“With her great taste and incredible talent relationships,” Watts said, “Liz has been instrumental in many of the company’s past and recent successes, including ‘Sonic the Hedgehog,’ ‘Rocketman,’ ‘A Quiet Place,’ ‘Mission: Impossible–Fallout’ and ‘Bumblebee’ as well as the latest Star Trek films and the upcoming ‘Top Gun: Maverick,’ among many others.”
Watts concluded by saying, “We thank Liz wholeheartedly for her many years of service and countless contributions to the studio, and wish her the very best.”
