Nathan Samdahl and Nick Romano have been tapped as executives at Hamada's Paramount-based horror banner.

While at Players, Samdahl discovered and bought, the creepy horror project from Parker Finn, and oversaw its making. But in a woeful turn of event, layoffs at the studio last spring saw the executive exit the Melrose lot. The movie, meanwhile, was released theatrically half a year later, after initially being bound for streaming, and became a bonafide hit. It grossed more than $216 million worldwide on a $17 million budget, and was one of the most profitable movies of the year.

Keeping on the “sort of homecoming” theme, Romano joins Hamada from New Line, where he worked as a CE for execs Nikki Ramey and Celia Khong. He began his career in 2018 at ICM Partners in the mailroom before landing as a Motion Picture Literary Assistant to Bryan Diperstein and Harley Copen. The Queens-born exec graduated from Brooklyn College with a B.A. in screenwriting. During his time there, he completed 10 internships including at A24, Bleecker Street and Dimension Films.
