As studios dramatically cut back development spending and first-look deals, top producers have begun finding alternative coin to buy projects.
A day after DreamWorks-based Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald announced a $10 million development fund with Imagenation Abu Dhabi, sources say Disney-based Jerry Bruckheimer is quietly securing a three-year, $20 million development fund through Barclays Bank. The money will supplement the millions of dollars per year that Disney already provides the "Pirates of the Caribbean" producer. Bruckheimer declined comment.
