Wolfgang Petersen Hooks up With Warner Bros. By SKillBot, (DT) January 12, 2001 11:01 AM PT

His start in the movie industry came when he directed Das Boot (great flic!). From there, he's only gone up. His last four films have progressively increased in gross, setting a record for Warner Brothers at $327 million. "I had such a good experience with the studio that when they tried to get me there, there wasn't much reluctance on my part," Petersen said. "I'd done 'Outbreak' there and thought it would be the place to spend the next couple of years. Petersen will move his Radiant Prods. shingle over to the WB lot, and he has promoted senior VP Samuel Dickerman to prexy.
