HOLLYWOOD EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, WHO PRODUCED ‘RAMBO’, ‘TERMINATOR’, ‘TOTAL RECALL’ VAJNA DIES AT 74
Executive producer of several “Rambo” films as well as “Total Recall” and several “Terminator” movies Andy Vajna, died at 74.
The Hungarian National Film Fund confirmed his death, calling him a “dominant figure in the Hungarian and international film industry” who was responsible for the development of the fund.
With partner Mario Kassar, Vajna founded the indie powerhouse Carolco, which produced blockbusters including “Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” the first three “Rambo” films and “Basic Instinct.” Carolco was one of the most successful companies in the foreign pre-sales business, and a mainstay at the world’s film markets.
He was a founder and president of the American Film Marketing Assn., which launched the American Film Market.
Vajna served as producer or executive producer on films including “Evita,” starring Madonna, Oliver Stone’s “Nixon,” “Judge Dredd,” “Die Hard With a Vengeance” and “Angel Heart.”
He left Carolco in 1989 to form Cinergi Productions and InterCom
