The Men Who Would Be King by Nicole LaPorte
An Almost Epic Tale of Moguls, Wars, and a Company Called Blackwater
A brisk insider account of the rise and turmoil of a Hollywood studio created by three powerful entertainment figures, tracing their attempt to reinvent moviemaking and the corporate, creative and personal clashes that followed. It follows the studio’s founding, high‑stakes deals, hit-and-miss film slates and animation successes, and the boardroom battles and shifting industry pressures that strained partnerships and reshaped careers. Drawing on reporting and interviews, the narrative exposes how ambition, ego and money collided with artistic aims to determine the company’s fate.
