Fuck Yea! to see more voices in Hollywood against this merger is something that we need, hopefully there will be even more voices in the coming weeks!
I agree it’s terrible for both the industry and us as the audience, but where was all this support when Disney bought FOX a few years back?
> The group is hoping to sustain opposition the Paramount-Warner Bros. deal, which is still pending approval by regulators in the U.S. and Europe — and could be subject to litigation seeking to stop the merger by state attorneys general.
There’s still a chance, albeit a slim one because, duh, the Trump admin is going to approve this.
But Europe and California still have a fighting chance.
Just so you know, the fact that those shareholders voted in favor of the merger doesn’t mean it’s over yet. There are still hurdles that can have it blocked later on.
While it’s a good to see people fight back it’ll be disappointing to see all these stars doing Paramount/ Warner films if it goes through
You have to stick to your guns.
Consolidating two of the ‘Big Five’ studios into one giant entity seems like a fast track to less variety and fewer risks in filmmaking.
TLDR why they want to block this from Hollywood? Talking about Hollywood as a entity or as the group of folks who work in Hollywood movies, aka rich people?
Until these actors decide to stop taking projects from Paramount-Warner Bros, nothing will change.
Everyone who has overall deals with WB and Paramount should put their money where their mouth is and actively protest this merger. Names on a paper don’t make as much of an impact as creators speaking out against it.
Still missing the crying from the Disney/Fox merger , any links to that?
I look forward to five years from now and seeing how many of these people ended up working for Paramount again after the acquisition.
What frustrates me is that I’m sure none of the shareholders who are in this for the profits care about what these 4000 do. I’m happy to be proven otherwise.
Where were all these people when Disney bought Fox?
These companies don’t give a fuck about a petition.
They need to boycott working for Paramount and Paramount affiliated studios.
Found Paramounts new blacklist.
I would rather see Warner bought by Paramount than Netflix. I prefer to watch movies in a theater rather than stream them at home, so a movie studio seems like a better match for my interests than a company that makes streaming content. Netflix hates theaters.
The fact that these people oppose it means I should probably support it. These are rich actors who are completely divorced from the real world. We need to stop listening to retarded theater kids. If they knew anything useful, they wouldn’t be theater kids.
Lmao, you stupid fucks. First it’s Netflix you’re freaking out about, now you’re flipping out over the other option.
Next will be Saudi Arabia all out buying it and then what? Lol!
If those morons are against it, I’m for it.
lol they are spineless at the end of the day. This protest is pointless.
I hate this deal as well but I feel this same group would be speaking out against a Netflix WB deal too.
Do petitions work anymore?
Wouldn’t a boycott be more effective for all these actors rather than a petition?
Until they get a fat paycheck to be in one of their movies/shows.
Meh, this all seems super performative.
$20 says most if not all of them will star in/direct Paramount-Warner Bros movies.
how about put something on the line and declare they wont do any movie with them if they go through? that would kill the deal if all the biggest stars agree
