In November 2025, Imagine Entertainment, the production company founded by acclaimed director Ron Howard and producer Brian Grazer, celebrates its 40th anniversary. The pair, who have worked together for decades, sat down for a special interview to discuss the secrets behind their enduring partnership and the impressive body of work they have created over the past four decades.
Howard and Grazer attribute their success to "quality alignment" - a shared commitment to trust, transparency, and a strong work ethic. "There's never been a time we've been on autopilot," Howard remarked, reflecting on their collaborative journey.

The company has also expanded into television, producing hit shows like '24', 'Arrested Development', and 'Friday Night Lights'. As they look to the future, Howard and Grazer are excited about their upcoming slate, which includes projects ranging from a 'Spaceballs' sequel to the Luca Guadagnino-directed drama 'After The Hunt'.
