However, Mediawan, which has been backed by KKR &amp; Co, is the front-runner, per Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<p>Plan B is expected to make a final decision in the next couple of weeks. Deadline has reached out for comment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pitt founded Plan B in 2001 alongside his then-wife Jennifer Aniston and manager Brad Grey. The company has had a strong run of awards winners including Best Picture Oscars for <em>12 Years a Slave, Moonlight<\/em> and <em>The Departed<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Should Plan B sell a stake, it would follow other star-fronted labels like Reese Witherspoon&rsquo;s Hello Sunshine, which sold to a firm backed by private-equity giant Blackstone Group last year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Paris-based Mediawan has been on a recent expansion spree, and has grown through acquisitions in Europe.<\/p>\n<h2>Must Read Stories<\/h2>\n<h3>Imagine &#038; Ron Howard Mount True-Crime Thriller \u2018Origin Of Species\u2019 Ahead Of AFM<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ron-Howard-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h3>Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Leads Disney+ &#8216;Wonder Man&#8217;; Cristin Milioti In Peacock&#8217;s &#8216;The Penguin&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cri.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h3>Plan A For Brad Pitt&#8217;s Plan B Might Be Equity Sale To French Company Mediawan<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Brad-Pitt-Dede-Gardner-Jeremy-Kleiner.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h3>Hollywood Exodus: Who&#8217;s Gone, Threatening To Go &#038; Refusing To Leave<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tom-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2>Read More About:<\/h2>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2022\/10\/plan-b-mediawan-sale-talks-1235159680\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plan B Entertainment, the award-winning company co-founded by Brad Pitt, is in talks to sell a significant stake to French media group Mediawan.
