Paramount CEO David Ellison was meeting on Monday with members of the House Ways & Means Committee to promote a federal film tax incentive, sources said.
Ellison and Chief Legal Officer Makan Delrahim were among those meeting with the lawmakers. The idea of establishing a more robust federal incentive has drawn support from members on both sides of the aisle, amid concerns over the flight of productions overseas.
The Ellison meeting is taking place on the same day that California’s attorney general, Rob Bonta, led 11 other states in suing to block Paramount’s proposed merger with Warner Bros.
