A group of prominent British actors, including Benedict Cumberbatch, Alan Cu----g, and Benedict Wong, have penned an op-ed urging the UK government to oppose the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger. They express concerns that the consolidation of power could negatively impact independent film financing, news publishing, and the livelihoods of British film and television workers. The actors have formally requested that the UK Culture Minister investigate the potential consequences of the deal. While the European Commission has approved the merger with restrictions, it faces ongoing scrutiny in the United States. The UK minister has indicated a willingness to engage with the matter.
