The 30 Most Powerful Film Producers in Hollywood
5:25 PM PST 04/13/2015 by THR Staff
Yes, the film world’s one-time cush deals can be seen these days only in the rearview mirror. But great content is still the secret sauce for the studios and their bottom-line corporate owners as the industry’s convulsions create a new class of players who can keep everything from a mega-franchise like 'Transformers' to an idiosyncratic Oscar winner (hello, 'Birdman'!) on track.

George Clooney and Grant Heslov
Smokehouse Pictures
The two longtime buddies — they met in acting class more than 30 years ago — didn't spend much time savoring their best picture Oscar victory for 2012's Argo. The morning after the ceremony, they were off to Europe, where they spent the next five months filming The Monuments Men. Although Clooney, 53, has used their Sony-based production company to investigate politics (The Ides of March and the upcoming Our Brand Is Crisis, directed by David Gordon Green, which looks at political consultants who hire themselves out to foreign countries), Heslov, 51, says the only rule they follow when looking for material is that "we try to mix it up and just find something we haven't done before." Next up is the financial thriller Money Monster, with Clooney starring and Jodie Foster directing. As for winning that Oscar, Heslov adds: "It felt like winning the lottery. It will never happen again, and that takes all the pressure off."
