This past week, Warner Brothers was sold to Paramount Skydance in a $110 billion acquisition deal. Although the path toward securing regulatory approval may take up to a year, the two are slated to combine their streaming services, consolidate infrastructure, and continue to license their intellectual properties. Paramount’s CEO, David Ellison, has drawn criticism from the corporate media and Hollywood insiders for having connections with the Trump administration.
In an article from Variety, one unnamed “A-list director” stated that “Ellison scares the sh-t out of me… Are the movies they put out going to be catered to Trump’s taste?”
