I don't expect we'll see another great film out of Warner Bros or its subsidiaries for a long, long time. This decision alone shows how out of touch these new suites are, some how even further out than Zaslav.

Maybe they'll do a white dragon reboot or something, he got a pretty bad rap in peacemaker.

    I mean Robert Patrick is a great actor and it was interesting to see that character develop in Peacemaker season 2, so I wouldn't be completely against it...

    But more seriously Zaslav had a singular goal, be acquired. He won.

    But Skydance, more specifically David Ellison? We know propaganda for sure. Look at CBS. But it's propaganda in order to make money.

    Look at the films Skydance, before mega merging with Paramount and Warner Bros, made. Mostly "fine" films. A few great films, lots of entertaining films, a handful of whatever films.

    Money is the big motivator here. I think you're right that it will possibly produce a lot of crap. But you need something good, sometimes, to make money. Crap can also make money, but you can't just make crap. (I hope.)
