DC’s James Gunn and Peter Safran Survived the Skydance Bloodbath
Among the most upsetting is layoffs, and while the Paramount and Warner Bros. merger has reportedly begun to hit some pretty high-level film executives, two who are safe are James Gunn and Peter Safran. The news comes after reports that Gunn’s Warner Bros. film division counterparts, Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy, are expected to be replaced by the heads of Paramount’s film division, Josh Greenstein and Dana Goldberg, who’ll run the output for both studios. Focusing on Gunn and Safran, though, some speculated that after the disappointing reaction to Supergirl, the pair could be on the chopping block.
