Hollywood heavyweights voice ‘unequivocal opposition’ to Paramount-Warner merger in open letter
https://apnews.com/article/paramount-warner-open-letter-hollywood-30b8aa703141cec1fa7ea06a2c17dd50
More than a thousand movie stars, writers, directors and other Hollywood professionals announced their “unequivocal opposition” to the proposed Paramount merger with Warner Bros. Discovery in an open letter published Monday.
A large swath of the movie industry, including Denis Villeneuve, Kristen Stewart, J.J. Abrams and Joaquin Phoenix came out forcefully against the $111 billion deal that would consolidate two legacy studios into one, arguing that it further reduce jobs and movies in an already downsized Hollywood.
“The result will be fewer opportunities for creators, fewer jobs across the production ecosystem, higher costs, and less choice for audiences in the United States and around the world,” reads the letter, posted on BlocktheMerger.com. “Alarmingly, this merger would reduce the number of major U.S. film studios to just four.”

I will laugh until the end of time if the Gulf state funding falls through after all. I mean, huge belly laughs …

You know real people work at the companies, right?
