Paramount Skydance would keep Warner Bros as is, including the creatives

But this board said Gunn's being fired. Do I trust Bloomberg or the M/TV board?

quote:

Paramount Skydance doesn’t intend to pick apart Warner Bros. Discovery if they’re able to acquire their competitor.

According to a new report from Bloomberg, the entertainment company plans to keep much of WBD together if merged, including keeping the creative teams for the two studios.

Though, sources told the outlet Paramount Skydance’s CEO David Ellison would plan to consolidate some aspects of the business. This would impact those in marketing and distribution departments.

Ellison’s plan reportedly also called for HBO Max to merge into Paramount+, doing away with the former so that only one streamer was left for the newly merged company. Per the outlet, Ellison thinks bringing the two rival streamers together will allow more eyeballs to land on TV and film properties — and make it a far more enjoyable experience for subscribers, too.

There are also no plans to sell off either Paramount or WBD’s cable networks, according to Bloomberg’s report. Apparently, there’s even been a suggestion that CNN would possibly share resources with CBS News, which is now being helmed by Bari Weiss.

Yet, it’s said Ellison has made no decision about the real estate tied to both Paramount and WBD, including both of their storied studio lots.

Oh no. Angry youtubers and bloggers were wrong?

. I would think even if. There's 2-3 movies already in development. I didn't believe that info when posted.

And i support consolidating streamers.

To be fair:

They always say this and then eventually it’s not true

Of course. The point is no one knows anything, especially not youtubers or random accounts from Twitter

So WB and Paramount will have the same owner but bid against each other for talent or scripts or whatever? Not friggin likely. No one is buying this.

like, one guy said that

Some said they wanted it, but iirc, only one guy with sauces claimed they were firing him.

I could be remembering wrong, as I am not getting younger

To be fair, as I posted that, I was wondering if there was another thread I missed

Maybe trust Gunn himself
quote:

Gunn was asked whether the plot threads being established in projects like Peacemaker Season 2 and Lanterns would run until the release of Man of Tomorrow in 2027, Gunn replied:

"whether or not that'll be me that's able to fulfill that promise [laughs] depends on a lot of things in life, but yeah."

"reportedly"

Really? Common sense would suggest that a failing head of the DCU will be replaced or greatly curtailed. And if Gunn's ego can't be held in check (it can't, btw) then he'll be trebuche'd as soon as the deal is complete.

But hold onto your mediocre dreams.

I will, just to watch you continue to melt over an above average director

What melting? I have no skin in this game. I just see this as yet another big time IP that's being ruined for the hubris of one director who has an ax to grind against normal America.

Most directors didn't get fired for weirdo perv stuff in posts they made, but yeah. See, the thing is, Hollywood was always been weird and broken, but the unspoken rule was, they do their twisted weird stuff on their own time, and then not try to insert it into their movies and TV shows. But over time, they've gotten bolder and more insistent on projecting their fetishes and commie views into everything, and the public aren't buying it.
