Edit ProfileCareer
In December 2015, the Federal Bureau of Investigation discovered that Kosove was linked to the leak of Quentin Tarantino"s The Hateful Eight. The company became known as Alcon Entertainment. Their first feature film, Lost & Foundation, was a failure at the box office.
However, their second film, My Dog Skip, "was the 75th-highest-grossing film of 2000—and Alcon made a tidy profit of roughly $20 million." Later, they produced P.S. I Love You, Dude, Where"s My Carolina?, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, The Book of Eli, et cetera
In 2009, Kosove produced alongside Johnson, Alcon"s, "The Blind Side," which received financial backing from JPMorgan Chase. The film was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar and earned Sandra Bullock the Oscar for Best Actress.
Additionally, Kosove produced "Dolphin Tale". Other films produced by Alcon include "Insomnia and 16 Blocks.
Alcon"s next release was Joyful Noise, a music-driven comedy starring Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton, released January 13, 2012.
In December 2015, the Federal Bureau of Investigation discovered that Kosove was the source of Quentin Tarantino"s Western film The Hateful Eight being leaked online via Digital Video Disc screener. Kosove responded by issuing the following statement: "The screener copy of ‘The Hateful Eight’ that was sent to me at Alcon Entertainment never touched my hands nor was I aware that it had been delivered." He added, "We"re going to do more than cooperate with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. We"re going to conduct our own investigation to find out what happened.".
