Skydance’s David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz are pushing to finalize a “Barbie 2” deal by the end of the year, according to two sources:
• Previous negotiations, led by CAA’s Bryan Lourd, broke down after Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling sought roughly $25M each, plus larger shares of the sequel’s back-end profits
• Then-WBD CEO David Zaslav balked at the demands, shutting down talks as the studio faced a year-end deadline to renew its Barbie licensing rights
• Kreiz has close ties to the property, having previously served as Mattel’s CEO

@IBRZfilms@rossi453661@DannyTheLionGK@PhantasmMr44911 By far the funniest thing about this guy is him pretending that they will change the film for political reasons as if David Zaslav didn’t have the same politics as them
The more I criticize David Ellison and his moves at Skydance, the more fascinated I become by the contrast with his sister, Megan Ellison who is a prominent Hollywood producer, a four-time Oscar nominee, and the founder of Annapurna Pictures. Megan managed to build her own identity in the industry without relying on her father's or brother's corporate empire. She established her own production company and earned her reputation by financing and championing ambitious, auteur-driven films while collaborating with some of the industry's most respected filmmakers.
She made a name for herself entirely on her own terms, without having to inherit or take over the family business to establish her credibility, because David sure as hell didn't. Maybe David could learn a thing or two from his sister to be a respected producer, but I seriously doubt he genuinely cares.
@edgerton_harvey “People who wanted Batman to beat Scarecrow up because of what he did at the end of Batman Begins are gonna be so disappointed lol”
What?
@rossi453661@ssjivan07@dcuzatanna You think a guy that makes homophobic conspiracies about Kevin Conroy on the anniversary of his death has something valuable to add to the conversation
@rossi453661@ssjivan07@dcuzatanna I think you want to be right, you want something bad to happen, because you are excited by it clearly.
You spam “The Batman 2 is cooked” everywhere even when people are just excited about the film, because you need everyone to share your feelings for some reason.
@rossi453661@ssjivan07@dcuzatanna You are genuinely addicted to being pessimistic about this series, to the point where you are agreeing with an insane conspiracy theorist who admitted to trying to stalk Matt Reeves’ son
@Big_Mark_Photo@ZollyBBecker See, the thing about Zolly is that he’s obsessed with Matt Reeves’ son. To the point of admitting to trying to stalk him.
This is a very deranged man.
I was told like two years ago Reeves’s son had leukemia.
But I wasn’t told by a doctor, so “leukemia” could have been a catch all.
I wanted specifics…
I spent all summer trying to visit the kid, but I couldn’t find em.
No bullshit here.
