The Trump administration approved the Skydance/Paramount merger for David Ellison and gifted TikTok to David's dad Larry Ellison so now he gets to call some shots.

Trump appears to want to revive the raucous comedies and action movies of the late 1980s to late 1990s. He’s passionate, for instance, about the 1988 Jean Claude Van Damme sports flick Bloodsport. A person directly familiar with the conversations told Semafor that the president of the United States has personally pressed the Paramount owner to revive another franchise from Ratner: Rush Hour, a buddy-cop comedy starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker that blended physical comedy, martial arts, and gags about racial stereotypes.
These anonymously sourced stories can often be wrong though.

Something had to be done about TikTok because you used to be able to criticize Israel on TikTok.

Personally I'd prefer he work on getting Shanghai Dawn made to complete the Shanghai Noon trilogy but that isn't a Paramount property.
