Paramount is currently engaged in exclusive deal talks with Skydance Media, an independent studio led by David Ellison, though some investors have urged Paramount to explore other options. Private equity firm Apollo had earlier made a $26 billion bid for the company, and a separate $11 billion offer for Paramount's film studio. Its joint bid with Sony, which is still being structured, would offer cash for all outstanding Paramount Global shares and take the company private, a source told Reuters on Thursday.
