Pitt had acquired control of the entity when the pair split in 2005, and it\u2019s being now run by himself in tandem with co-presidents Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner. <br \/><br \/>It\u2019s been confirmed that Plan B has selected the global investment bank of Moelis &amp; Co. to shop around for potential investors though neither party has been available for comment.<br \/>The eventual deal may be a lucrative one, given Plan B\u2019s track record, which includes blockbusters like <em><strong>World War Z<\/strong><\/em> as well as <em><strong>12 Years a Slave, Selma<\/strong><\/em>, and <em><strong>The Big Short.<\/strong><\/em> This year is no exception, given the group\u2019s involvement with MGM\u2019s<em><strong> Women Talking,<\/strong><\/em> Universal\u2019s <em><strong>She Said<\/strong><\/em>, Netflix\u2019s <em><strong>Blonde<\/strong><\/em>, and HBO Max\u2019s <em><strong>Father of the Bride<\/strong><\/em>. Both<em><strong> She Said<\/strong><\/em>, a #MeToo drama, and <em><strong>Blonde<\/strong><\/em>, a biopic about actress Marilyn Monroe, are expected to be major revenue producers. <br \/><br \/>Television credits for Plan B include HBO\u2019s Emmy-winning <em><strong>The Normal Heart<\/strong><\/em> and Amazon\u2019s <em><strong>The Underground Railroad<\/strong><\/em>. Plan B also has a deal with Amazon Studios giving it a first look at potential TV shows, as well as a features deal with MGM.<br \/><br \/>The news is coming in the wake of several big industry deals of late. Candle Media recently acquired Reese Witherspoon\u2019s <em><strong>Hello Sunshine<\/strong><\/em> for a cool $900 million. And A24 snagged $225 million with Stripes as the major investor. NEON, which has the Oscar-winning <em><strong>Parasite<\/strong> <\/em>under its belt, is reportedly weighing options for a sale via its deal with Merchant Bank Raine. <br \/><br \/>Plan B\u2019s first release, in 2004, was Wolfgang Petersen\u2019s <em><strong>Troy<\/strong><\/em>. Its first major triumph came two years later, when Martin Scorsese\u2019s <em><strong>The Departed<\/strong><\/em> won an Oscar for Best Picture. Subsequent Oscar winners included Steve McQueen\u2019s <em><strong>12 Years a Slave<\/strong><\/em> (2013) and Barry Jenkins\u2019s <em><strong>Moonlight<\/strong> <\/em>(2015).<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plan B, the production venue launched in 2001 by Brad Grey, Brad Pitt and his then-spouse Jennifer Aniston is looking for a buyer, according to industry sources.
