Nearly a year after closing its doors, New Yorker Films is back in business.
Jose Lopez, longtime VP at New Yorker Films alongside founder Dan Talbot, is the new president of the new New Yorker Films in the wake of the company’s name and library being acquired by California-based Aladdin Distribution.
Talbot is no longer involved in the business, but has given his blessing to the reorganized New Yorker and is supportive of the company’s return.
Lopez said the reconstituted New Yorker will release six to eight films theatrically each year, alongside a nontheatrical and home video division. He has hired Peter Marai as an acquisitions consultant.
