Prologue produced the Netflix series Zero Day, starring Robert De Niro (Oppenheim also co-created that series), and A House of Dynamite, the film directed by Kathryn Bigelow, which has become a talk of the town, and sparked a rebuttal from the Department of Defense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tBoth projects also underscore what a deal with The Atlantic could offer, given its ability to break major stories (like Secretary Pete Hegseth\u2019s \u201cSignalgate\u201d fiasco) and provide smart cultural and economic analysis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tOppenheim, Braun and Bremner, of course, also have the entertainment bona fides to back up the venture, with Oppenheim having served as screenwriter for films like Jackie and The Maze Runner, and having served as the president of NBC News. Braun is the former chairman of WME and ABC Entertainment Group, and Bremner serving as former president of Ava DuVernay\u2019s ARRAY Filmworks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cThe Atlantic uncovers the kinds of stories Prologue was created to tell,\u201d Oppenheim said in a statement. \u201cBoth of our teams are fascinated not only with what\u2019s happening in the world but also what could come next. We look forward to working with their journalists to develop more timely and relevant entertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cPrologue and RedBird IMI are the ideal partners for us,\u201d added Nicholas Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic. \u201cThe Atlantic\u2019s journalism is known for editorial rigor, exceptional writing, narrative brilliance, and memorable characters. I think we\u2019re going to make some great art together.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Journalism and archival stories from The Atlantic will become fair game for scripted and unscripted film and TV&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":176656,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[146,85,46,103711,103712],"class_list":["post-176655","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-redbird-capital","tag-the-atlantic"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=176655"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176655\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/176656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=176655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=176655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
