“We’re a pure storytelling company and we’ve been fighting to get the greatest creatives to come work at Warner Bros. We have all the assets, this incredible library of IP, a diversified portfolio. In order to create great storytelling, we need great writers and we need the whole industry to work together and everybody deserves to be paid fairly. So our number one focus is let’s try to get this resolved. Let’s do it in a way that the writers feel that they’re valued, which they are, and they are compensated fairly.”
