Nina Jacobson Biography

Nina Jacobson is one of the most popular and richest Film Producer who was born on November 30, 1965 in Los Angeles, California, United States. Nina Jacobson (born September 15 1965) is an American film executive who, from July 2006, served as president of the Buena Vista Motion Pictures Group, which is a part that is part of The Walt Disney Company. Together with Dawn Steel, Gail Berman and Sherry Lansing Sherry Lansing, she was among the few of women who headed an Hollywood film studio in the 1980s. She started her own production firm called Color Force in 2007, and was also the producer of The Hunger Games film series.

She was in the year 1998 when she relocated in 1998 to Disney which was in charge of developing scripts and overseeing the production of films at Walt Disney Pictures, Touchstone Pictures and Hollywood Pictures. The projects she worked on as studio executive included The Sixth Sense, Remember the Titans, Pearl Harbor, The Princess Diaries, The Chronicles of Narnia, and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. To recognize her efforts in helping in the advancement that women play in the industry of entertainment, Women in Film awarded her the Crystal Award in 2003. The year 2005 was the time when Forbes magazine named Jacobson one of “The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women” in recognition of her accomplishments.

Closely associated with film director M. Night Shyamalan at Disney (besides The Sixth Sense, she also worked with him on Unbreakable, Signs and The Village), she and Shyamalan clashed during pre-production of his 2006 film, Lady in the Water. Shyamalan left the studio after Jacobson and others became, in Shyamalan’s eyes, overly critical of his script, which would eventually be produced by Warner Bros. Shyamalan is quoted in a book about the difficult period that he “had witnessed the decay of her creative vision right before [his] own wide-open eyes. She didn’t want iconoclastic directors. She wanted directors who made money.” In her own defense, Jacobson said, “in order to have a Hollywood relationship more closely approximate a real relationship, you have to have a genuine back and forth of the good and the bad. Different people have different ideas about respect. For us, being honest is the greatest show of respect for a filmmaker.”

By the start of 2007, she was back at work, this time at her own newly established production company, Color Force. Color Force signed a three-year “first-look” production deal with DreamWorks in December 2006. The first feature project released in theaters was Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010). She also produced the 2011 feature One Day.

Jacobson has a wife, Jen Bleakley, with whom she has three children. In 1995 she along with American Beauty creator Bruce Cohen formed Out There an organization of LGBT and lesbian industry professionals.
