From KCRW, I'm Kim Masters, and this is the business.

Actress and now director, Maggie Jillenhall, wanted to set her new drama The Lost

So the plan was to shoot in New Jersey until Jillenhall decided it just didn't feel right.

And it was so interesting because, like, as an actress, of course, a big idea like that, something that crumbles everything, it's really rarely welcomed.

Jillen Hall tells us about finding her power behind the camera, which is how she wound up shooting the lost daughter in Greece.

And she explains how she found the courage to write to the intimidating anonymous Italian author

with David Zasloff, who's going to be in the driver's seat, should this go through, as they certainly seem to believe it will.

Then the other is MGM. Amazon is acquiring MGM. There's been a bit of noise raised on Capitol Hill about both of these. I think Amazon largely because it's a tech company and people like beating up on

tech companies right now and many of them definitely deserve to be beaten up on, maybe not for

this particular reason. And of course, I think the Warner Media one is going to be very, very impactful.

So just give me your quick take, Lucas, on that. I don't understand that antitrust case against
