The agreement terms come after weeks of discussion and a recent competing offer from Apollo Global Management and Sony Pictures.

    Skydance: Started and run by Larry Ellison’s son, David Ellison, and being that, it’s impossible for him to run out of money.

    I hope he’s a Trekkie.

      They produced Into Darkness and Beyond, so they at least have some history with the franchise.

        I wish that made me more confident that they can make decent Trek movies and TV, but it doesn’t

          If your concerns are on the creative side of things, I don’t think that’s really what they do - their expertise seems to be getting things made.

        Into Darkness

        oh no!

        Beyond

        oh yes!

        I’m not sure what to think there.

          I get the hate for those movies, but I honestly enjoyed them all.

          They are what got me to watch TOS, finally. Then I did a full watch through of the series. They were great for revitalizing the fan base and making new fans.

          I honestly love having the movies as a different universe/timeline. Saves us from tone whiplash, like Shakespeare TNG Picard vs Rambo Movie Picard.

          These mergers can take a long time to complete, so we’re probably safe for a while.

          I wouldn’t count on any serious going longer than five seasons under the old ownership, anyway…

    I don’t hate this. Seems like Skydance has less conflict of interest (i.e. alternative franchises) than the Warner Brothers merger talks from December. Remains to be seen if this is a good thing from a Trek point of view but… Could be worse.
