Top Hollywood stars come out swinging against the Paramount-WBD deal in a new letter Open in Mrf.lu
Highlights
  • More than 1,400 actors, directors and filmmakers — including Hollywood stars — have signed an open letter opposing the proposed merger of Paramount and Warner Bros Discovery.
  • This transaction would further consolidate an already concentrated media landscape, reducing competition at a moment when our industries—and the audiences we serve—can least afford it.
  • The merger could mean 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.
