The British government has indicated it may intervene in the proposed $110 billion merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery, a deal that would combine two major U.S. media companies.

Other media‑industry moves noted include Comcast’s plan to split into separate public companies for cable/internet and NBCUniversal, Amazon’s decision to drop the biopic “Artificial” about Sam Altman after its $50 billion partnership with OpenAI, and the sale of Luca Guadagnino’s OpenAI biopic to Neon.
