Alexandra Milchan Rejoins New Regency As Executive Vice President

After Arnon Milchan reconstituted New Regency with a new $500 million credit line and plans to reemerge at the helm with former Paramount production president Brad Weston as COO, Alexandra Milchan has returned to the company as executive vice president of production. She will report to Weston. She is the daughter of Milchan, who owns 80% of New Regency, and she spent 13 years there, rising from assistant to senior executive, before leaving to become a producer. “Alexandra has great relationships and a real passion for movies, and we are thrilled to have her back at New Regency,” Weston said. “She will play a central role as we work to return Regency to its roots, producing bold, filmmaker-driven pictures with a singular vision which will entertain audiences around the world.” During Milchan’s earlier Regency stint, she worked on such films as the Jon Amiel-directed Copycat, Michael Mann-directed Heat, the Joel Schumacher-directed A Time To Kill and Curtis Hanson-directed L.A. Confidential. She left to start Emjag Productions, producing such films as the David Ayer-directed Street Kings, the Alexandre Aja-directed Mirrors, and the upcoming Walter Hill-directed Bullet to the Head, with Sylvester Stallone. She also developed The Wolf of Wall Street, which Martin Scorsese will direct with Leonardo DiCaprio for Red Granite and Appian Way; the Aja-directed The Space Pirate at Lionsgate, and an untitled Taylor Lautner project at New Regency.

Four Emmy Icons Grace New Hollywood Reporter Cover

TV icons Mary Tyler Moore, Michael J. Fox, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Bryan Cranston -- together winners of 16 Emmys -- are featured on four separate covers of The Hollywood Reporter's new Emmy issue. Each of the four THR cover stars was selected for his or her dominance of a decade of TV, with Moore representing the 1970s, Fox standing for the 80s, Louis-Dreyfus for the 90s and Cranston the 'aughts. PHOTOS: Behind the Scenes of THR's Emmy Icon Shoots Each cover star reveals intimate thoughts about his or her career, and how an Emmy win changed them. Fox, who has garnered five Emmys (and raised millions for his Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research), recalls winning in 1986 for his role as Alex P. Keaton in Family Ties when his career was on a hot streak. "It was a year where you were waiting for someone to bang on the door and say, 'Just kidding, give it all back,'" he admits. Falco -- who thought she was "done" when Sopranos ended its run on HBO in 2007 -- says she doesn't believe she's funny. "When I think of comedy I think of Lucille Ball, or Tina Fey -- or Mary," she says, referring to Moore, with whom she poses. For her part, Moore says, "For a long time, people thought women couldn't get laughs, so every time I see a woman get one, I'm personally tickled." Cranston (who seemingly won out of nowhere in 2008: Breaking Bad wasn't nominated, AMC was barely on anyone's radar, the actor was mostly known to TV audiences as the goofy father on Fox's Malcolm in the Middle and smarmy dentist Tim Whatley on Seinfeld), says of his Emmy, "I knew it was going to change my life, and it has." Case in point: he's always wanted to work with Steven Soderbergh and "it turns out he was a fan of Breaking Bad," the actor -- who landed the role of military official Lyle Haggerty in the director's Contagion -- tells THR. The edition, which hits stands on Sept. 15, also takes readers through a gorgeous 16-page photo portfolio spanning five decades of TV entertainment excellence featuring the likes of The Simpsons' creator Matt Groening, Mad Men writer/creator Matthew Weiner, star and creator of The Dick Van Dyke Show, Dick Van Dyke and Carl Reiner, Laugh-In's Lily Tomlin and George Schlatter, Nurse Jackie's Edie Falco, The Sopranos creator David Chase, CBS chief Les Moonves, Modern Family's Steve Levitan and Eric Stonestreet, and FX Network head John Landgraf with The Shield winner Michael Chiklis. The new issue also includes Emmys coverage, including interviews with host Jane Lynch and producer Mark Burnett about what the show, set to air on Sept. 18 on Fox, will include, plus an insider's list of all the parties, Emmy beauty and style secrets, and how the female stars get those awards show arms.
