Tom Cruise calls Paramount’s 30-movie plan “awesome” amid WBD merger

Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise has thrown his support behind Paramount’s plan to deliver 30 movies a year, praising the studio’s vision amid its proposed USD 111 billion merger with Warner Bros Discovery.

As per a report, in a recent interview, the Mission: Impossible star endorsed Paramount CEO David Ellison’s promise to increase film production and releases.

“I think it’s awesome,” Cruise said when asked about the merger and Ellison’s 30-movies-a-year commitment.

“They’re going to deliver 30 movies,” Cruise said, adding, “It’s a community to me. It’s not an industry. The people in these studios are not just people in the studios. They're my family.”

Cruise’s comments come as Paramount’s proposed merger faces opposition from a coalition of state attorneys general.

There is also dispute over Paramount's USD 1.88 billion bond and a leaked threat that the company might leave LA and relocate to a red state if a settlement is not in process by October 1. Cruise added, “I know we’re going to get those 30 movies. I want us all to come together as a community to help make those 30 movies. It's not just going to be, you know, Paramount doing it. Everyone’s going to need all the help of every artist to be able to do it.”
