Joaquin Phoenix, Ben Stiller, Kristen Stewart, Denis Villeneuve, David Fincher and more than 1,000-plus Hollywood names have signed an open letter opposing the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger.
"This transaction would further consolidate an already concentrated media landscape, reducing competition at a moment when our industries—and the audiences we serve—can least afford it. The result will be fewer opportunities for creators, fewer jobs across the production ecosystem, higher costs, and less choice for audiences in the United States and around the world. Alarmingly, this merger would reduce the number of major U.S. film studios to just four.
Media consolidation has accelerated the disappearance of the mid-budget film, the erosion of independent distribution, the collapse of the international sales market, the elimination of meaningful profit participation, and the weakening of screen credit integrity. Together, these factors threaten the sustainability of the entire creative community. That includes endangering the professional lives of the tens of thousands of workers who help make up that community in predominantly small businesses and independent companies embedded in local economies and communities nationwide."

"Selling out to the UK’s creative industries to benefit US tech companies would’ve been an act of national self-sabotage."

Susan Sarandon says she was banned from Hollywood for "speaking out about Gaza, for asking for a ceasefire."
“I was fired by my agency... It became impossible for me to even be on television. I don’t know lately if it’s changed. I couldn’t do any major film or anything connected with Hollywood. I found agents ultimately in England and in Italy, and I work there. I just did a film in Italy, and I did a play at the Old Vic for a number of months. I know this Italian director that just hired me — he was told not to hire me, so that’s still recently. He didn’t listen, but they had that conversation. Right now, I kind of specialize in tiny films with directors who have never directed, in independent films.”

Free things to do in London this weekend!
One slightly cheeky midweek one in there but everything is free and well worth a look.
From local talks to markets and festivals, there’s plenty going on across the city ✨

Tom Kerridge, "Immigration is constantly used by political parties for masking years and years of underfunding in infrastructure, health, housing, employment, education" #BBCQT
"It is not the fault of immigration, it's the fault of poor spending, poor money management"
"Immigration is constantly used as this sort of battering tool, while we are a culturally rich and diverse country"
"And it is one we should be very proud of"
"Tolerance is something we should definitely bring back"
