In something of a coup, indieWIRE snags Anne Thompson to join our orbit. Anne is the well known Hollywood columnist formerly of both the Hollywood Reporter and most recently Variety. She is very well known; highly regarded; very connected; and very smart. Her blog is one that I read all of the time and it will now be seen on indieWIRE starting on Sunday evening. Enjoy it and welcome aboard Anne!
