From Deadline:

Range Media Partners Adds 20 Clients To Roster; Bradley Cooper, Ramy Youssef, Anna Kendrick, Emilia Clarke & Tom Hardy Among Names

EXCLUSIVE: Following the news of its launch and the announcement of its new name, Range Media Partners looks to have made a major splash with its first round of signings to its roster. Sources tell Deadline that the management company has signed 18 clients that include Naomi Ackie, Michael Bay, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Jessie Buckley, Jerrod Carmichael, Emilia Clarke, Bradley Cooper, Johnny Depp, Taron Egerton, Michael Fassbender, Luca Guadagnino, Tom Hardy, Stephan James, Anna Kendrick, Taylor Kitsch, Keira Knightley, Danny McBride/Rough House Pictures, Martin McDonagh, Michael Shannon and Ramy Youssef.

Sources added it is unknown at this time what these clients would be doing with regard to their other reps. Range Media Partners had no comment.

Deadline first revealed plans last month that the upstart management company was being launched by Pete Micelli with CAA agents Dave Bugliari, Michael Cooper, Mick Sullivan and Jack Whigham, UTA agents Mackenzie Condon Roussos, Susie Fox, Chelsea McKinnies and Lucinda Moorhead, and WME lit agent Rich Cook all joining the company. Principal backing is coming from hedge fund billionaire Steve Cohen, with Microsoft CMO Mich Matthews-Spradlin and Grubhub founder/CEO Matt Maloney providing additional backing.

There had been whispers for weeks about which clients would be joining Range, and while the number of A-list talent that is joining the roster is impressive, its far from surprising given how long so many of these clients had been with each rep over the years.

The news comes after the company named Matt Graham a partner who would head the music department which will be managing musicians, records and publishing.

I’d read this article but I guess I don’t understand why Johnny would want yet another pair of hands digging into his wallet. I see CAA is involved. Are they still his film agents?

Perhaps he’s hoping to get more effective representation on the music end? Someone named Matt Graham has been hired as a partner to head the music department. Haven’t a clue about Mr. Graham’s accomplishments, but perhaps he will lend a fresh perspective to the possibilities embedded in Johnny’s broad range of music-related talents. Would love to see those plumbed to their very depths.

Thanks for posting the article, SnoopyDances!

It looks like his previous agent,Christian Carino, started a new venture:
Hollywood Talent Agency CAA, Fashion Public Relations Agency KCD Form Strategic Partnership


From the looks of things, CAA is branching out from being just a talent agency. I'm not that savvy on how all this works or how Johnny may or may not be involved. I am guessing that with these connections/mergers, they are in a better position to represent his movies, music, and fashion. And who knows what else!
