Shari Redstone & Co. is back at the negotiation table again with David Ellison's Skydance Media ("Skydance") in determining the future of Paramount Global (NASDAQ:PARA), (NASDAQ:PARAA). Skydance, the private production studio owned by Ellison, has been courting Paramount for more than six months for a potential merger of the two companies. Both have worked together in the past on iconic titles, including "Top Gun: Maverick". Both companies have currently entered into a tentative deal, whereby Skydance will merge with Paramount through the buyout of its parent holding company, National Amusement ("NAI"), which is currently controlled by Redstone.
