Some Hollywood players were having a good time and a few fine stogies last night in Beverly Hills. UTA’s Charlie Ferraro and DreamWorks’ Mark Sourian were among a gang out at the Grand Havana Room on Thursday. Also spotted hanging out with Ferraro and Sourian at the members only club on Canon Drive were Summit Senior VP of Production Geoff Shaevitz, producers Andrew Lazar, Chris Fenton and Beau Flynn, ICM’s Emile Gladstone, and Mayhem Pictures’ Mark Ciardi and Gordon Grey. Though they undoubtedly talk some shop, I’m told this is no smoky star chamber. The gathering is just a semi-regular get-together among friends over cigars, with Ferraro as the ringleader. American Gangster producer Jim Whitaker, Disruption’s Cale Boyter, UTA’s Steve Rabineau, Battleship producer Scott Stuber, Steve Jobs biopic producer Guymon Casady, actor Keith Ewell and Transformers executive producer Mark Vahradian were also there last night too. Though they were nowhere to be seen last night, Disney’s Sean Bailey and Twilight Saga producer Marty Bowen have joined the gathering in the past I’ve heard.

This is the first Hollywood thing I’ve been jealous of. Don’t like parties, dislike meetings, I like good restaurants but not trendy ones in particular, don’t want to meet celebrities, but damn, this I want.
How is this newsworthy or interesting?
Good to see my cousin’s name there. Same thing happens at the Malibu Cigar Lounge every day GG…It’s the place where Hollywood’s A-List goes when they just want to relax without the hype.
The first rule of cancer club is, you don’t talk about cancer club.
The second rule about cancer club is, you don’t talk about cancer club.
Just sayin’.
[cough-cough-cough]
Sounds like a gathering of the “He- Man Woman Haters Club.”
So pretty much every tool in the business in one location.
is there a point to this story? I mean I guess its cool that 10 mid-level men in their 40′s are all hanging out together on a Thursday night, but I don’t see the news angle here. Oh well, back to my beautiful wife and children…
“Mid-level men”? Huh? Do you even work in this business?
And no, I’m not one of them.
The truth can be said: this group’s known around town as THE MONICA LEWINSKY FAN CLUB.
I thought Stuber was only smoking Battleship receipts until Labor Day?!?
Where’s a drone when you need one?
Mouth cancer, lip cancer, tongue cancer, throat cancer, esophageal cancer, lung cancer, brain cancer, bladder cancer are all a by product of this behavior. I know several agents I think should join.
who’s jealous? It seems the people that don’t actually have careers in Hollywood LOVE to say mean things about the people that do. I always dismissed them until I ended up with one of them and realized how hard they struggle to achieve success. Maybe you should just be honest, and acknowledge that they are, at a minimum, living their dreams. You just wish you had the courage to live yours.
Amen, sister. Ain’t that the truth.
