David Guillod, 53, has produced the successful films "Atomic Blonde" and "Tyler Rake".
He was arraigned Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles and remains in custody.
"On October 21, 2020, a female victim whose identity is protected said she was sexually assaulted by Guillod during a meeting" organized in the evening, the Los Angeles police said in a statement.
Last June, Guillod was charged with eleven felonies for various assaults dating back to 2012 and pleaded not guilty.
He is notably accused of having kidnapped and raped a woman in Santa Barbara during a business seminar, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The producer was also publicly accused of sexual assault by actress Jessica Barth ("Ted"), who claimed to have been drugged at a meeting in 2012. It was not until five years later, in favor of the #MeToo movement, which the actress had dared to make her accusations.
David Guillod is the latest of many film industry executives to be indicted on sexual assault charges in the wake of #MeToo, which notably culminated in the conviction in New York of ousted Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein , to 23 years in prison.
