Overview
- Paramount Skydance remains a leading bidder alongside Netflix and Comcast in the ongoing Warner Bros. Discovery auction, and no ownership decision has been finalized.
- Puck reports Paramount Pictures co-chair Josh Greenstein traveled to Prague to meet director Zach Cregger and told him a DC project could be made possible.
- The reporting notes James Gunn and Peter Safran currently choose DC movie directors at Warner Bros., a role that could be curtailed if the Ellisons’ Paramount bid prevails.
- Dark Horizons cites the Los Angeles Times in saying Paramount Skydance recently raised its offer with support from Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds, including Saudi Arabia.
- Earlier Puck coverage describes Cregger’s Gotham-set spec reportedly titled Henchmen, though any DC project for him remains unconfirmed and contingent on the sale outcome.
