Hundreds of Hollywood actors, including Jane Fonda, Joaquin Phoenix, and Bryan Cranston, signed an open letter on Monday to oppose a proposed merger between Paramount and Warner Bros.
The letter, published Monday, targets a deal that would see the historic Warner Bros. studio absorbed by its rival, Paramount.
Industry backlash
The group of heavyweights is mobilizing against the consolidation of two major studio legacies. The move aims to block the acquisition of Warner Bros. by Paramount.
While the specific legal or economic arguments within the full letter were not detailed in the initial announcement, the scale of the signatures indicates a unified front from the industry's most recognizable figures.
