Thomas Tull Leaves Brash Entertainment

Development studio Brash Entertainment was dealt a blow today, as board member Thomas Tull resigned from the company. Tull, the chairman and CEO of film studio Legendary Pictures, was one of the co-founders of Brash when it was founded year, and was a major factor in helping to raise Brash’s initial $400 million in private funding.

No official word was given for Tull’s decision to leave Brash, though it’s been reported that he was unhappy with the performance of Brash’s initial releases: Alvin & the Chipmunks, Space Chimps, and Jumper: Griffin’s Story. Tull was also apparently unhappy with the overall direction the company was taking. Even so, Tull still apparently remains one of Brash’s major investors.

Tull has made no secret of his interest in the video game industry. As head of Legendary Pictures, he’s been responsible for brokering deals which will see both World of Warcraft and Gears of War make the jump to the silver screen. Brash, meanwhile, has games in development based on 300, Night at the Museum 2, Saw, and Clash of the Titans, to name just a few.

Tull’s departure is the second major blow to Brash’s top brass, as president and co-founder Nicholas Longano left the company back in May.
