"At the same time, we will honor what makes Paramount and Warner Bros. special - giving both studios the opportunity to grow, tell more great stories, and bring those stories to even broader audiences around the world, powered by the scale and capabilities of Skydance," he said.
Ellison said the company chose the name Skydance for a few reasons. The company will serve as an umbrella entity over Paramount and Warner Bros., bringing the iconic studios together under one roof while also preserving their "distinct identities, extraordinary legacies, and brands that have resonated with audiences for generations."
"We never wanted a new corporate identity to diminish, alter or overshadow either one," Ellison said in the post. "Instead, we wanted a name that would give the combined company an identity of its own while allowing Paramount and Warner Bros. - and all our extraordinary brands - to remain in the spotlight."
The company's assets now include Paramo
