Ghosn hires CAA founder Michael Ovitz to evaluate film, TV deals
Ghosn made headlines late last year afteron financial misconduct charges and misuse of corporate resources for personal gain. He fled to Lebanon.
Since resurfacing, Ghosn has adamantly denied all charges against him and defended his decision to become an international fugitive as he felt it was a necessity to receive a fair trial and "escape injustice." His escape plan reportedly included a former U.S. Army Green Beret and the ex-executive hiding in a music equipment case.
Bloomberg estimated that a deal with a studio could be a strategic financial move for the executive. Ghosn forfeited $14 million in bail money when he fled Japan and a security expert, according to the publication, estimated his escape could have cost another $15 million.—CNBC's Phil LeBeau contributed to this report.
