Demon, and Orbiter. At Heyday, Rosen was also responsible for creating Heyday Films Television Division, which had a two-year exclusive deal at Warner Brothers Television, off the heels of his series Threshold on CBS.
Prior to Heyday, Rosen founded the feature film division of Landscape Entertainment and served there for a year before Landscape's merger with Artisan. Exiting Landscape, Rosen put into place (with Société Générale and Crédit Lyonnais) a $500million film fund in partnership with Tribeca Films and Vivendi-Universal, prior to Vivendi's collapse. Additionally taking the time to form his own shingle, Georgeville Entertainment, before joining Heyday, Rosen spent some time putting together indie efforts like The Dwarf, based on the Nobel Prize-winning novel, which is for 2009 production with David Gordon Green (with Peter Dinklage directing), Nike (starring Javier Bardem), and the features listed above, on which he continues to serve as a Producer. Additionally, Rosen is still producing several films with David Heyman, as well as his own projects currently in development.
