O’Connor told Deadline, “I couldn’t be more excited to embark on this new adventure with Amy, ” whom she called “a mentor and inspiration.” She met Pascal working as her reader at Turner Pictures. Pascal said O’Connor was “one of the most brilliant executives working in the industry today with impeccable taste and very strong talent relationships. There is no one I would rather start this next chapter.”
