After all, the deal — for a long-forsaken project, an action-comedy franchise starring two aging stars — underscores the servile fealty of new Paramount owners Larry and David Ellison amid their recent maneuvering to take control of TikTok and Warner Bros. Discovery (the latter seemingly futile). It also showcases Trump’s fondness for rehabilitating the careers of alleged sexual predators, in this case Rush Hour series director Brett Ratner, who’s recently been at work on his comeback project: an upcoming First Lady doc, Melania, which Trump antagonist-turned-ally Jeff Bezos bought for $40 million for Amazon Prime shortly after the president was reelected last year.
Still, maybe Hollywood should embrace acceptance. Or, better yet, pivot all the way to gushingly ushering Trump in.
