Nick Meyer has just informed his staff that he’s exiting as eOne’s President of Film when his contract ends next month.The news comes as Hasbro is expected to settle on a buyer of its eOne studio division, those jockeying being Lionsgate and Legendary, and distributor GoDigital Media Group as Deadline first reported.Hasbro bought eOne in 2019 for $4 billion. The toymaker is looking to unload all scripted and unscripted TV production (except for the Family Brands division housing such IP as Peppa Pig and PJ Masks), all film production and related global distribution and a 6,500-plus title content library and Hasbro’s interest in eOne’s Canadian film and TV business.Former Sierra/Affinity Boss Meyer has had quite a streak, with 17 Oscar wins from 62 nominations and 10 BAFTA wins from 51 nominations under that label. He also produced such titles as The Woman King, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris at eOne.
