Michael De Luca, Chairman of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc.'s (MGM) Motion Picture Group, oversees all facets of the studio's global film operations, including development, production, marketing, and distribution of MGM's film lineup, which includes Orion Motion Pictures. He also manages MGM's On-Stage production division. In his capacity as Chairman, De Luca serves on the board of United Artists Releasing, the studio’s domestic theatrical distribution joint venture with Annapurna Pictures.
A distinguished and prolific producer with over thirty years in the film industry, De Luca has received three Academy Award® nominations for Best Picture (for David Fincher’s The Social Network starring Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield; Bennett Miller’s Moneyball starring Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill; and Paul Greengrass’s Captain Phillips starring Tom Hanks and Barkhad Abdi). Additionally, he has earned three Emmy Award nominations for producing the 89th and 90th Academy Awards®, and most recently for Ben Stiller’s acclaimed Escape At Dannemora for Showtime. De Luca has also been nominated four times for a Producers Guild of America Award. He produced the Fifty Shades of Grey film trilogy—Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker, and Fifty Shades Freed—starring Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson for Universal Pictures. The trilogy was a global box office success, grossing over $1 billion worldwide.
Throughout his career, De Luca has held several significant roles in the film industry. At 27, he became one of the youngest heads of production in Hollywood history as President and COO of New Line Productions, where he helped launch successful franchises such as Friday, Blade, Austin Powers, and Rush Hour. He championed influential sleeper hits including Seven, Wag the Dog, Pleasantville, Magnolia, I Am Sam, and Boogie Nights, and helped launch the directing careers of Jay Roach, Gary Ross, Alan and Albert Hughes, F. Gary Gray, the Farrelly brothers, David Fincher, and Paul Thomas Anderson. After New Line, De Luca served as DreamWorks’ Head of Production from 2001 to 2004, overseeing the live-action division and producing films like Old School and Anchorman, which further propelled the careers of Will Ferrell and Todd Phillips.
In 2004, De Luca founded Michael De Luca Productions, entering a development and production deal with Columbia Pictures that yielded three Academy Award® Best Picture nominees—The Social Network, Moneyball, and Captain Phillips—alongside commercial hits such as Ghost Rider and 21. As an independent producer, he concentrated on developing provocative, specialized films with visionary directors, as well as elevated genre films with franchise potential. Before signing a multi-year production agreement with Universal Pictures, De Luca served as President of Production at Columbia Pictures, where he revitalized the studio's lineup with commercially successful films and collaborations with filmmakers, including the thriller The Shallows starring Blake Lively and directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, and the western Magnificent Seven starring Chris Pratt and Denzel Washington, directed by Antoine Fuqua.
