Hasbro has hired seasoned veteran Greg Mooradian to oversee the companys film division, Allspark Pictures, as it attempts to create a full-fledged movie studio. As president of Allspark, he will oversee film and television production starting in January. Sources say the company has been making an effort to raise money to start its own studio for some time, and is trying to attract funding in the nine-figure range in order to properly develop its own slate of films. The hope is to transform itself into an industry player to rival Marvel Studios.
Hasbros lines of toys and games include Mr. Potato Head, Monopoly, and My Little Pony. Its products have inspired films with varying degrees of success. Paramount and Hasbro could not be reached for comment.
The company currently has a deal with Paramount. It wants to expand that relationship so that Paramount isnt just distributing its movies, but is also partnering on financing films and developing projects.
