Personal details
- Professions: Producer, Executive
Andrew Lazar? The dude’s got a killer resume, no joke. He’s not one of those Hollywood types who just stumbled into the biz—he actually put in the work, double-majoring at NYU in film production and political science. (Yeah, overachiever vibes, but in a good way.) Straight outta school, he jumped into a big gig as executive VP at Dino DeLaurentiis Communications. Not exactly a starter job, right? While he was there, he helped cook up films like "Bound" and "Unforgettable"—the kind of movies that get people talking at Sundance. But Lazar didn’t just stop there. He went all-in, snapping up the script for "Assassins," shaping it, and getting it made. Not everyone in Hollywood’s got the guts (or taste, honestly) to spot a script worth fighting for, but this guy does. On top of that, he produced "The Maker" for HBO, which showed up at the Toronto Film Festival in ‘97. That’s a pretty sweet run for someone who hadn’t even set up his own shop yet. Speaking of which, he did just that—Mad Chance, his own production company. And it’s not like he’s stuck working with just one studio. Sure, there’s that Warner Bros. connection, but Mad Chance bounces around, doing projects with New Line Cinema, Touchstone—you name it. Basically, if there’s something interesting going on in Hollywood, there’s a good shot Lazar’s at least got his fingerprints on it somewhere. Dude’s all over the map, and the industry’s better for it.
Oh, you want a slice of movie trivia? So, here’s the scoop: the main character is engaged to Erica Zodtner. Yeah, that’s a name you don’t forget in a hurry. Their relationship isn’t just some boring background detail, either. It’s got layers—awkward conversations, messy feelings, the works. Everybody around them seems to have an opinion about their engagement, and honestly, it adds a little spice to the whole storyline. You know how these things go—plans get complicated, people get cold feet, and suddenly what looked simple turns into a total circus. Erica herself isn’t just arm candy; she’s got her own quirks and ambitions, making her more than just a plot device. There’s drama, there’s tension, and, let’s be real, probably a few laughs at their expense. Their engagement isn’t just about rings or fancy parties—it’s a big ol’ catalyst for everything else that goes sideways.
