# Radar Pictures

Radar Pictures, Inc. is an American motion picture production company that was formed in 2000 by Ted Field, after obtaining the assets of Interscope Communications.

## History

In 2000, Interscope Communications was spun off after Field bought out a share of the company's assets from USA Films and became Radar Pictures, and acquired the use of Interscope's film library in its development slate, as well as its set of features that were slated to be Interscope productions. Ted Field continued to partner with longtime Interscope partner Scott Kroopf at Radar Pictures.
In 2001, the company struck a deal with Good Machine International to handle sale of the company's film productions. The deal does not include existing projects that were set up at other studios. The company's first film, They, was released in 2002. Good Machine eventually merged with USA Films and Universal Focus to form Focus Features, which inherited sales of Radar's productions for several years.
Also that year, the company formed a partnership with Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, to start Platinum Dunes, with a deal at Radar Pictures. Only two pictures came out of the deal, which are remakes of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Horsemen and The Amityville Horror.
Later that year, the company signed deals with TMG/Concorde, Lauren Film and Sandrew Metronome to market films for the European market. In 2002, Peter Berg, who attempted to do Truck 44, struck a deal with the company. Also that year, former United Artists executive Lindsay Doran signed a two-year deal with the studio.
In 2004, Scott Kroopf, who was a longtime partner left Radar to join Intermedia. That year, the company started partnerships with A. Demetrius (Tony) Brown to form Radar & CMX Entertainment to produce urban and Latin projects, and a deal with Core Digital Pictures, to develop CGI-animated feature films for kids. In 2006, the company begin setting up its own independent financing structure to finance 25 studio films with $20 million budgets for the next few years. In 2007, the company begin financing films with Media Rights Capital and Warner Bros. Pictures to fund two films.
In 2015, the company partnered with Paul Kampf Studios to develop and produce micro-budget feature films. In 2016, the company signed a deal with Rodney Henry to start a joint venture Protege Media to develop film and television projects. Also that year, the company was sued by BMG Rights Management, claiming Radar's film slate was fraudulent. In 2018, Chris Van Allsburg and Radar Pictures set up a deal with 20th Century Fox to produce films based on his literary titles. In 2022, the company signed a deal with Buchwald for representation.
