After Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav set layoffs at the network.
reports. The stalwart supporters of cinema set an emergency meeting with Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav, the same guy who oversaw the baffling streaming service Max’s launch, to lobby for the future of the network — which programs all sorts of film classics, ranging from retrospectives of precode geniuses like Barbara Stanwyck to weekly slots for rich documentaries and silent cinema. “Turner Classic Movies has always been more than just a channel,” the trio wrote in a joint statement on June 22.
Their support for the channel is unsurprising — Scorsese has long stewarded projects to restore, safeguard, and exhibit cinema from all over the world, while Spielberg and Anderson sit on the board of Scorsese’s, a nonprofit working to preserve film. “We are heartened and encouraged by the conversations we’ve had thus far, and we are committed to working together to ensure the continuation of this cultural touchstone that we all treasure,” they wrote.
