Emma Stone and Dave McCary’s Fruit Tree Signs First-Look Deal With Universal

Universal has signed a first look deal with Fruit Tree, the production company from two-time Oscar winner Emma Stone, Emmy nominated writer-director Dave McCary and Ali Herting.

Founded by married couple Stone and McCary in 2020, with Herting joining shortly thereafter, Fruit Tree co-produced Yorgos Lanthimos’ Oscar-winning “Poor Things,” which earned Stone her second Academy Award for Best Actress. Fruit Tree has also produced several acclaimed independent films released this year, including Julio Torres’ “Problemista,” Jane Schoenbrun’s “I Saw the TV Glow,” and Jesse Eisenberg’s upcoming Sundance hit “A Real Pain.”

“I’ve long admired Emma’s versatility as an actress, fearlessly embodying every role. Paired with Dave’s distinctive comedic voice and creative instincts, we’ve seen the incredible work they have accomplished together.
