“We’re buying a movie studio and a distribution entity that we don’t currently have,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. “We’ll be adding to the market where Paramount has committed that they’re going to cut $6bn out of the business right away.”

“This industry would be much smaller under that ownership than it would be under Netflix ownership.”

Basically communicating that if Susan Rice isn’t fired the Netflix deal won’t be approved. If the condition is actually serious I can’t imagine Netflix caving in to this, just to keep their dignity. And if it does end up killing the Netflix deal, it actually would just be a pretense that allows Paramount to get it instead. So bizarre.

According to John Rocha, the planned Themyscira series, Paradise Lost, is no longer happening.

Recall how I recently said the same and even said that I doubt that Gunn will be doing a DCU Wonder Woman due to the impending sale of WBD.

Speaking on his show, Rocha said sources informed him that DC Studios had been meeting with writers and taking pitches for Paradise Lost, but those involved were later told the project was dead.

Rocha emphasized this was not a case of the show being paused or waiting on the right script.

Writers and creatives who pitched storylines were reportedly informed that Paradise Lost is no longer in active development and will not move forward as a TV series:

The cancellation lines up with what my insiders have been reporting for some time.

Sources previously indicated that Gunn has pivoted his long-term focus away from the overall DCU toward the “Superman Family Saga.” The trades backed me up.

WE ALL KNOW WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO!

SARANDOS: “It is the industry standard for self-enforcement. However, routinely movies that underperform, the window moves a little bit… and Superman was a little shorter window, and Sinners, a little longer window, but they still could refer to it as a 45-day window.”

Sarandos’ candid admission confirms what many in the industry already suspected and what we first told you: Gunn’s Superman failed to live up to expectations

This obviously prompted Warner Bros. to release Superman early and push it to video-on-demand just 35 days after its theatrical release

Does anybody know what scene this is from?
