Matt is one of the brightest people in the entertainment industry. Very smart of Legendary to bring him on board.
I have worked with Matt; not only is his knowledge of the industry extremely impressive, but also his background in the financial industry will serve him well with respect to investors and acquisitions.
A very smart move by Legendary. Matt is simply brilliant, and his knowledge and expertise will make the entire company better…plus he’ll teach them all to speak French.
Good luck Matt, and well done.
Matt is a good friend of mine. He will most assuredly be a valued asset to Legendary Pictures. I look forward to seeing what he and the team put in the works for the upcoming years!
Wishing Matt the best! I look forward to possibly working with him.
