Sony Pictures exec leaving to start game company
Yair Landau, a 17-year veteran at Sony and head of its digital division at Sony Pictures Entertainment, is leaving the company in April to start his own game and animation studio. Landau plans to develop cross-media content and will continue to have involvement with the studio as an executive producer on Sony Animation's Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.
Landau also oversaw SOE's growth, which coincidentally became part of Sony Computer Entertainment today, with games like EverQuest. Landau is expected to make announcements about what his company is actually up to once he leaves Sony next month.
