He will serve as president of DC-based film production. In December, the studio decided to replace Jon Berg and Geoff Johns as the heads of the DC movies. Berg became a production partner with Roy Lee, the producer of \u201cThe Lego Movie\u201d and \u201cIt,\u201d who has a deal on the lot.<\/p>\n<p>Johns remains at DC as a president and chief creative officer, but his portfolio doesn\u2019t just involve film. He will continue to provide creative guidance into the company\u2019s television and comic book efforts. In an official announcement of Hamada\u2019s hire, Warner Bros. said Johns will \u201cwork closely\u201d with the new production president.<\/p>\n<p>The move comes as DC is looking for more quality control of its big-screen efforts \u2014 the studio captured acclaim and box office bonanza with last summer\u2019s \u201cWonder Woman,\u201d but was\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/variety.com\/2016\/film\/news\/suicide-squad-reviews-1201828718\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">savaged by critics for \u201cSuicide Squad\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/variety.com\/2017\/film\/news\/justice-league-review-roundup-1202615747\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u201cJustice League.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0There is widespread frustration over DC\u2019s failure to match the popularity of Marvel movies.<\/p>\n<p>Hamada previously served for a decade as a production executive at New Line, a division of Warner Bros. There, he helped shepherd such horror hits as \u201cIt,\u201d \u201cThe Gallows,\u201d and \u201cThe Conjuring\u201d to cinemas. The executive enjoys a close relationship with director James Wan, who is directing \u201cAquaman\u201d for DC, and is credited with helping expand \u201cThe Conjuring\u201d universe by making a well-received sequel to the movie, as well as spinoffs with the \u201cAnnabelle\u201d series. He will be leaving New Line to work for Warners, and will also oversee any other types of comic book movies that the studio produces outside of the DC canon.<\/p>\n<p>Toby Emmerich, who was promoted in 2016 to president and chief content officer at Warner Bros., worked with Hamada at New Line, which he ran before moving over to the main studio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWalter is creative, resourceful, and committed to excellence, and will bring those qualities to his oversight of our superhero films,\u201d Emmerich said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Emmerich went on to add, \u201cI\u2019m confident Walter and Geoff, working with our filmmaking partners, will deliver films that will resonate with both broad global audiences as well as DC fanboys and fangirls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last summer, Warner Bros. named Courtenay Valenti, best known for her work on the Harry Potter films, as president of production at Warner Bros. She will continue in that role, as will DC Entertainment chief Diane Nelson.<\/p>\n<p>Before coming to New Line in 2007, Hamada spent four years as a partner in the management and production firm H2F Entertainment. He began his career as an assistant at TriStar and eventually became VP of production for Columbia Pictures. He also ran development for MBST Entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u03a0\u03b7\u03b3\u03ae: variety.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of a\u00a0shake-up of its DC film operations, Warner Bros. is promoting\u00a0Walter Hamada\u00a0to oversee its comic book movies,\u00a0Variety\u00a0has learned.
