in response to notfabio's post The Zas is pretty blunt when he wants to be.
Variety: The Zas hath spoken " ‘We’re Not Going to Put a Movie Out Unless We Believe In It’

sounds like code for more delays (reshoots) for many future releases and some more movies canned

creatives aren’t (totally) stupid. they know what he’s saying and it’s not giving them confidence in WB as a home

Wow, that's worse than saying it's a tax write-off. That goes against the WB statement that it's not Leslie Grace's performance.

WB currently down nearly 12% in after hours trading. Market really likes the plan being laid out.

i don't think creators begrudge merging that stuff with HBO content, if it makes the platform stronger overall. it's the way it's being done

The people calling shots aren't the folks who wrote Groundhog Day, produced The Godfather -- they gave us downscale, backwater reality shows
