BREAKING: Jane Fonda has released a provocative parody of Nicole Kidman’s beloved AMC Theatres commercial, targeting the recent $82.7 billion Warner Bros. merger. The two-time Oscar winner shared her spoof video on social media earlier today, injecting sharp commentary on corporate greed into Kidman’s iconic celebration of the moviegoing experience.
Fonda’s twist on the ad comes as concerns mount over the consolidation of media power. In the video, she mimics Kidman’s signature monologue, declaring, “Somehow corporate greed feels good in a place like this. Somehow mergers feel good in a place like this.” The parody showcases her critique of the entertainment industry, highlighting issues of censorship and corporate control over content.
The video escalates with Fonda humorously announcing, “Come to this place for mergers. We stream to self-silence. To censor. To slop,” while entering a movie theater. The satire culminates with a man telling her, “You gotta go. We’re about to knock this whole place down in five minutes!”—a clear allusion to the potentially disruptive impact of corporate mergers on the industry.
Fonda, known for her activism, recently voiced her concerns about the Warner Bros. deal in collaboration with the Committee for the First Amendment. She described the merger as “an alarming escalation of the consolidation that threatens the entire entertainment industry, the democratic public it serves, and the First Amendment.”
In a statement directed at the Department of Justice, Fonda emphasized, “Make no mistake, this is not just a catastrophic business deal that could destroy our creative industry. It is a constitutional crisis exacerbated by the administration’s demonstrated disregard for the law.”
The urgency of Fonda’s message resonates as viewers grapple with the implications of such large-scale mergers on media diversity and freedom of speech. As the entertainment landscape shifts dramatically, her parody serves as both a critique and a call to action.
