Longtime Ellison lieutenant Dana Goldberg will run Paramount Pictures with former Sony executive, Josh Greenstein. Only one senior Paramount executive -- George Cheeks -- will remain after this week's Skydance takeover.

David established Skydance Animation in 2017, which expanded to Madrid in 2020, and has since partnered with Apple TV+ and Netflix. In 2021, he launched Skydance Sports with the NFL, producing acclaimed content like Good Rivals and Air, followed by numerous sports documentaries and films.

Sources tell us that Skydance-Paramount is going to make official their corporate leadership team tomorrow morning. The combined company’s hierarchy is being announced early Monday ahead of the Aug. 7 merger date.
