Producer Jordan Kerner has signed a multi-year first look deal with Walden Media, with whom he collaborated on the 2006 family film Charlotte's Web.
Kerner, recently appointed dean of the North Carolina School of the Arts' School Of Filmmaking, will divide his time between Los Angeles and Winston-Salem.
His credits include Snow Dogs, George Of The Jungle, Inspector Gadget, The Three Musketeers, and the Mighty Ducks trilogy.
With his former partner Jon Avnet he produced dramas such as Fried Green Tomatoes, When A Man Loves A Woman, Up Close And Personal, Less Than Zero, and Red Corner.
'The films [Jordan has] produced fit perfectly into Walden's mission of creating quality family entertainment that inspires and engages, and we're thrilled to start this new chapter in our relationship,' Walden chief executive officer Cary Granat said.
'Jordan and I have been friends and business associates for decades [and] he has made very successful films that have an enduring place in the hearts and minds of audiences everywhere,' David Weil, chief executive officer of Walden Media parent company Anschutz Film Group, added. 'This is exactly what we want as part of our growing Walden slate.'
'Our partnership is a perfect match,' Kerner said. 'As we move forward in an uncertain world, it becomes even more important to produce films, which explore important values that can have a lasting place in the hearts and minds of families around the world. I am honoured to join the Walden and Fox families.'
