William Monahan, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of The Departed, has signed with management firm Anonymous Content’s Michael Sugar. Sugar joins WME’s Chris Donnelly and attorney David Fox on Monahan’s rep team. Monahan is in post-production on London Boulevard, making his directing debut on a script he wrote, with Colin Farrell and Keira Knightley starring for GK Films. He’s also adapted the John Grisham novel The Associate, and The Falcon’s Tale, for Paramount, but it seems clear he wants to continue to make directing a priority. Sugar’s filmmaker list includes Steven Soderbergh, Spider-Man’s Marc Webb, Tron Legacy’s Joe Kosinski and Wolverine helmer Gavin Hood.

Could not happen to a better dude. Sugar deserves all his success.
A lot of what I have achieved originates from Sug. The guy is money and his insight is on point. I hope to share more clients with him because he makes me a better professional.
Is Monahan the last serious artist that CD inherited and hasn’t lost?
Does anyone know when “London Blvd.” will be released and which studio will be distributing it?
Love Sugar, no way he’s commissioning him
totally agree. Sugar’s a good guy. But he’ll be lucky to paid for any directing jobs he gets him, but he’ll get paid nothing for his writing.
Dear ‘friend of the fam’, of course he commissions him. Anonymous Content is one of the only shops in town that doesn’t do reduced rates and will only represent you across the board.
Friend of the fam?? Really? From my vantage point Sugar is far too advanced in his career to take anyone on, even a great like WM, without commissioning him. It’s a great sign but not one which will define his business and I would be surprised if he would take on the task for free. What’s in it for him ? He has a sick list and doesn’t need to “buy” a client.
Wonder if this flick will be as logical as The Departed…
Have never heard so many groans coming from a single theater.
If this Sugar is such a good guy then I’m sorry about this latest bit of information. ‘The Departed’ is one of the most overrated films of our time and only part of the blame can be assigned to Scorcese.
Does anyone know anyone that can remember a single line from that steaming pile? The Oscar should have gone to Nokia or Motorola for cell phone deployment.
Is William Monahan still penning the screenplay for Mel Gibson’s Viking flick?
