Hollywood Golden Boys Phil Lord and Chris Miller Move to Sony Pictures TV with Nine Figure Overall Deal

With their contract at 20th Century Fox TV coming to a close, Phil Lord and Chris Miller who are responsible for launching the LEGO Movie franchise and the critical and commercial success of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse just landed a massive deal at Sony Pictures TV to develop series, both live action and animated, including a focus on the Marvel characters that Sony still owns (guess there will still be two MCUs for quite some time, huh?).

We can’t wait to see what this means for Lord and Miller and maybe Sony perhaps rallying back into the ever-crowded race of content. If there were a duo to make something great, funny, and self-aware out of the complicated dichotomy between Sony’s Marvel characters and the actual Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’d be Phil Lord and Chris Miller.

We’ll just have to wait and see how they dazzle us beyond our expectations yet again.

At 92 years old, the legendary Norman Lear may be bringing his transformative sitcom “All in the Family” back to television.

While being interviewed by Netflix’s Ted Sarandos, he revealed that he has toyed with the idea that a reboot of the show might center on a Latino family this time around. In fact, it was Sony Pictures TV that was asking about possibility of this All in the Family reboot happening with Lear.

While there are no more details as to how and when this would all happen if it were to even happen (Lear seemed to be leaning towards not making much more than conjecture), the thought of All in the Family and Norman Lear mixing in with the current crop of family sitcoms is an enticing one. Maybe he’ll talk about this a little more when he’s on Letterman tonight.

Sony Pictures TV has gotten into the Nat Faxon and Jim Rash business by signing a two year deal to develop and produce TV series projects.

It’s about time Faxon and Rash had some sort of deal like this after proving their worth in features with Oscar winning The Descendants and The Way Way Back as well as currently being on FX’s Married and Community, respectively.

We’re curious to see what they come up with, possibly some promising dramedies, and where it might end up.
