WME Lands CAA Power Duo

WME has significantly expanded its Motion Picture Literary department with the addition of senior partners Trevor Astbury and Matt Martin. The two agents, who were previously at CAA, bring with them a substantial roster of high-profile writers and directors. This move represents a major acquisition for WME, aiming to enhance its capabilities and client services within the competitive entertainment landscape.

Astbury and Martin expressed their enthusiasm for joining WME, citing the agency's vision and collaborative energy as key factors in their decision. They look forward to unlocking new opportunities for their clients and further growing their businesses under the WME umbrella. WME Group Co-Chairman Richard Weitz welcomed the new partners, highlighting their exceptional talent and the positive reception from the industry.

Astbury, who spent 12 years at CAA and began his career at Paradigm, is joined by notable clients such as Jon Spaihts and Travis Knight. Martin, with over 15 years at CAA, brings clients including Josh Cooley and Kat Coiro to WME. This influx of talent is expected to further solidify WME's standing as a leading talent agency.
