The Paramount Warner Brothers Merger is the best thing to happen to tv in years.
>>223571989The merger hasn't even happened yet, how are they pausing film production already?
>>223571989>>223572004>CBS gets bought out>Then WBKek. He drew bad luck.
>>223572189Knowing wb he probably got paid regardless of the movies happening like with jj abrams
>>223572215That's insane. Paying for art before it's made is dangerously risky and what a degenerate gambler would do. But I guess most execs are that now or thry're so scrupulous that some never get made.
>>223571989>CNN is kill
>>223572004>"shit is looking grim. should we pause or keep spending money on something that will most likely get shitcanned?"
>>223572004It's not paused because of the merger, but because the last Tolkien thing didn't do well. They're proceeding cautiously. If Skydance thinks they can profit, they'll greenlight it, regardless of Colbert's politics.
>>223572004To keep a company from spitefully burning itself to the ground to punish/scam the people buying it in a sale in the months before said sale is finalized, the law gives the buyer veto power over EVERYTHING the old owners are doing leading up to said sale.The Ellisons did something similar to South Park, spiking an entire season that revived around Canada invading the US and killing Trump and throwing out the ten year, multi billion dollar contract offered to Trey and Matt for a shorter single digit billion dollar contract which also involved revoking a lot of their creative freedoms.
nice
>>223574913>South Park, spiking an entire season that revived around Canada invading the US and killing TrumpTDS is real lmao
>>223571989They're really trying to make a story out of nothing.
