Warner Bros. Discovery’s film studio management structure is taking shape, sources with knowledge of the matter tell The Hollywood Reporter, as the executive team of Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy have reached a deal to run Warners and New Line as soon as Amazon releases them from their contracts at MGM — as soon as next month.

Toby Emmerich, who has been running Warners and New Line since 2017, will exit that role but is expected to get a production deal.

...

Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav’s strategy as he shapes the company is to create three verticals, each with its own leadership: Warner Bros.-New Line (under De Luca and Abdy), DC and Animation. DC Films president Walter Hamada will report to De Luca and Abdy until new leadership is identified, and the head of the animation vertical is yet to be named

Zaslav’s intention is to model Warners after the system that former Disney CEO Bob Iger implemented at that studio, with the verticals reporting directly to him. Zaslav has talked to former Disney studio chairman Alan Horn about serving as an advisor. (In designing the verticals approach for overseeing Warner Bros. Discovery’s film executive structure, Zaslav consulted not only with Horn but with Iger.)

Sorting out DC remains a major challenge for Zaslav. Sources say he has asked Todd Phillips, the multihyphenate who created dark 2019 billion-dollar grosser Joker, to do more in the DC universe, potentially acting as an advisor though he will not serve in an executive capacity. A knowledgeable source says Phillips and Zaslav have discovered a rapport, though Phillips is not an expert on the broader DC universe. While at Disney-owned Marvel, chief creative officer Kevin Feige oversees film, television animation and publishing, there has been no single voice guiding DC. (DC chief Hamada oversees the film universe based on the company’s characters, including its HBO Max spinoffs.) DC’s properties are only loosely connected — and sometimes take place in entirely separate universes, such as the Oscar-winning Joker and Matt Reeves’ The Batman, released in March.

-- Kim Masters THR

Veteran film executive Toby Emmerich is exiting his post as Warner Bros. Picture Group chairman, three sources told Variety.

A company man who survived numerous WB ownership changes for over two decades, Emmerich’s transition out of the role follows weeks of chatter that he was leaving the studio. He will be replaced by Michael De Luca, and Pamela Abdy, who will be named co-chairs of Warner Bros. Picture Group. A spokesperson for Warner Bros. Discovery did not immediately respond to a request for comment, though a formal announcement of the leadership change is expected imminently.

De Luca and Abdy’s oversight will also include New Line Cinema. Their influence over DC Films is presently unclear. The pair recently led Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer until that company was sold to Amazon. At MGM, the duo landed buzzy projects such as “Licorice Pizza,” “Cyrano”  and “House of Gucci,” though critics noted that some of these movies failed to perform at the box office.

Under newly minted CEO David Zaslav, the company was rechristened Warner Bros. Discovery with an eye towards bolstering its in-house streaming service HBO Max and complementing that content with Discovery’s reality programming. Emmerich’s departure raises questions about the future of several key lieutenants at the studio, many who have served at his side for decades. Among those whose future is murky is DC Films chief Walter Hamada, who had been credited with stabilizing the cinematic output at the division and bringing some quality control to a company that had suffered several critical failures such as “Suicide Squad” and “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.”

De Luca and Abdy presumably have their own roster of executives that they will want to bring over. With De Luca, Zaslav is getting a seasoned executive and producer with deep ties to the creative community. Over the course of his career, De Luca has championed and worked alongside the likes of Paul Thomas Anderson, David Fincher, and Paul Greengrass. He was also Oscar-nominated for producing the likes of ‘The Social Network,” “Moneyball,” and “Captain Philips.”

The Actor & I: PART ONE – First Day

This is part one of a very long, SLOW BURN series on Austin Butler and a Production Assistant on set of Elvis (2022). It’s my first time writing fic, so apologies if it’s not the best!  In first person perspective! Character’s name is Anastasia (goes by Ana) and is starting a new job at Warner Brothers the same time Austin Butler is cast in Elvis! 

Anything italicized is main character’s thoughts! 

Warnings: Fluff, eventual Spoilers for Elvis (2022), mild language (If i missed anything, please comment so i can add!)

Please, if you like this, share it, comment, like it and enjoy! xx

It’s the first day of my new job and I woke up late. Great…just great. Thankfully, I laid out my outfit late before going to sleep after going through hundreds of options. I have never showered, blow dried my hair, applied mascara, lotion, perfume, and blush and gotten dressed so quickly. I definitely put too much lotion on as I almost slip out of my shoes. Breathe Ana, breathe.

After I pour two travel iced coffees, I pack up my laptop and charger and look over my outfit in the mirror one last time. My fitted black skirt with my white button-down tucked in looks great along with some black heels and the various gold jewelry I always accessorize with. I’m pretty short right at five foot, but the outfit with my shoes has elongated my body the best I could hope for. Mentally going through my checklist, I definitely have everything I need for my first day. I grab my phone, purse and keys and head out the door.

As I’m driving and listening to a daily news podcast, I spot a flower vendor on the Burham exit outside of Burbank and stop to grab some flowers quickly. These would be a nice touch to the dull meeting room I know we’ll be in for most of the day.

As I pull into the gates of Warner Brothers, I immediately start to panic I may have pulled in the wrong entrance. I have my ID badge out ready to go…Anastasia van der Woodsen, Production Assistant, Warner Brothers Studios.  As the car ahead of me is driving through the gate, I stop at the security guard and shakingly hold up my badge to scan to open the gate. The security guard chuckles and asks, “First day?” I bashfully respond with a quiet, “Yes, sir.” He smiles and responds, “Don’t worry, it’s more intimidating to look at the studio lot than it is to be working in it. You’ll be fine.”  I breathe an immediate sigh of relief. Someone nice is what I needed. “Thank you….I needed that.” He tips his hat and signals me to drive forward. Now to just find the correct office on the lot…

I pull into the office outside of Stage 19 on the Warner Brothers lot, I immediately finish the second of the iced coffees I brought, grab my bags and exit my blue Ford Bronco. I double check the parking placard is hanging from my window before heading into the office. Once I walk in the office, I greet the receptionist and let her know I’m there for a 9 AM meeting for the new Baz Luhrmann project. She lets me know I’m the first to arrive and I can wait in the meeting room.

When I walk into the meeting room, I take the opportunity to freshen up the room a bit. I put the flowers in a vase from my car on the table. I know three executives from Warner Brothers are attending with Baz, so I set up four seats for them on one side of the table with water glasses, notepads and pens. As I’m setting up the other side of the table for the actor and his team, my new boss, Alison, appears with the head of Warner Brothers Studio, Toby Emmerich. I knew the meeting was important, but the president of the studio attending had me regretting my second iced coffee before 9 AM as my jitters went into overdrive.

“Anastasia, the room looks great. This is Toby Emmerich, the..” Alison starts and I immediately shake Toby’s outreached hand. “Mr. Emmerich, such an honor to meet you. I’m Ana, a PA under Alison.” Hoping I made a decent impression, I make eye contact with him, and his stern façade breaks and he smiles. “Wonderful to meet you, Ana. Excited to have you here from the start. These flowers are great, were they here when you arrived? Very nice touch.” I smile thinking job well done to myself and let them know I brought them and just wanted to lighten up the room a bit. I continue to set up the table for the actor’s team as more Warner Brothers executives arrive.

Baz, the director of the film I’ll be working on, makes his way into the room and I hide my excitement. Moulin Rouge! and Romeo + Juliet were very important movies to me growing up and I’m a bit starstruck seeing Baz in person. “Big day, big day,” Baz says as he looks out the window in the back of room before taking a seat at the table. Toby and another Warner Brothers exec begin talking to him about how excited they are to nail down the role of Elvis in their newest project, a biopic film about Elvis Presley.

I smile to myself excited this is going to be such an exciting film to be a part of. Baz Luhrmann? Filming in Australia? Tom Hanks? ...and me?? Sure, I’m just a production assistant so I’ll be running errands, following people around to give them water or just any random task needed, but being on the set of a huge film by a filmmaker I admire means so much to me. I’d do anything to be on a film set like this; I’m so lucky for this opportunity.

It also doesn’t hurt the lead actor being offered the role is pretty handsome. While he is not my type at all, you can’t deny he’s good looking. Austin Butler, who I have not really seen in much, is being brought into today to officially be offered the role of Elvis. After months of audition processes with various actors such as Harry Styles and Miles Teller, Baz and the studio were confident they officially found their Elvis in Austin Butler. While I was not working here during the audition process, I heard Austin’s initial audition tape sealed the deal. Just as I’m thinking about this, the door opens and in walks Austin with his team…and wow, pretty handsome was an understatement.

I just know H is going to propose to her and knock her up in the coming year 🤭🤭

…about three-quarters of the way through filming. Pugh, who is a few degrees removed from Wilde’s ex, Jason Sudeikis, had reportedly grown fed up with the director’s frequent unexplained absences. “Olivia and Harry would just disappear,” the source says. But the breaking point came when Pugh, 26, and Wilde, 38, broke into a “screaming match,” this person recalls. According to our source, the acrimony between Wilde and Pugh allegedly reached all the way to the top of the studio totem pole, with the highest-ranking Warner Bros. executive at the time, Toby Emmerich, forced to play referee in a “long negotiation process” to ensure Pugh would participate in the film’s life cycle “in any way” and not jeopardize the potential box office.

I don’t think this will last much past the first week of movie release. Harry has other people to sleep with movies roles to … audition for.

If anyone is having a great autumn, it’s Harry Styles.

His Love on Tour jaunt, now in its second leg, boasts a reported running total of $233.5M and it’s still running. It’s the type of tentpole cash that any motion picture studio would envy.

Breaking this down: The singer’s 15-night residency at Madison Square Garden in New York City, which ran from late August to late September, was an anomaly for the venue; the Grammy winner is one of three musical icons to pull off such a feat alongside Billy Joel and Phish.

Styles is currently in the throes of another 15-night residency at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, CA.

Styles’ MSG dates together with his six sold-out shows at Moody Center in Austin, Texas have grossed in excess of $76M, not that far from the $85M worldwide running gross of his New Line genre pic Don’t Worry Darling, in which he co-stars.

 Don’t Worry Darling hits Japan on Nov. 11, moving that pic even closer to a near-century mark global gross.

And talk about an incoming Styles vortex on streaming in the days ahead: On Friday, the pop icon’s Amazon Studios movie My Policeman finally hits Prime Video with Don’t Worry Darling debuting on HBO Max on Monday Nov. 7. Don’t be surprised if either OTT services declares some sort of viewership record.

While live performances are the meat and potatoes of the Styles’ machine, a new horizon for the Redditch, Worcestershire, UK native includes his box office prowess. The fact that he helped pull in 73% women of all ages and minted a $19.3M opening for Don’t Worry Darling wasn’t lost on any major studio executive in town. They’re savoring on how they can best that figure by pairing Styles with the right IP moving forward.

And while Don’t Worry Darling alone brought an arsenal of tabloid headlines (they say there’s no such thing as bad publicity), not to be overlooked is Styles’ process and serious intent for the next chapter of his acting career.

Quite often it’s assumed that pop icons merely raise their hand and get the part. Or simply ease into a role, read: Madonna in one of her first big screen outings, Desperately Seeking Susan, playing a character quite similar to her onstage persona.

But much like his concert work, there is a great degree of sweat involved in Styles’ landing of parts going back to Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk.

On set, sources tell us Styles is so intense, he’s the type of actor who memorizes other cast members’ lines in a scene. For his turn as the beached soldier Alex in Dunkirk, Styles went through several rounds before he landed the part of one of the soldiers on the beach; Nolan wanting a group of unknown face actors (the 5x Oscar nominated filmmaker was reportedly unaware of the extent of Styles’ fame at the time of casting).

When it came to the Elvis audition, it started out with filmmaker Baz Luhrmann phoning Styles up. Casting knew Styles could sing and dance; reportedly the first song the singer ever recorded was Elvis Presley’s “The Girl of My Best Friend” on a karaoke machine. However, what impressed Warner Bros suits was how much vulnerability he brought to the role. “He’s a sponge and has a keen sense of curiosity,” says a close associate of Styles about what he brings to his prep. “He’s a relentless, insatiable watcher of films, everything from the present and past.”

Luhrmann wound up going with Austin Butler for the title role, telling the Australian radio podcast “Fitzy & Wippa” that he passed on Styles because “He’s already an icon.” However, Warner Bros couldn’t quit Harry.

“Over the years, I’ve seen a fair number of rock stars audition for leading roles in films,” former Warner Bros Motion Picture Group Boss Toby Emmerich tells Deadline.

“Usually, it’s very hard for them to shed their onstage persona,” Emmerich continues, “Once in a while, you come across a true rock icon that is just a gifted actor.”

Other names that come to mind include David Bowie, Mick Jagger and, in the pop realm, Frank Sinatra.

“They can disappear into a role and you see the character, not the rock star,” says Emmerich. “That was the case with Lady Gaga in A Star Is Born and that’s what Harry Styles did in his Elvis audition, and why he came to top of mind for the role of Jack in Don’t Worry Darling.”

Shia LaBeouf’s exit from Don’t Worry Darling proved an opportunity for Warners and filmmaker Olivia Wilde to select Styles.

Sure, Styles could have focused on much broader fare that came his way, sources tell us. There were romantic comedy and action movie offers. However, he specifically settled on complex parts in edgy projects, like being a 1950s husband whose hiding something more sinister from his wife in Don’t Worry Darling and essaying a London police officer who is forced to hide his homosexuality in the late 1950s set My Policeman.

“He’s not an actor who wants to play it safe, rather challenge himself,” says another studio insider

[sophism]

What Puck News wrote about the DWD set doesn’t sound great:

I’ve now talked to a few people who worked on the movie, and there are stories of Wilde’s ego and punishing demeanor. Honestly, I’m reluctant to pass along those comments if they aren’t on the record. Directors often elicit strong feelings, and managing a film shoot necessarily entails the kinds of hard decisions that generate enemies. Plus, criticism of a female director plays into stereotypes of women in power, and, let’s be real, Wilde is hardly the first director to run a tough shoot, or to begin a romance with a star, or to anger the leading lady of the film. That list is long and distinguished.

Having said that… Her relationship with Styles during the shoot was pretty obvious and annoying to the three people I spoke to, and the duo were sometimes tough to find during set-ups of shots. Pugh in particular was angered by the absences, according to these sources, and one source personally witnessed a tense conversation about this issue between the two. It doesn’t seem like a great environment.

But remember, this movie shot in the fall and winter of 2020-21, an incredibly difficult time. Darling was one of the first Warners movies to start after the Covid shutdowns. As such, Wilde would often hold meetings preaching Covid safety and asking cast and crew to avoid large gatherings, especially around the holidays. Then she and Styles appeared together at the early January wedding of Jeffrey Azoff, Styles’ manager, at San Ysidro Ranch. Some on the crew took that as a sign that the safety rules Wilde preached didn’t apply to her and Styles.

The film suffered several Covid-related shutdowns as it filmed in Los Angeles and Palm Springs, requiring an extension of the shoot dates. That’s not uncommon these days. The budget also ballooned from a planned $20 million to between $30 million and $35 million, per sources. As with many Covid-era films, the delays led to conflicts with the schedules of key collaborators. To keep one of those artisans on set as long as possible, Wilde asked Warner Bros. to pay for a private jet to facilitate travel, a request Warners’ then-chairman Toby Emmerich denied. So Wilde paid the $28,000 PJ costs herself. Given the Covid hurdles, one source at Warners said the studio didn’t consider this project to be particularly challenged. New Line’s Richard Brener, the lead executive on the film, has told people he would work with Wilde again.
