Deadline: Film director/TV producer Tony Krantz has signed with CAA. This marks a return to CAA for Krantz, who started his career in the agency’s mailroom and rose to head of CAA’s primetime packaging, where he helped put together ER, The West Wing, Twin Peaks and Beverly Hills 90210. After a stint as CEO of Imagine Television, Krantz segued into film directing about four years ago and has helmed three features, including most recently The Big Bang, with three other potential film-directing vehicles in the works. Krantz, who was at WME, is currently mounting a big push in television through his indie production company Flame Ventures, which has eight projects set up at various networks.

AMC Networks is accusing CAA and its legal team of judicial misconduct in their suit along with Frank Darabont seeking tens of millions of dollars from the TV series “The Walking Dead.” AMC contends that a senior CAA executive purported to be an attorney providing legal counsel in the case really was not.
CAA has signed Justin Theroux. The actor/screenwriter, who'd been repped by UTA, will next be seen starring opposite Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd in the David Wain-directed comedy Wanderlust.
