EXCLUSIVE: Adam Yoelin has joined Beau Flynn’s New Line-based FlynnPictureCo. He will oversee development and production of the company’s slate, reporting directly to Flynn. Yoelin leaves The Kennedy/Marshall Company after four years there, most recently holding the title of VP. He helped develop such projects as Milli Vanilli at Universal, Fathers and Guns at Sony Pictures, Tell No One at Warner Bros, and an adaptation of the Neal Stephenson novel Snow Crash at Paramount. Yoelin previously worked at Paramount Pictures and ICM.
After ending a long partnership with Tripp Vinson in Contrafilm, Flynn formed FlynnPictureCo and made a two-year, non-exclusive, first-look deal with New Line Cinema. He’ll focus on high-concept studio tentpoles and genre movies under $30 million. Flynn is currently in post on Journey 2: The Mysterious Island with Dwayne Johnson, Josh Hutcherson and Michael Caine for New Line and Warner Bros and Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters with Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton for Paramount. He also produced the upcoming Fox/New Regency comedy What’s Your Number with Anna Faris and Chris Evans, and also has the Chris Hemsworth-starrer Red Dawn set for release next year. For New Line, Flynn is producing with Guillermo del Toro a remake of The Orphanage, and the long-gestating thriller Solace, which has Anthony Hopkins starring, and a new script draft from Peter Morgan. They are out to directors.


Congrats to Adam. Really sharp dude, excellent taste.
Met with Adam a few time over this last year. He’s just what you want in an exec. Smart cat with a well-tuned story sense. Plus, he’s one of the good guys. And, no, I am NOT Adam. Or is his mother.
Sharp guy? How is it that not one of his films has hit theaters yet and he is labeled a sharp guy? Why don’t we wait until we see what the box office tells us. Anna Faris films during their domestic release usually make what Simon Cowell makes in one night on X Factor. Red Dawn? The Orphanage remake? The original was so bad.
Sharp guy?
Tripp Vinson was a sharp guy.
And to top it off, he’s leaving 2 of the best filmmakers of our time where he had it so easy because of the company he worked for.
Hollywood fascinates me.
Great hire by Beau. Adam is an all around great guy with amazing taste and a killer instinct. He and Beau will destroy. Fact.
Winner! Great eye. Can’t believe Kathy and Frank let him go
Nice job Adam – hope you dominate over at Flynn
Had the good fortune to work with Adam on a project. He was smart, creative, a good guy and, most importantly, got the joke.
A great hire.
Another example of Kathy and Frank’s long history of mistreating good executives, causing a never-ending, revolving door of talented employees.
Adam is a fantastic dude and a top, top executive talent. And Beau Flynn is a true gent and an amazing beer pong player. The two together will be simply dynamite.
I worked with him on a project at K/M and was not impressed. He’s quite the junior, and really was lucky to be where he was at. Not great instincts or commitment. Best of luck to Beau but this wasn’t your best move.
Yomansssssssssssss
Hands down the best exec I’ve worked with in Hollywood. He’s really smart, has great taste, as well as a genuine passion for movies. A rare combination in this crazy business. Congrats to Adam, I’m sure he will continue to do well.
WHAT’S YOUR NUMBER is said to be a disaster creatively and has terrible tracking. So there’s that.
So… there’s a job opening at K/M? Where do we apply?? Do they have coffee there?
