The New York-based media company is also in talks with Oscar-nominated producer Michael De Luca to be Gianopulos's No. 2, in charge of film production, the Journal said late Wednesday, citing two people familiar with the matter. If appointed, Gianopulos will replace Brad Grey who stepped down last month after leading Paramount for 12 years. Gianopulos and De Luca could be officially named as soon as the end of this week, the Journal added. Gianopulos, who was replaced last year at Fox by Stacey Snider, has been a top prospect for several jobs in Hollywood, according to the Journal.
