James Cameron and Ari Emanuel Offer Support of Skydance’s Bid for Paramount

James Cameron and Ari Emanuel have expressed support for Skydance's bid to acquire Paramount, despite Paramount’s special board committee leaning against the offer. Skydance, alongside partners RedBird Capital and KKIR, aims to buy Shari Redstone's controlling stake and merge with Paramount, maintaining its public trading status under new leadership. The deal's negotiation window has closed, but discussions are ongoing while Paramount also considers a separate $26 billion offer from Apollo and Sony Pictures.
