Loss of principals clouds Mirage slate

May 27, 2008 Pollack was a principal in the company with Anthony Minghella, who died March 18, and few companies have faced the death of two partners in such a short period of time, leaving not only the question of what happens to their titles but also what becomes of the company. Other companies that have lost partners have soldiered on -- even thrived -- after the death of a partner (witness Jerry Bruckheimer Films after Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer Films). Insiders said Mirage projects -- those that are not partnered with other producers -- might find themselves under the wings of Pollack's agents at CAA and his family, who might try to keep them going.
