- David Ellison , 41, would not be the first rich guy to arrive in Hollywood with a fat bank account and dreams of making movies, though the son of billionaire Oracle founder Larry Ellison boasts the rarest of attributes for a budding media mogul: a Silicon Valley pedigree.
"One of the things that people are under-estimating ... is his sense of tech, compared to some of the other guys, ... maybe with his father's help or just his upbringing," said Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel. "What they do with Paramount+ and all that other stuff I think will be refreshing." Ellison enrolled in Pepperdine University to study business, but transferred to the University of California's film school. A GQ magazine profile of Ellison in 2015 noted that sister Megan served as a boom operator on her brother's senior-thesis movie. In 2011, she founded her own studio, Annapurna Pictures, which backed such Oscar-nominated films as "Zero Dark Thirty" and "American Hustle.
If Ellison lands the deal, he will be "an owner-operator that actually loves film and television and stories, and that is needed now more than ever," Lourd said. CBS announced that 'NCIS' got renewed for season 22 and will air during the 2024-2025 TV broadcast season on the network.Olivia Rodrigo's itsy-bitsy string bikini is huuuuge summer inspo
