Oliver Stone Signs With Atlas Artists

EXCLUSIVE: Last time we heard from Oliver Stone, he was in Cannes for a special screening of Lula, his documentary on the incredible comeback of Brazilian leader Luiz Inacio da Silva and his reemergence from a prison cell to the presidency when it was exposed by a hacker that he was the target of an effort to bring Lula down. The three-time Oscar-winning filmmaker said at that time he had one more ambitious narrative film he was hellbent on directing. He has just signed with Atlas Artists for representation in all areas to make that dream a reality.

Stone would not divulge what this project is, nor would his new rep team elaborate. Suffice to say it will have a strong point of view, as he has shown on an acclaimed resume that includes Salvador, Platoon, Wall Street, Born on the Fourth of July, The Doors, JFK, Heaven and Earth, Natural Born Killers, Nixon, Any Given Sunday, and many others. His Oscars came for Best Adapted Screenplay for Salvador, Best Director for Platoon, and Best Director for Born on the Fourth of July. He has also received a BAFTA, five Golden Globes, two DGA awards for best director, and a WGA award for best adapted screenplay.
