“We joke about it sometimes, how novel it became to activate fan bases and appreciate good, artistic horror this year,” says David Boxerbaum, a partner and motion picture lit agent at Verve. “But for us, it’s always been cool.

It’s always been an area of specialization and really intense focus for our business.” They’re dead serious. Co-founders Adam Levine and Bryan Besser, along with agent Michael Bitar (formerly head of development at Sony’s Screen Gems), have quietly stacked a deep roster of spooky superstars — negotiating dozens of deals and media rights sales in 2026 alone.

Representing the rights holders, Verve fielded offers from 101 Studios, Amazon MGM, Blumhouse, Neon, Netflix, Paramount, Sony and Universal. Indie studio A24 defeated them all, attaching “Obsession” helmer Barker to direct a film and Glen Powell to produce a TV series inspired by the “Chainsaw” serial killer Leatherface.

Clients Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein shot to fame in 2025 for co-directing “Final Destination: Bloodlines” — a revival that cost $50 million for New Line and netted almost $320 million at the worldwide box office.

Verve has set up 12 development projects for Lipovsky and Stein across town (including “Gremlins 3” at Warner Bros. and “Metal Gear Solid” at Sony, where the pair now enjoy a first-look deal courtesy of their agents).
