Right you are but wait there's moar.

 

Gate Ventures

The company has expertise in the world of theatre, mainly due to the experience of the CEO Geoff Morrow who has been involved in the entertainment world for most of his life.

 

Box office gross receipts from theatre have nearly doubled in the last thirteen years and now amount to over £1,083 million in 2013 in the UK (according to BFI film forever statistic year book 2014) and an astonishing USD 1,370 million on Broadway (according to The Statistics Portal). A successful show can see vast returns but the key, of course is to identify which shows will be hits and which will be flops. It is in that area that the company believes it has a great edge over the individual investor.

Hanks reference to "the gate" along with Sarah Ferguson's timely departure from Gate Venture coincides with Gervais' China reference? Or all just a coincidence?

This keeps getting better. I am more convinced than ever that Gate Venture is 'the gate". Too many connections here, Hollywood, China, The Royal's, etc. for it to be a coincidence. Just discovered a connection to Bill Gates as well. Still digging.
