David Zaslav is the CEO of Warner Bros. and cancelled Coyote vs. Acme for a tax write off. I was so excited to see this film, but no, corpo pig David Zaslav has to go and ruin everything yet a again. All he ever does is cancel and remove shit to fatten his fucking wallet.
David Zaslav has killed Final Space, the Bat Girl movie, Scooby-Doo Holiday Haunt and has removed countless more. Why? Because he’s a greedy bastard that hates the audience and artists alike. He removes content purely because he doesn’t want to pay the artists as is.
This shit shouldn’t be fucking legal.

    Would be great if the tax write-off would require the work to enter the public domain immediately.

      Absolutely, but those works aren’t really finished products at the time of cancelation, are they? From what I’ve understood, there’s usually tons of editing and other stuff that remains, even though all filming might be completed.

        Almost all movies are made in the editing room. Always have been.

        Basically this:

        The experiment itself was created by assembling fragments of pre-existing film … with no new material. … Kuleshov demonstrated the necessity of considering montage as the basic tool of cinema. In Kuleshov’s view, the cinema consists of fragments and the assembly of those fragments, the assembly of elements which in reality are distinct. It is therefore not the content of the images in a film which is important, but their combination. The raw materials of such an art work need not be original, but are prefabricated elements which can be disassembled and reassembled by the artist into new juxtapositions.

        It’s a good point. There are fan edits of many films so it’s possible that the same could happen.

        How would David Zaslav know if it was finished or not, he publicly said he “didn’t watch it”.

      I wish, unfortunately it’ll sit in the IRS’s volt for all eternity. Unless a WB employee illegally leaks it.

    I’m more pissed about all the content that was already published on HBO Max that he blackholed after the merger. But the almost released stuff is idiotic too

    Artists will eventually(the sooner the better) refuse to work for/with him I’d imagine…

    it was already deleted? i read an article encouraging someone to leak it, since it was legally being declared having no value by its owners or something like that. i was actually hoping it would happen.
