In 2021, CAA announced a deal to buy one of its rivals, ICM Partners.<br \/><br \/>Sources have told Bloomberg that the proposed deal would value the agency at $7 billion. The private-equity firm TPG first invested in CAA back in 2010 and increased its stake to 53% in 2014. At that time, CAA was valued at a mere $1.1 billion. All the parties to the talks have declined comment thus far.<br \/><br \/>According to published reports, Pinault\u2019s investment entity Artemis is involved in the negotiations. If Artemis acquires CAA it would be another of its recent inroads into the film and entertainment sphere. Kering is now a major sponsor of the Cannes Film Festival, spearheading a Women in Motion program to advance the interests of female actors, filmmakers, and producers. At Cannes this year, a Kering award was given to Michelle Yeoh for her groundbreaking work in <em><strong>Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<p>Pinault\u2019s wife, Salma Hayek Pinault, is a noted actor, filmmaker, and women\u2019s activist. The Mexican-born star won a Best Actress Oscar nomination two decades ago for her role as Frida Kahlo in a film she also produced.<br \/><br \/>Also at Cannes this year, one of Kering\u2019s fashion brands, Saint Laurent, launched a film-production entity that\u2019s helmed by artistic director Anthony Vaccarello. Its first offering was the Pedro Almod\u00f3var film <em><strong>Strange Way of Life<\/strong><\/em>, which stars Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal. Other luxury brands owned by Kering include Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Brioni, Boucheron, Pomellato, DoDo, Qeelin, and Kering Eyewear.<br \/><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/author\/edward-moran\/\">Check out more of Edward\u2019s articles.\u00a0<\/a><br \/><br \/><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of Hollywood\u2019s most prestigious talent agencies may soon be sporting a beret.
