The three filmmakers issued a joint statement about the classic film network, 'a precious resource of cinema,' which the Warner Bros. Discovery CEO is in the midst of restructuring.
“We have each spent time talking to David, separately and together, and it’s clear that TCM and classic cinema are very important to him,” the directors’ statement reads. “Our primary aim is to ensure that TCM’s programming is untouched and protected. 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.
The TCM shake-up comes as WBD is undergoing a round of cuts to its domestic networks team, but the media conglomerate’s classic film brand is one with a deep connection to Hollywood’s creative community and news of changes there had begun stirring a strong response both publicly and privately. After news of Chagnon and her team”s departure broke this week, Ryan Reynolds tweeted, “Turner Classic Movies has been a fixture in my life for as long as I can remember.
