Last weekend, an odd tidbit appeared in a Semafor article about President Donald Trump’s influence on American popular culture.
David Ellison, the son of one of Trump’s prominent supporters, recently became the chair and chief executive of the new merger-created film company Paramount Skydance, which has financial backing from his tech centibillionaire father, Larry. Semafor cited an unnamed source attuned to their private conversations that the president has “personally pressed” the elder Ellison to revive the old buddy-cop franchise “Rush Hour.”
