Revolution Studios Founder Joe Roth to Headline the "Keynote Conversation” at Variety’s Entertainment and Technology Summit on May 3, 2010

Joe Roth’s legendary status in Hollywood truly makes Variety’s summit a valuable, must-attend event for the entire industry. The former chairman of Walt Disney Studios and 20^th Century Fox is enjoying a hot streak this year, producing the highest-grossing movie released in 2010 to date with Alice in Wonderland. Right around the corner is the June 25^th release of Knight and Day, also produced by Roth and features the high-profile action return of Tom Cruise.

Roth’s longevity in the entertainment business should offer important lessons to others in the field. In its seven years of operation, Revolution has churned out 47 feature films including Black Hawk Down, XXX, Anger Management, Maid in Manhattan and Rocky Balboa.

For the "Keynote” session, Roth will be interviewed by Variety Executive Editor Steven Gaydos.

The "Keynote” will kick off Variety’s Entertainment and Technology Summit, which explores today’s dynamic intersection of TV, film and new media. The one-day event, co-located with Digital Hollywood at the Loews Santa Monica Hotel, will investigate the role of financing new media projects, the impact of corporate brands on film and TV, and the mechanics of Webisode production, among other relevant topics.
