Jeremy Geffen Says Jacob Latimore Will Be the Breakout Superstar of the Summer

May 6, 2014 - Jeremy Geffen, founder of Geffen Management Group, is one of most sought after talent management professionals in Hollywood and has helped music clients achieve combined sales of over 75 million units, establishing his television, film, music management and consulting firm as one of the premier entertainment management companies in Los Angeles.

In a recent interview, Jeremy Geffen was asked about his entertainment industry outlook for the rest of 2014 and was effusive in his praise for the multi-talented recording star Jacob Latimore.

"With a combination of outstanding musical talent, movie-star good looks and acting skills that have been lauded by critics nationwide, Jacob Latimore is the complete package," says Geffen. "With a new single scheduled to drop this summer on RCA Records and a new film in September, Latimore is poised to conquer Hollywood before he turns 18 this August."

Jacob Latimore is currently enjoying a wave of commercial and critical success. Last year, Latimore starred as young Langston Hughes opposite Forest Whitaker, Angela Bassett and Jennifer Hudson in the musical drama "Black Nativity", a contemporary adaptation of Langston Hughes' celebrated play. Latimore also contributed his considerable musical talent to the hit soundtrack.

Most recently, Latimore was seen in a coveted role in the blockbuster action-comedy "Ride Along", working with Ice Cube and Kevin Hart. The film has grossed over $130 million dollars to date, making it one of the top grossing movies of 2014.

Jeremy Geffen is especially impressed with the young talent's maturity and career focus. "Jacob is incredibly hard working and committed to developing his craft both inside the recording studio and on the sound stage," explains Geffen. "He resisted the temptation of being a one-hit wonder to build a lasting and successful entertainment career and there's no doubt in my mind he is well on his way."
