Paramount-Skydance Merger Is Complete! CEO Ellison Outlines Future Roadmap
Paramount Global and Skydance Media have finally completed their $8 billion merger, putting an end to decades of legacy at the media giant. The PARA ticker was delisted from Nasdaq yesterday. The combined entity is now called Paramount, a Skydance Corporation, and has started trading under the new ticker symbol 'PSKY' on the Nasdaq. The merged company will transition from a traditional media giant into a 'tech-forward company.' Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Skydance's founder and CEO, David Ellison, has taken over as CEO of the new company. He faces a challenging path ahead to streamline operations and restore Paramount's former glory. On the occasion of the merger, Ellison shared his plans for the new company in an open letter to shareholders. He wrote, 'Today marks Day One of a new Paramount,' and, together with our leadership team, our board, and colleagues worldwide, 'we embark on the exciting next chapter of this legendary company.' Ellison Shares Paramount's Roadmap Ahead Ellison stated that, going forward, Paramount, a Skydance Corporation, will be split into three separate units: studios, direct-to-consumer (DTC), and TV media. He noted that this restructuring will help boost the company's efficiency and enable it to achieve its planned $2 billion in savings. This will also help the company reduce technology spending, which combined with other measures, will lead to cost efficiencies in labor, real estate, procurement, and workflow. Moreover, Ellison stated that, beginning next year, Paramount Plus and Pluto TV will move to 'a unified technology stack' to improve performance and cut operational costs. This integration, he said, will enhance the company's services and user experience by improving recommendations and speeding up delivery. It will also help Pluto TV attract new customers to Paramount Plus. The new company will deliver more movies, TV series, sports, news, and games to global audiences. Ellison plans to integrate advanced technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to boost innovation, localize shows to new language markets overnight, and build a proprietary ad-tech system to maximize yield across streaming and linear platforms. To conclude, Ellison hopes to restore Paramount's legacy and position it as a leader in the future of entertainment by leveraging the company's strengths and embracing change.

Disney's settlement with ‘Mandalorian' actor Gina Carano isn't capitulation. Firing her was
Actress Gina Carano, Lucasfilm and its parent company Walt Disney Co. have settled the federal lawsuit filed in which Carano claimed that, in 2021, she was wrongfully terminated from her role in 'The Mandalorian' after she expressed her conservative political views on social media. The settlement details have not been made public, but Lucasfilm released a statement praising Carano's on-set professionalism and expressing the hope of 'identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future.' I am here to beg everyone to remain calm and avoid using the four Cs: cancel culture (is this the end of it?) and corporate capitulation (is this another example of it?) No and no. Cancel culture has long been an amorphous and often recklessly applied term, used to describe a litany of events, including but certainly not limited to male predators losing their jobs, students protesting their school's choice of graduation speakers and outrage over J.K. Rowling's stance on transgender women. Recently, however, it has taken a far more concrete shape that looks astonishingly like the White House where President Trump continues to literally cancel all manner of things, including U.S. membership in the World Health Organization, the regulatory power of the Environmental Protection Agency and huge portions of Medicaid. Recently, he fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics after the bureau documented weaker than expected numbers for July and downward revisions for the previous two months. Corporate capitulation, too, is alive and well, with law firms, universities and media companies falling like dominoes before Trump's lawsuits and threats of defunding. Last year, Trump sued ABC and its parent company Disney for defamation after anchor George Stephanopoulos wrongly stated on air that Trump had been found civilly liable for raping E. Jean Carroll — Trump had been found civilly liable of sexually assaulting and defaming Carroll. Disney settled for $15 million, paid to Trump's presidential foundation and museum. Even more troubling was Paramount Global's decision to pay a $16-million settlement in what many consider a frivolous lawsuit brought by Trump against '60 Minutes.' After late-night host Stephen Colbert called the move a 'big fat bribe' designed to ensure Paramount's recent acquisition by Skydance, CBS, which is owned by Paramount, announced that 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' was being canceled due to financial considerations. So while it is tempting to see Disney settling with Carano as a piece of a larger and very worrisome whole, particularly when Elon Musk financed her lawsuit, it was in fact simply the right thing to do. Carano is a former mixed martial artist turned actor who has been vocal about her support for conservative causes and President Trump. In 2020, she had caught some flack for posting 'beep/bop/boop' as her pronouns in her Twitter bio, which some took as her way of mocking trans people. She denied this, changed her bio and expressed support for the trans community. There were also posts that criticized masking policies and shutdowns during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as one calling for an investigation into voter fraud after the 2020 election. But it was a repost on Instagram that cost her her job — in February 2021, she reposted a famously horrific image of a half-naked Jewish woman fleeing from a mob with a moronically simplistic message about divisive politics: 'Most people today don't realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?' Landing just a month after then-President Trump sent an armed mob to attack the Capitol in the hopes of overturning an election he refused to believe he had lost, the post, which appeared to compare MAGA supporters in 2021 America with Jews in Nazi Germany, sparked #FireGinaCarano. And that's exactly what Disney did. Calling her posts 'abhorrent and unacceptable,' Lucasfilm excised her character from 'The Mandalorian' and canceled an upcoming spinoff in which she was to star. Her talent agency, UTA, dropped her and Hasbro canceled a line of toys based on her 'Mandalorian' character. It was an overreaction that smacked of fear and pandering. I do not agree with the sentiments Carano expressed in her posts, but compared with the blithely toxic abuse regularly used on social media, they are relatively benign, based far more on genuine ignorance — most people are in fact aware of the vicious antisemitism leveraged by the Nazis as well as their institutionalized tactics of fear — than anything else. Of course, those who attempt to be politically provocative on social media (and reposting a photo of a victimized Jewish woman in such context is the definition of political provocation) cannot then feign shock and dismay when people are provoked, especially at a time when far-right tweets, including the president's, had led to a violent attack against lawmakers. (Hence the irony of Musk's support — the platform he renamed X was in large part built on its ability to harness all manner of just and unjust hashtag campaigns.) But as my colleague Robin Abcarian noted when Carano filed her lawsuit in 2023, the social media mob's decision that a woman, who was far from a household name, deserved to lose her livelihood, and more important, Lucasfilm's agreement with that decision, was extreme. Bad publicity is never good for an entertainment property and whether it was explicit in her contract or not, Carano did represent, to a certain extent, 'The Mandalorian,' Lucasfilm and Disney. Unfortunately, the entertainment industry's increasing reliance on social media has created a world in which actors and other creative types are expected to amass millions of followers on platforms that tend to reward the outspoken and outrageous over the thoughtful. Encouraged to reveal themselves 'authentically,' stars can find themselves prodded by fans to comment on current events and excoriated when they refuse or respond in a way that certain followers consider insincere or politically incorrect. Telling people to stay off social media is not the answer; neither is regulation by hashtag campaign. While Carano's case is certainly reflective of many perils that face us at the moment, the fact that she reached a settlement, including an apparent promise of more work, is not a sign of further deterioration. The fear that our cultural landscape is being attacked by political forces that would strangle the notion of free speech and competing ideologies is real and justified. But in this case, the capitulation came not when Disney and Lucasfilm decided to settle with Carano, but when they fired her in the first place.

'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine''s Nog gets first-ever standalone action figure (exclusive)
The first Ferengi to join Starfleet is ready to join your toy collection. Raise your favorite glass, be it bloodwine, kanar, Romulan ale, or prune juice, and sing songs of praise for Nog — the first Ferengi to join Starfleet, who fought so bravely at the Siege of AR-558 (at great personal cost). If none of that means anything to you, we're envious, as it implies you have yet to watch Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, one of the finest television programs in the galaxy. Entertainment Weekly is proud to exclusively debut the "paint master" of the first-ever standalone Nog action figure, created by The Nacelle Company, in advance of its official debut. Nog, you see, was a recurring character played by the late Aron Eisenberg, who began the seven-season run mostly as comic relief (caught up in wacky schemes like trading Cardassian yamok sauce for self-sealing stem bolts), but over time grew in importance, with his storyline becoming richer as he faced social and physical adversity. The Nog-centric episode It's Only a Paper Moon, a frank look at post-traumatic stress disorder (for which they do not yet have a quick cure even in the 24th century), is considered by most fans to be one of the all-time greats. Though in the 1990s Trekkies could get some Nog merch if they tried hard enough, the brave young Ferengi never got his full due. (For example, a small Nog figurine came as an add-on in the packaging with the one for his father Rom, played by Max Grodénchik.) But as with the reversal of Worf's discommendation by Klingon High Council, there is injustice no longer! Unveiling on Friday at Creation Entertainment's annual STLV: Trek to Vegas, where the off-Strip Rio Hotel transforms into Nimbus III and becomes a conclave of Trek enthusiasts from all quadrants, the licensed collectables group The Nacelle Company has sculpted the first standalone Nog action figure in this timeline. Eisenberg, who died in 2019 at the age of 50, said one of his biggest wishes was for a figure like this to be made from his character, according to his widow Malíssa Longo. "He'd always been the choking hazard, the accessory to Rom," she said through chuckles in a Nacelle video. "He should be in everyone's home." Nacelle's rendering of Nog includes the subheading "Favor the Bold," referencing an action-packed episode from the sixth season of Deep Space Nine. Good to see him in uniform, and not dressed like a busboy working for his Uncle Quark. Nacelle boldy goes deep with their highly curated line. Current models for sale include Peter Preston ("He stayed at his post... when the trainees ran!"), Mirror Universe Jonathan Archer, and, most hardcore of all, Tuvix. Ken Reilly, managing editor of the premier Star Trek fan site explained to Entertainment Weekly that "Nacelle's approach of highlighting lesser-known characters from across the Trek franchise has already differentiated them from past attempts at reviving the Trek action figure category." Reilly added that Nog had been largely overlooked by previous licensees, which was a shame because "the character grew from an unruly troublemaker to an inspirational Starfleet officer, representing all that Star Trek's future represents: wanting to better yourself and the world around you." Preorders will soon become available at Nacelle's website. The company welcomes pitches from fans on which characters should be part of the next wave of figures at startrekideas@ Company Founder and CEO Brian Volk-Weiss personally answers every email, so it's time to hit him with requests for Joanne Linville's Romulan Commander from The Enterprise Incident, but also maybe Armus, the Crystalline Entity, and Thomas Riker's fake beard. On "Star Trek Day" in 2020, several cast members memorialized both Eisenberg and René Auberjonois in a Zoom conversation.
