History
Tollion/Robbins Productions was formed by Brian Robbins and Mike Tollin around 1997 with early films were sports documentaries.[1]
In 2002, Tollin/Robbins Productions (T/RP) agreed to a two year first look movie deal With Paramount Pictures while having a TV joint venture agreement with Warner Bros.. With the Paramount agreement, T/RP hired Caitlin Scanlon to head the film division which will produce or direct 2-3 films a year.[2]
While two of their pilots are in consideration for pick up on ABC in April 2003, Tollin/Robbins has agreed to a two year development deal, included a two year option, profit sharing and outside sales, with Touchstone Television. In May, T/RP's agreement with Warner Bros. expired.[3]
Under the ABC Studio (formerly Touchstone TV) deal, two series were developed, NBC drama “Inconceivable” and ABC comedy “Savages”, that reached the small screen in the 2005-2006 season but where quickly canceled. NBC Universal TV Studio ended their TV production agreement in June 2006 with TRP with no series produced under the deal.[1]
In March 2007 with the expiration of TRP's production deal with Disney, Tollin and Robbins decided to scale back operations of TRP with the both of them taking on project independent of TRP. Robbins signed a two year first look production deal with DreamWorks, while Tollin had two movies in the works with one at Lionsgate and the other with Greenestreet Pictures and Mandeville Films. TRP would handle existing production and various projects already under development.[1]
In March 2010, Tollin/Robbins sued Warner Bros. over claims of misdealing in the amount of $100 million over the profits of the Smallville series in selling the show to affiliates The WB and The CW and by later including DC Comics as a profit participate. In January 2013, T/RP settled out of court with Warner Bros.[4]
