Tom Cruise is throwing his weight behind David Ellison as the proposed merger between Paramount and Warner Bros moves forward. The actor expressed his full confidence in Ellison’s promise to deliver a massive slate of 30 films annually during a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Variety reported.
Cruise has a long history with Ellison, as their professional relationship spans major hits like the Mission: Impossible franchise and Top Gun: Maverick. He told The Pat McAfee Show, “I think it’s awesome,” before adding, “You know, here’s the thing. They’re going to deliver 30 movies. 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.
