By Steven Zeitchik Steven Zeitchik Reporter covering the business of entertainment in the U.S. and beyond Email Bio Follow April 3 at 4:59 PM LAS VEGAS--Could Warner Bros. movies be the new HBO?
“We have done an amazing job establishing our brands as leaders in the hearts and minds of consumers,” WarnerMedia chief executive John Stankey said in the company’s executive shuffle last month, before hailing a “strategic position[ing of] our leading portfolio of brands, world-class talent and rich library of intellectual property for future growth.”
An adaptation of Jonathan Lethem’s beloved literary novel “Motherless Brooklyn,” which Edward Norton wrote, directed, produced and stars in. . “The Kitchen,” a 1970s adaptation of a dark graphic novel from Vertigo, in which stars such as Melissa McCarthy and Tiffany Haddish go to serious dramatic territory.
"There’s been a lot of chatter about what this film is, and most of it isn’t inaccurate,” he said. “But I guess that’s to be expected when you make an origin story about a character that has no definite origin.” He then called the movie’s genre “a tragedy.” Oh, and he showed footage. And sure enough, there was triple Oscar nominee Phoenix playing a bullied clown in a turn that soon went Shakespearean.
“The Goldfinch” feels exactly like the kind of material HBO usually does — original drama based on a sprawling Pulitzer-winning novel with deeply felt characters. Heck, even HBO passes on major American literary prizewinners sometimes.Partly these movies are a function of Emmerich’s background. The executive comes from New Line, the WB division known for smaller-budgeted and sometimes riskier projects. That DNA abides here, too.
