Dan Aloni has brought over his client David Goyer, who has left CAA to join WME. Goyer, a credited writer on all three of Chris Nolan’s Batman films, and is sole writer on the Superman reboot Man of Steel. He is also credited as writer behind the Blade and Ghost Rider franchises. He directed The Unborn, The Invisible and Blade Trinity and was creator and exec producer and director on Flash Forward. He also wrote Call of Duty and is booked to direct Invisible Man at Universal, Murder Mysteries at Legendary and Da Vinci for Starz. Aloni has managed to bring almost all his clients from CAA, something that I can’t remember happening, at least not since Patrick Whitesell left CAA to become a partner at Endeavor. About the only writer/director left in play is David Dobkin.

He was at Endeavor in the late 90s so he’s returning
SUCKERS!
Returning with a much better agent. I saw what they did with his career previously.
Man, Aloni really is taking all of his clients. Good for him.
Wow – very impressed by Aloni. He’s clearly good at what he does.
Gotta wonder how much in yearly commissions just walked out the door.
Smart and loyal move on Goyer’s part. I wouldn’t leave the agent who helped me land Batman and Superman either.
Gotta love that picture. It’s Coach Goyer!
Very impressed. I’d love to see non-Aloni clients start to follow him there…
he’s directed some pretty dang bad flicks
Funny thing is deadline doesn’t mention how many music stars just left WME to come to CAA the past couple of weeks…talk about commission walking out the door.
CAA wildly overpaid Cara Lewis. They’re losing a ton of money and she didn’t bring over nearly the number of clients they thought she would.
hey $$$ – maybe CAA should teach a class on grammar so you don’t continually out yourself as a CAA minion trying to do damage control…”come to CAA”
I think Goyer has some talent, but he RUINED the Blade franchise with Blade Trinity and I still can’t figure what his reason was for doing it.
From what I’ve read, Goyer and Wesley were feuding throughout the whole Blade Trinity process, hence Reynolds and Biel written in to upstage Wes in his own movie. In fairness to Goyer, Wes didn’t make himself available for a lot of scenes, especially the fights, which were done with his stunt double. Blade Trinity actually wouldn’t have been half bad had Wes been 100% engaged. The casting of the secondary characters (John Michael Higgins, Parker Posey, Triple H) was great, IMO. Still a huge letdown after Blade II, however.
The feud kinda continued into the Blade TV series, with the casting of Sticky Fingers who looked as far from Wesley as they could get. It was a classic “let’s prove it’s the concept, not the actor that makes this thing.” It was cancelled after one season.
Even the new Blade anime series isn’t based on Wesley’s look.
Sorry but if you can’t make it work with the star you have then don’t direct. He showed him whose boss by writing him out of the movie and consequently killing the franchise? Passive aggressive and stupid. You don’t have to deal with Wes but a shitty movie is made…..that blame is on the director. We all know it was a troubled shoot because…..oh my god, the star was/is/always has been difficult. How is that a new challenge?
