Nicolas Veinberg
Nicolas Veinberg has been hustling in the entertainment world for over two decades, wearing just about every hat you can imagine—producer, developer, dealmaker, marketing brain, you name it. The guy’s not just floating around either; he owns Content Studios, which smashes together tech, art, and pure entertainment in this wild new venture. Right now, he’s cooking up a fresh lineup of films, TV projects, and even this whole Web3 thing that everyone’s buzzing about.
First out the gate from Content Studios is "My Penguin Friend." It’s got Jean Reno front and center, and honestly, you can’t go wrong with Jean Reno and a penguin, right? The movie’s based on this heart-melting true story about an old fisherman and the penguin he saves—think weirdly wholesome, but with a cast that makes it pop. Next up for Veinberg is "A Silent Death," his first big home-turf production down in Argentina, with Joaquin Furriel and Soledad Villamil leading the charge.
If you dig a little into his past work, he’s stacked up some serious credits under Defiant Pictures, his last gig. Stuff like "Being Charlie," which dives into the messy world of rehab and growing up, directed by Rob Reiner (yeah, that Rob Reiner) with Nick Robinson and Common. Then there’s "Elsa & Fred," a sweet remake with Christopher Plummer and Shirley MacLaine that proves you’re never too old to fall in love. And don’t forget "Dark Places," pulling in Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult for a gritty thriller based on Gillian Flynn’s bestseller. Since 2020, Veinberg’s been rolling with the Producers Guild of America. Not bad at all.
