ROAR management has just bought Abstract Entertainment, the literary management & production company run by Mike Goldberg and Josh Adler who’ll start ROAR’s lit department. Abstract will add clients including Chris Baldi, Ashley Bradley, and Chris Bullett.
Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.

Congrats to Josh and Mike. They’re a class act.
Great guys. Good coup for ROAR.
Great guys — happy for them and their clients.
Happy for the guys. They are smart, hustlers, and actually good people. Smart move by Roar.
ROAR is a terrible place to work. Sorry for Mike and Josh.
Mike and Josh are great! I am sure they have nothing but great things ahead of them.
Hiring two dudes on for little to no salary and splitting their commissions is not “acquiring a company.”
I thought I read they’re producing David Hackl’s new film, The Butcher Bride based on the best-selling novel.
There was nothing to acquire. The Abstract guys are simply going to work for Roar now because they couldn’t keep their own company afloat. And they are hardly class acts
Wow….clearly you dont know Mike or Josh….why are you so bitter? Guess they didn’t like your spec you talentless douche,
Mike and Josh are extremely hard working and work with a lot of great younger writers. And they are good guys. Congrats to them!!
Wow – these guys can expect a lot of “good” times from roar. Once they get a film off the ground they can expect every fat-cat, dim-wit “partner” to forcibly insert their names for EP credit and they can expect to beg for some sort of credit for themselves. Their clients will be real taken care of too…that “team” approach really works. Guess that’s why they have had five managers come and go in four short years hoping to master that job. In short, these guys can expect their days to be filled with daily humiliations, an opressive and toxic atmosphere and working for people who are literally two chromosomes short of being classified as “special.” Also, enjoy that shared 2 by 2 “office.”
Josh and Mike will be great! I am pretty sure that they can take anything that comes their way! Best of luck to the both of you.
Is it realistic to call Roar a management company? Isn’t it more like the house Chris and Liam Hemsworth support until they get smart and jump ship? Mike and Josh have just boarded a sinking ship populated almost exclusively by douchebags.
You couldn’t be more wrong….ROAR is a growing company and after ARABIAN NIGHTS comes out it will become even more competitive.
“J”, that’s where you would have wanted to reference a movie that DIDN’T star one of the Hemsworths. I hope the Hemsworths jump ship before the douche bags at ROAR have a chance to sabotage their careers.
Hm, after ARABIAN NIGHTS? You mean, the movie with a white kid cast as the lead of a Middle Eastern action-adventure? Jerry Bruckheimer already tried that and, even with his name, it didn’t fly. But I do appreciate you agreeing with my point that the success or failure of Roar and its clients is entirely dependent upon the Hemsworth brothers…not the douchebags who run the management company.
Mike and Josh are fantastic! Definitely a class act. They’re already killing it and have big things on the horizon.
