As a seasoned gamer of the Hollywood blockbuster scene, I can’t help but feel a surge of anticipation upon hearing about Josh McLaughlin joining Nine Stories Productions under the leadership of Jake Gyllenhaal. With his impressive resume that spans over a decade at Focus Features, including projects like Spike Lee’s Oscar-winning BlacKkKlansman and Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread, it’s clear McLaughlin knows how to weave a captivating cinematic tale.
Experienced executive Josh McLaughlin is moving to Nine Stories Productions, the firm led by actor Jake Gyllenhaal.
McLaughlin has recently been self-employed at Wink Pictures, following a decade-long stint at Focus Features where he served as production president. During this time, his projects included Spike Lee’s Academy Award-winning “BlacKkKlansman”, Kasi Lemmons’ Harriet Tubman feature “Harriet”, Joe Wright’s “The Darkest Hour” (Winston Churchill biopic), Paul Thomas Anderson’s “The Phantom Thread”, and collaborated with David Leitch on “Atomic Blonde” starring Charlize Theron, as well as Joel Edgerton on the film “Boy Erased” about a young man undergoing gay conversion therapy.
He previously worked at Chernin Entertainment and The Mark Gordon Company.
McLaughlin expressed great enthusiasm about becoming part of Nine Stories under Jake’s guidance, looking forward to contributing to the team’s success by leveraging their past accomplishments and continuing momentum. He’s also excited to collaborate with skilled filmmakers and artists to create engaging content for our valued associates.
McLaughlin arrives with Nine Pictures aiming to capitalize on its initial film partnership with Amazon MGM Studios, where they produced the movie “Road House” starring Gyllenhaal, which is currently in development for a sequel. On the television front, the company has recently premiered Gyllenhaal’s “Presumed Innocent” on Apple TV+, and the streaming service has greenlit another season of the legal thriller.
As a passionate fan, I’d rephrase it like this: “I’m over the moon to announce that Josh is joining Nine Stories as our President! His extensive background and keen insight into the industry have always impressed me. I can’t wait to collaborate with him and see how we can broaden our portfolio of captivating projects in film, TV, and theater.
