TODD BLACK (Producer) most recently produced the inspirational drama Antwone Fisher, directed by and starring Denzel Washington. Through a partnership with director Randa Haines, Black also produced “Wrestling Ernest Hemingway,” written by Steven Conrad for Warner Bros. Pictures and “A Family Thing” for United Artists. These projects led to his three-year tenure as President of Motion Picture Production at Sony's Mandalay Entertainment where he managed such movies as “Donnie Brasco,” “Seven Years in Tibet,” “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” “Les Miserables” and “Wild Things.”
In January 2000, Black, along with his partner Jason Blumenthal, merged their company with the Steve Tisch Company to form Escape Artists, an independently financed company. Escape Artists, which has secured Sony Pictures as its domestic partner, produced writer-director Brian Helgeland's “A Night's Tale” starring Heath Ledger, Mark Addy and Paul Bettany.
Upcoming Escape Artists projects include the female thriller “Need,” to star Diane Lane, now in pre-production for Paramount Pictures and the thriller, “Knowing,” to be directed by Alex Proyas. Also on the horizon are “The Pursuit of Happyness,” by Steven Conrad starring Will Smith and the David Gordon Green thriller “Diary,” to star Jennifer Anniston.
Black attended the theatre program at the University of Southern California and began his professional career as a casting associate on various television shows. From there, he went on to work with Joe Wizan to produce such movies as “Iron Eagle,” “Tough Guys” with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas, “Dunston Checks In” and “Fire in the Sky.”
