News Summary:

On July 10, 2026, the UK began considering intervening in the proposed Paramount-Skydance acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, citing concerns over media plurality and highlighting the potential impact of billionaires Larry and David Ellison's political ties. This development follows a Reuters report on July 8, which indicated that a group of US states, led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, might move to block Skydance's proposed $110 billion purchase of Paramount Warner Bros. Discovery. State regulators are investigating whether the deal could substantially reduce competition across the entertainment, film, and media industries. Earlier, on July 6, Nigerian-American author Tomi Adeyemi publicly disavowed the upcoming Paramount adaptation of her bestselling fantasy novel "Children of Blood and Bone," stating that the merger was to blame for her decision not to watch the finished film. Previously, on July 2, David Ellison and Mike De Luca were reportedly teaming up to revitalize the "Star Trek" franchise once the Paramount-WBD deal closes.
