Tony Gilroy blasted the “tragic” nature of the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger at the world premiere of his new film, “Behemoth!” Produced on a $36 million budget, “Behemoth!” is representative of the mid-budget, adult-oriented drama that once sustained Hollywood’s theatrical business — and allowed filmmakers like Gilroy to make a name for themselves in the industry. He fears the impending merger (which David Ellison just announced would place both of the historic movie studios under a company named Skydance) threatens to dismantle the very “healthy and beautiful business” he has worked in for over three decades.
