Hasbro Taps Greg Mooradian to Oversee Newly Launched Allspark Pictures

Hasbro has hired seasoned veteran Greg Mooradian to oversee the company’s film division, Allspark Pictures, as it attempts to create a full-fledged movie studio. As president of Allspark, he will oversee film and television production starting in January. Sources say the company has been making an effort to raise money to start its own studio for some time, and is trying to attract funding in the nine-figure range in order to properly develop its own slate of films. The hope is to transform itself into an industry player to rival Marvel Studios.

The company currently has a deal with Paramount. It wants to expand that relationship so that Paramount isn’t just distributing its movies, but is also partnering on financing films and developing projects.

There’s a longstanding relationship between the companies. Paramount has successfully made films based on Hasbro characters like Transformers and G.I. Joe. Those franchises will not be a part of the new pact. Paramount develops any movies featuring these characters, with Hasbro serving as a producer.

Mooradian is currently a production executive at Fox 2000. It’s a homecoming of sorts for Mooradian, who previously worked at Paramount, helping guide “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” to the big screen, as well as Hasbro hits like “G.I. Joe” and “Transformers.” He left Paramount in 2013.
 
Yup, TF would have been so much better if the army group was GIJoe instead. The main guy would have been a perfect Flint.

Skystriker could have taken on Starscream.
 
Allspark pictures is the name but....they can't make Transformer films? Why name the company after a transformers plot point then?
 
Hasbro...Jesus Christ...I can't wait for the barrel full of monkeys,candyland,chutes and ladders,lite brite, and bopit movies to come out...lol..those would make for good porn titles

Now make a proper GIJoe flick.

Agreed, but it’ll probably never happen. They’ll push the movies to market their toys and will try to avoid being too grim and gritty. They tried being darker with Retaliation but the first movie ruined it for the franchise.
