What once was the peak, is now just the beginning. Paramount and Warner Bros. shaped over a century of culture. By combining them, we aren't rewriting history — we're equipping these iconic studios with a more powerful engine. Together, we are Skydance: a creative-first home for bold, quality storytelling. We chose this name for a few important reasons. First and foremost, as we bring Paramount and Warner Bros. together, we wanted to preserve what has made each of these studios iconic. Both have distinct identities, extraordinary legacies and brands that have resonated with audiences for generations. We never wanted a new corporate identity to diminish, alter or overshadow either one. Instead, we wanted a name that would give the combined company an identity of its own while allowing Paramount and Warner Bros. — and all our extraordinary brands — to remain in the spotlight. We have big goals for Skydance, and we intend to pursue them with passion, imagination and a willingness to take smart risks. At the same time, we will honor what makes Paramount and Warner Bros. special — giving both studios the opportunity to grow, tell more great stories and bring those stories to even broader audiences around the world, powered by the scale and capabilities of Skydance. I couldn’t be more excited about what we’re going to build together.

I’ll be interviewing David Ellison’s new streaming chief on Thursday. Please send questions!

デヴィッド・エアー監督の「ハート・オブ・ビースト」を観た。どちらもPTSDを患っている退役軍人と元軍用偵察犬の生存をかけた帰郷の物語。アラスカ原野の美しくも過酷で厳しい大自然が立ちはだかる。ほとんどセリフはないが、二人(ブラピと犬)の強い絆が伝わってくる。不覚にも泣いてしまった。最後に犬の名前、“オーディン”がボディブロウの様に効いてくる。パンフレットが、制作されてなかったのが残念🐕‍🦺
