Sources tell Variety that it has gone as far as Paramount creating a sort of blacklist of talent the studio will not work with because they are deemed to be “overtly antisemitic,” as well as “xenophobic” and “homophobic.” Whether the boycott signatories are on that list is unclear — but who are we kidding here?
Furthermore, Variety claims that Ellison’s goal is to turn Paramount into a MAGA-friendly environment, with content in the TV and movie divisions expected to be more “America-centric” and geared toward “the middle of the country.”
An odd coincidence? Peter Berg was recently tapped to direct one of Paramount’s most prized IPs — their “Call of Duty” movie, penned by Americana poet-laureate Taylor Sheridan.
Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next. “We’re going after Warners,” Ellison told confidants even before the Paramount deal was approved. “I want to be in the top three, not the bottom three.”
i was rewatching Barry episodes, thinking about how positive & happy actors appear for entertainment "news" interviews and the general cliche of people praising everyone they've worked with... and I can't imagine the sheer weight that the faux-accepting and inhumane/ruthless Hollywood studio system hangs on so many people whose names and faces we will never know so that like 50-100 absolute demon tier psychos can live and play games with the lives, hearts, minds and bodies of beautiful people in the garden of earthly delights.
