Davis oversaw physical production at MGM from 2003-2005, then returned to producing. His recent credits include the Justin Timberlake-starrer In Time and the comedies Your Highness and Role Models.
“We are thrilled to welcome Andy to our Team”, Belgrad said. “As both an executive and a producer, he has extraordinary skill and enormous experience and he brings with him a disciplined and cost conscious approach to production management”.
