Three titans of U.S. cinema sprung into action last week when Turner Classic Movies, the classic film cable channel owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, was threatened by layoffs.
The channel was “a precious resource of cinema,” directors Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, and Paul Thomas Anderson said at the time. The three revealed that Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav had proactively reached out to them to reassure them that Turner Classic Movies would be “untouched and protected.”
