Scott Stuber is an American film producer. He was the chairman of Netflix Films.[1]

Career

[edit]

After graduating from University of Arizona with a film degree, Stuber worked at Universal Pictures as a publicity assistant to Lew Wasserman.[2]

Stuber was co-president of production at Universal with Mary Parent and in 2004, Stuber and Parent were named Vice Chairman of Worldwide Production for Universal Pictures. In 2005, Universal signed a production contract with the duo under the shingle Stuber/Parent Productions.[3]

In November 2008, it was announced that Stuber signed a five-year contract through 2013 with Universal Studios under his vanity card, Stuber Pictures. He has been credited with producing such films as Role Models (2008), Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins (2008), The Kingdom (2007), You, Me and Dupree (2006), The Break-Up (2006), and Ted (2012). In 2012, Stuber Pictures was renamed to Bluegrass Films and Stuber's television unit renamed to Bluegrass Television.[4]

Stuber joined Netflix in 2017.[5] On January 19, 2023, Stuber was made chairman of Netflix Films.[1] In 2024, it was announced Stuber is leaving Netflix to start a new company.[6]

In April 2022 Stuber was appointed to the Board of Governors of the British Film Institute for a term of four years.[7]

On March 26, 2024, it was confirmed that Stuber's first project since leaving Netflix will be producing a film based on the 2023 Warren Zanes book Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska that documented the making of Bruce Springsteen's 1982 album, Nebraska. Scott Cooper is set to write and direct the film and actor Jeremy Allen White playing the role of Springsteen. Springsteen and his manager Jon Landau will also be involved in the making of the film. Originally reported to be in production at A24, the film was later revealed to have been acquired by 20th Century Studios.[8][9]

In July 2024, Stuber entered a first look deal with Amazon MGM Studios to revive the storied company United Artists, which had been dormant for over a decade and existed mainly in-name only through companies under MGM including United Artists Releasing, as a label under the former. As part of the deal, Stuber will produce films under his own company for United Artists either for a theatrical release or streaming release through Amazon Prime Video; Stuber will also be involved with every project released under the banner.[10]

Personal life

[edit]

In 2006, Stuber married the actress Rachel Nichols; however, after seven months of marriage, they announced that they were divorcing.[11]

He married Molly Sims, on September 24, 2011, at a Napa Valley Vineyard. The couple have three children: sons born in 2012 and 2017; and a daughter born in 2015.[12][13][14]
