James Mangold is planting stakes at the Paramount lot as the Skydance-owned studio has signed him to an overall deal. The deal comes one month after the studio announced Mangold’s next film, “High Side,” a motorcycle heist film that will see the filmmaker reunite with his “A Complete Unknown” star, Timothee Chalamet. “James Mangold is one of the most talented filmmakers working today and we could not be more excited to welcome him to the Paramount family, starting with ‘High Side’ and many more collaborations to come,” said Paramount Pictures Co-Chairs Josh Greenstein and Dana Goldberg. “I am very excited to begin this collaboration with David, Josh and Dana and everyone at Paramount. The enthusiasm they have demonstrated toward big screen films and the passion with which they have embraced my ideas for future projects is truly thrilling,” said Mangold.
