Storied Hollywood agency William Morris and (relatively) young agency Endeavor are in the final stages of planning a merger and have settled on a new name, reports Deadline Hollywood Daily and Variety. The merger should be finalized early next week, and will most likely be called WME Entertainment. William Morris’ clients include Mel Gibson, Quentin Tarantino, and Britney Spears. Endeavor — founded by Ari Emanuel, the inspiration for Entourage‘s Ari Gold — reps high-profile clients like Robert Pattinson, Hugh Jackman, and Christian Bale.

Rob Pattinson listed before Jackman and Bale. I luv that. As it should be. Pattinson’s awesome.
Endeavor should get their finger out and get Pattinson some more roles. We are impatient.
They need to release the next HP movie already so I can stop reading about this Twilight garbage.
HP ZZZzzzzzzzz the latest feedback is awful on that.
Maybe now Pattinson will get a good agent with the merger. Help him get some meaty roles. The Houdini one with Summit looks good
YAY for Rob becoming part of a bigger agency. He deserves that
Rob was AMAZING in How To Be, and Little Ashes. Now that he’ll be part of a better agency, I can’t wait for him to get more great roles.
I like it — cool.
