Nicola Maccanico Decides Not To Take Up Role As CEO Of Fremantle Days After Being Unveiled In The Role

However, in an open letter posted a few days later on Italian website Dago Spia, Italy’s equivalent of the Drudge Report, the exec said he would not be taking up the role due to “a hostile climate” surrounding his resignation from Cinecittà over the summer and the new position at Fremantle. Maccanico was announced with great fanfare with a role overseeing Fremantle Italy’s local operations and labels including Wildside, The Apartment Pictures, Lux Vide. Fremantle confirmed the news that their new hire is not joining after all, but no reason has yet been established for the departure, which coming so soon after the splashy announcement is sure to fuel industry chatter in Italy and beyond.
