Bob Cooper's Landscape Entertainment has tapped Michael Nash senior VP, with responsibilities to find, develop and package material.

Nash was most recently senior VP of development and acquisitions for Lynda Obst Prods., overseeing "Sydney to Hobart," "How to Tell He's Not the One in 10 Days" and "Immortals."

He was previously co-prexy of Primal Pictures, setting up foreign-language remakes such as "Kopps" at Sony, and a Paramount Classics VP involved in the acquisition of "'The Virgin Suicides" and "You Can Count on Me."

Cooper said his new hire's "obsessed with quality." The producer's in post-production on "John Tucker Must Die" for Fox and "Mr. Woodcock" for New Line; he's developing "The Crusaders," with Terrence Howard starring, for New Line.
