Gary Sanchez Productions was an American film and television production company founded by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay.
History[]
Gary Sanchez Productions was founded in 2006 by comedians and filmmakers Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. The company is named after a fictional "Paraguayan entrepreneur and financier", Gary Sanchez.[1] In 2007, McKay and Ferrell also founded the video site Funny or Die, under the ownership of the production company. The logo is depicted as a hand pouring a cup of coffee and placing a gun (later a whip) on the table, while a raspy voice in Spanish says, "¿Esta bien, duro, a'ight?" (meaning "Okay, tough, a'ight?")
In August 2018, the company entered a three-year first look feature deal with Paramount Pictures.[2]
On April 8, 2019, it was announced that Ferrell and McKay would be dissolving their partnership, and that all developed projects at that time would continue to be completed.[3] It was later revealed the reason for the split was due to the fact that McKay cast John C. Reilly as Jerry Buss on the show Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, a role that Ferrell wanted, without letting Ferrell know.[4]
In October 2019, McKay founded Hyperobject Industries.[5] In January 2020, it was announced that Ferrell had become a partner at the company's former sister label and now successor Gloria Sanchez Productions, taking on new projects with a reorganized company with Gloria Sanchez partner, Jessica Elbaum.[6]
The company will continue to exist by name to release further remaining films that are in development for an undisclosed period.
