Javier Bardem reacts to the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger freeze, saying that consolidating Hollywood to "two or three big studios" could worsen job losses in Los Angeles and New York. "I may be wrong, I may be right, but the only thing I want to support is the jobs — and the quality of the jobs." Bardem, along with over 1,400 other Hollywood creatives, signed an open letter opposing the $110 billion merger of Paramount Skydance with Warner Bros. Discovery.

The Justice Department has approved the $111 billion mega-merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery. "This has been one of the most shallow and corrupt merger review processes we've ever seen, and it has been marked by Paramount … wooing and capitulating to the Trump administration at every turn," says Craig Aaron, co-CEO of the media advocacy group Free Press.

Puck’s Dylan Byers believes California AG Rob Bonta has a weak case for blocking the $111 billion Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger. Byers says the suit relies on an “archaic” definition of the media market focused on theatrical and cable distribution, rather than the digital platforms actually dominating attention: “David Ellison wants Warner Bros. Discovery to have some semblance of the scale that would be required to compete in a world that is dominated by Netflix, YouTube, TikTok, Apple, Amazon, the list goes on.” “The notion that somehow a combined Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery is going to be this massive, dominant business that is going to corner every aspect of the market...that’s just not real.” “I think Bonta has an uphill climb in that regard. But he can certainly create headaches, and certainly legal fees, for Ellison for many months.”

Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery reportedly signed an agreement Friday on a $110 billion deal, a merger that will make Paramount one of the largest media empires in the world. It happened after a dramatic turn of events and after Netflix walked away from its proposal to buy out Warner Bros. Paramount could now control two key movie studios, multiple streaming platforms, major intellectual property brands, along with television and cable channels, and two of the biggest news operations on television, CBS and CNN. But this isn't a done deal yet, as it is now under investigation and awaiting regulatory approval. Geoff Bennett sat down with Roben Farzad, host of public radio's "Full Disclosure," for more.
