News about Jack Warner

At one point, Jason Bailey, a freelance film critic, condemned the 63-year-old CEO for his corporate conduct, comparing Zaslav to 'Succession' antagonist Logan Roy.' The essay cited tensions between filmmakers and members of the industry's top writers union, which is currently on strike. It also discussed recent layoffs made by the media company to Turner Classic Movies, which falls under Warner Bros. Discovery is a brand new thing. A Zaslav spokesman who wrote an article in the Washington Post told GQ a short time after the article was published.

Anyone with a keen interest in film will be entertained (and amazed) by this four-part series 100 Years Warner Bros: from Bette Davis bursting in on Jack Warner on the loo, to Oliver Stone being threatened by JFK. Oscar-nominee Leslie Iwerks, whose grandfather drew Mickey Mouse for Walt Disney, made the doc. In Cannes, where the picture is being displayed, she told me she interviewed around 60 film stars for her project, including George Clooney, Baz Luhrmann, and Oprah Winfrey.

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: Jack Warner is a pale recreation of the man who once ruled the world as one of the world's greatest power brokers, sporting a dishevelled shirt and surrounded by broken chairs in the tatty environs of a newspaper office on the tropical island of Trinidad. Warner was a major presence in the international game for three decades, from a first-class flier to five-star hotels, rubbing shoulders with presidents, prime ministers, and princes. However, this was before the dramatic fall from grace, before the FBI started to leak allegations of widespread wrongdoing long before the FBI was convicted of misconduct, and before he was barred from participating in any football.

When what was rumored to be a World Cup promotional poster went round on social media last week, there was a particular piece of it that caught the attention. 'Qatar welcomes you!' It read: However, homosexuality is outlawed in dating, 'immodesty,' and, erm, homosexuality. Many argued for an interesting sense of 'welcoming.' Gianni Infantino, the FIFA president, has denied that the photograph is fake. Fine. However, there is no one who argued for it. No one batted an eyelid that it might not be true. That's the effect Qatar has had on those who have followed the World Cup.

BY MARTIN SAMUEL: Even now, all these years later, David Deinheim has The Dream. He's been sitting in his office since 5 p.m. A man comes in and hands him a sheet of paper. It's often a death warrant. A death certificate is often used in lieu of a death certificate. Either way, it signals the end. Peter Hill-Wood, the late Arsenal chairman, was the man. The nightmare isn't really a fantasy, either. It's a sub-conscious recreation of a true event from April 18, 2007, when Hill-Wood, Arsenal director Chips Keswick, and a Slaughter and May employment lawyer terminated Dein's employment at his beloved club. Dein is now sitting in his Mayfair home. He has revisited the time for his illuminating autobiography, Calling The Shots - extracts from which will be published in the Mail on Sunday - but it's clear he is not comfortable.
