I suspect Paramount will die under the Ellisons, so I'd prefer not to hand another studio to them even if the other two options aren't great either.
WSJ: “.. Warner executives including Zaslav have privately suggested that they prefer a deal with Netflix over Paramount, people familiar with the conversations said.”

This letter is a clear attempt to get Trump angry enough to intervene, and is thus a pretty clear signal to the entertainment community of what kind of company Paramount plans to run. I know people dread a Netflix acquisition of Warner Bros.; this would be worse. deadline.com/2025/12/para...

Paul Dano is completely on par with Daniel Day-Lewis here in terms of acting. There Will Be Blood is a fantastic film. Everyone was perfectly cast.

Only a vain and jealous jerk, or some catastrophically bad actor who is in a personal feud with Paul Dano, can say that this is a bad acting performance.

He's almost as old as Pacino and De Niro when they starred in the original movie, and almost 20 years older than Kilmer. So this better be somebody from the present day that we haven't met yet. Otherwise this will be another case where he poached a role that should've been played by a younger actor.
