Silver Pictures is an American film production company founded by Hollywood producer Joel Silver during 1980. The Silver Pictures logo, also called The Chip, is modeled on a block pattern that Frank Lloyd Wright designed for the exteriors of the legendary Storer House in Los Angeles. Silver has been a lifelong aficionado of Frank Lloyd Wright and has worked many of Wright’s works within both Silver Pictures and Dark Castle Entertainment. All pre-Universal Pictures deal films (starting with Ricochet) are owned and distributed by Warner Bros.
