In March 2009, his responsibilities were expanded to include oversight of all of News Corporation's Los Angeles-based creative production divisions, including Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp., Fox Searchlight Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox Animation and Twentieth Century Fox Television. In this capacity he oversees feature film and television production and marketing, as well as global distribution spanning the theatrical, broadcast, cable, home entertainment, digital and mobile markets. Mr. Gianopulos has been involved in the film and television industry for more than 30 years and has played a leading role in the evolution of media and entertainment.
