Mornin! This is Sean McNulty and here’s the Hollywood + Media news to know on TUESDAY June 28, 2022.

Where yes it’s now almost the end of June and the long expected official announcement for the CAA / ICM deal… still isn’t here - what gives? 😬

While the news could still be as imminent as my “What Sean is making for Dinner” report (inquire within for details), ICYMI Peter Kiefer has more in The Transom here including everyone’s favorite dish - a leaked email from CAA about a senior staff meeting yesterday addressing the delay. In their defense - DocuSign really isn’t as user friendly as it says it is.

AND: Paul Haggis’s NYC rape trial got an Oct 11 start date. No word on how his looming charges in ITALY may affect these stateside proceedings.

PLUS: If you missed the Kareem Daniel read that dropped yesterday - it’s a real good one, both for the (comparatively) definitive clarity on how his division ya know, actually works there… but also for what’s not in the piece 👇.
