Legendary Entertainment, known for hits like "Dune, " is joining forces with Patrick Wachsberger, the Oscar-winning producer of "CODA, " to create a new film venture called 193. Wachsberger, who has a long history in the industry, will lead this new company as CEO. 193 will focus on making and selling movies globally, working with other producers and financiers along the way. They'll also help with early-stage funding for promising projects.

Blair Rich, Legendary's marketing chief, will handle promotions for 193's movies. While Legendary is famous for big-budget films, they've also dabbled in independent sales, like in 2019 with Library Pictures International. This new venture, 193, aims to bring high-quality independent films to audiences worldwide.

Wachsberger has been involved in several successful ventures before, including Picture Perfect Federation. He'll continue to work on their projects while looking for ways 193 and Federation Studios can collaborate in the future.

For Legendary, this is part of a bigger picture of growth and change. They've recently bought out Wanda Group's stake and have exciting new films on the way, like "Dune: Part Two" and "Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire. "
