Netflix Confirms ‘Better Than The Movies’ Film Adaptation Details
Netflix is set to adapt Lynn Painter's best-selling novel 'Better Than The Movies,' featuring a cast led by Beatrice Kitsos and David Iacono.
Nicholas Todisco and Brad Pence have joined Linden Entertainment after leaving Atlas Artists, bringing high-profile clients including Connor Storrie and Hannah Waddingham.

Nicholas Todisco and Brad Pence, successful talent managers previously with Atlas Artists, have officially joined Linden Entertainment, significantly bolstering the firm's talent roster. This strategic move comes shortly after their amicable departure from Atlas Artists. As partners, Todisco and Pence will enhance Linden’s capacity to represent a diverse array of talent, which feature clients recognized across various industries.
Linden Entertainment is celebrated for its impressive client roster, which includes celebrated actors like Amy Adams and Brendan Fraser. Founded by Nicole King and Stacy O’Neil, the firm aims to provide tailored management for its artists. The inclusion of Todisco and Pence—and the notable clients they bring with them—represents a strategic effort to solidify Linden’s position in the competitive world of talent management.
Among the new additions to Linden's roster are Connor Storrie, recognized for his compelling role in Heated Rivalry, and Emmy-winning actress Hannah Waddingham from Ted Lasso. The influx of these talents signals a noteworthy enhancement of Linden’s market share and capabilities, reflecting a commitment to represent diverse talents across various media platforms.
In addition to Storrie and Waddingham, Todisco and Pence are transferring a variety of influential talents to Linden Entertainment. Their clients include actors, writers, producers, and digital content creators such as Harriet Dyer from Colin from Accounts, Natalie Martinez from Bad Monkey, and the renowned producer Charlie Carver, known for American Horror Story. Emmy nominee Nyle DiMarco will also be part of this transition. This significant roster expansion raises Linden’s profile and competitive edge in the entertainment management arena.
The dynamics of talent management are shifting, and the addition of Todisco and Pence to Linden is seen as a strategic investment into high-caliber representation. Their successful history at Atlas Artists positions them as significant assets to Linden’s trajectory. A statement from JoAnne Colonna, a partner at Linden, emphasized their track record and alignment with the firm’s ethos. "The careers of Nicholas and Brad speak for themselves; they have an exceptional track record of identifying and strategically representing a range of talent, setting the standard in our rapidly evolving industry. They are a perfect fit to the bespoke ethos of Linden," she stated.
The merging of talent under Todisco and Pence into Linden Entertainment signifies a potential competitive advantage for the management firm, enabling it to secure further high-caliber artists and projects. As they embark on this new chapter, the implications on client visibility and opportunities within the industry are profound. This development will be closely monitored within entertainment circles as more talent acquisitions and strategic partnerships may follow. With renewed vigor and enhanced capabilities, Linden Entertainment appears poised for significant growth in the increasingly competitive landscape of talent management.
