Producer

Jon Jashni is a media investor and content producer who operates through his company Raintree Ventures. Prior to founding Raintree, Jashni was President and Chief Creative Officer of Legendary Entertainment where, as an aspect of his duties, he oversaw the development and production of content such as Kong: Skull Island (2017), Warcraft (2016), Godzilla (2014), The Great Wall (2016), Crimson Peak (2015), the Jackie Robinson biopic '42 (2013)', Lost in Space (2018) and Pacific Rim (2013) . He co-founded the company in January 2006 and was integrally involved over the following ten years in evolving the company from a film-financing entity into a diversified, multi-platform media company. Prior to joining Legendary, Jashni was President of Hyde Park Entertainment, a production and financing company with output deals at 20th Century Fox, Disney and MGM. While there, he oversaw the production of Shopgirl (2005), Dreamer (2005), Walking Tall (2004) and Premonition (2007). Before joining Hyde Park, Jashni produced the romantic comedy hit Sweet Home Alabama (2002) for Disney/Touchstone. He also co-produced two films that received a total of three Academy Award® nominations: the critically acclaimed drama The Hurricane (1999), which garnered a "Best Actor" nomination for Denzel Washington, and Anna and the King (1999), which starred Jodie Foster, and earned two Oscar nominations. He also, while a senior production executive at 20th Century Fox, oversaw the development and production of the fairy-tale success Ever After: A Cinderella Story (1998). Jashni was earlier partnered with media power broker Irving Azoff at the Warner Bros. -based Giant Pictures. Together they produced The Hurricane (1999), Jack Frost (1998) and The Inkwell (1994). Jashni joined Azoff after serving as a production executive at Columbia Pictures, where he was involved with such films as Groundhog Day (1993) and Dracula (1992). Jashni began his career at Daniel Melnick's The IndieProd Company, where he was involved in the production of Roxanne (1987), Air America (1990), Mountains of the Moon (1990), and Punchline (1988). Jashni is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Producers Guild of America in addition to being a Trustee Emeritus of the American Film Institute. He holds a BS from the University of Southern California and an MBA from UCLA's Anderson School of Management.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
