- Struggling Sony Pictures Entertainment (SNE -0.2%) may be getting closer to a replacement for Michael Lynton, with former Fox Networks Group chief Tony Vinciquerra moving into pole position to lead the studio, Variety reports.
- That would mean a boss with more TV experience than film. Last month, reports tied Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara to interviews, though Warner said he "wasn't interviewed and isn't going anywhere."
- Since leaving Fox, Vinciquerra has acted as a consultant in the industry (and to TPG Capital). His appeal to Sony may center on his management skills leading a big operation like Fox's networks during rapid growth.
