Lorenzo di Bonaventura

What fascinates me about Lorenzo di Bonaventura is the quiet power of the producer's chair. A Harvard graduate who chose to build blockbusters rather than star in them, he steered the Transformers and G.I. Joe franchises to over seven billion dollars at the box office. Audiences remember the explosions and the stars, but rarely the person who assembled the financing, the talent, and the vision. I admire that kind of invisible architecture. He represents a breed of Hollywood operator who shapes culture from behind the curtain, and I find that craft far more interesting than fame itself.
