Premiere magazine highlighted 10 movie executives to watch in 1990.

So what happened to them?

Theres something that happily goes against the cliche of the movie executive right there.

He now does consultancy work, specializing in entertainment and media.

Her sign-off quote in the 1990 piece?

Eventually, Im going to make movies.

Im going to make movies, no matter which way I go.

Amy Pascal is making movies.

Right now, shes a producer on theBarbiemovie and onSpider-Man: Homecoming.

Shes had some career so far.

She left the job in May 2015, and now runs Pascal Pictures.

Shes arguably the most successful of the ten executives that thePremierearticle cited.

And then he landed the Disney/Hollywood Pictures job…

Busy, but less so in movies.

Hirschhorn stayed at Disney until 1999, in an assortment of roles.

There, De Line would oversee more than 20 made-for-TV films.

Well, thatRoger Rabbitprequel never happened.

He then was hired by Paramount Pictures in 2003, where he was head of production.

Grey brought his own people with him, and De Line was out.

More recently, he produced Michael BaysPain & Gain, and the DC Comics/Warner Bros misfire,Green Lantern.

And he executive produced theWayward PinesTV show, from M. Night Shyamalan.

He is one of Hollywoods most successful producers.

John Hughes, for one, was a fan.

From 2003 to 2005, Jacobson was also co-president of Paramount Pictures.

Another ofPremieres candidates who made their way to the top.

Now though, he heads up The Jacobson Company, working on film and TV projects.

Amongst his most recent credits was the TNT TV series,Proof.

Projects there includedPee-wees Big AdventureandPurple Rain.

By 1990, she had already worked onBatman,LethalWeapon 2,andGremlins 2for the studio.

ThisPremierearticle was good at predicting studio high-ups.

That certainly keeps her busy, too.

The Jim Henson Company remains involved in film, television and education, with several projects in development.

I like all kinds of movies horror movies, hard-action movies, esoteric movies, he toldPremiere.

Jacks background was as a financial analyst on Wall Street, before deciding he wanted to write films instead.

He duly producedRaising Arizona.

He landed a job at Universal in 1987 (after Circle had turned down backing Sam RaimisEvil Dead!

His projects includedDarkman,Do The Right Thing,andTremors.

He tried to getThe Princess Of Marsmade at Paramount, forSky Captaindirector Kerry Conran to helm.

He was also trying to get a western made, based around HomersThe Iliad.

Jacks, though, died of a heart attack at the age of 66, back in 2014.

He was widely recognized as a studio executive who loved, and fought for, filmmakers.

His former roommates screenplay,The Burbs, became his first project.

Friendly stayed with Imagine until 1994, executive producing theMy Girlfilms,For Love Or Money,andGreedy.

The name of the film wasnt revealed, but it turned out to beHeavenCan Wait, starring Warren Beatty.

Lieberman thus became Beattys personal assistant for a year, writing screenplays on the side.

But by his early 30s, he was stuck.

Which is about whenPremierecaught up with him.

Once hed completed his stint at Universal, Lieberman moved on to producing in 1996.

Again, this kept him busy.

He also runs his own production company, The Hal Lieberman Company.

When Gordon became president of 20th Century Fox, he quickly appointed Levin.

Gordon would set up The Gordon Company, and then move across to Largo, where Levin followed.

But even at the time of the article, its clear there was a frustrated filmmaker here.

I think Id rather be much more directly involved, he mused.

Lots of movies, in fact.

You cant fault the mans taste, either.

Projects hes produced includeMystery Men,Hellboy,Watchmen,Boogie Nights,Event Horizon,and theTomb Raidermovies.

He has a couple more movies in development now too.

The chances of any consumer magazine running a similar article now are surely slim too.
