    Scoopers been right about everything so far they saying zaslav loves snyders cast for dc n there is a lot of dope plans for the future but we'll see

    I do think the cast will come back in some capacity but Snyder dealt years and years with an unfinished film being in limbo and now sees Warner has no problem shelving finished projects, meanwhile he can be free to produce what he wants at Netflix. I really see no way he’d want to work with current Warner

    They don't want to keep paying residuals for things that nobody is watching

    I did some research and these movies aren't gone from the entire internet, you can still rent them on iTunes and everything... For now

    Just make good content and they don’t have to worry about that

    Anyways, this is a period of change from the old to the new regime. They’ll screen for Talent that they have faith in in the future I’m sure

    The Financial Times ran a story in May about the "new age of austerity" that is facing Hollywood.

    "Warner Bros Discovery, one of the largest entertainment studios and the owner of HBO and CNN, has offered more details about planned cost reductions since forming in a $43bn merger of WarnerMedia with Discovery in April. Chief executive David Zaslav promised investors he would find $3bn in cuts while also delivering $14bn in annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation. The company has $55bn in debt.

    Zaslav’s first company town hall on April 14 pointed to the task ahead. He invited Oprah Winfrey to interview him and declared the merger to be “our rendezvous with destiny”.

    Later on during that “bright and shiny day” — as Zaslav had described it — he and his deputies decided to axe CNN Plus, an ambitious news streaming project that had launched only a month earlier.

    Now Zaslav and his team, led by chief financial officer Gunnar Wiedenfels, are in the midst of another unpopular task: auditing Warner-Discovery’s expenses to find where to trim.

    Wiedenfels, a former McKinsey consultant from Germany, built a reputation after joining Discovery in 2017 for his ability to squeeze expenses and generate profit. Under Wiedenfels, some producers of Discovery shows were forced to take out loans to fund production.

    While looking under the hood of Warner in recent weeks, Wiedenfels has been frustrated by decisions that his predecessors had made, telling colleagues that the previous management of WarnerMedia and its former owner AT&T had not bothered to calculate the return on their various investments, according to people familiar with the matter.

    A culture of “spending and asking for permission later” does not sit well with Wiedenfels, these people said.

    This issue was at the core of the CNN Plus debacle, where outgoing chief executive Jason Kilar had instructed CNN executives to push forward with a $350mn investment to build the streaming service without asking whether the new owners were in favour of the project, said people familiar with the matter.

    Wiedenfels wants to squeeze as much money as possible out of the company’s intellectual property, a strategy that he pursued at Discovery, where the company has sliced and diced the airing rights for premiere content across traditional television and streaming platforms, while also licensing it to other companies.

    For now, Wiedenfels has kept content — the lifeblood of the business — safe from the cuts. Warner Bros Discovery is spending $22bn on television and film this year. But Zaslav’s team is closely watching the economic environment and if faced with a bad recession — as some economists are warning — Wiedenfels could change course, people familiar with the matter said."
