WBD falsifies a streaming and studios Warner Bros. division under David Zaslav, which will differ from the Divization Global Networks Division of Discovery under the direction of ex-WBD CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels.

International Changes at WBD

Internationally has been changed under Wiedenfels, with ex-WBD LAT AM-boss Fernando Medin taking on the president of the international role and effectively promotes his kind of predecessor Gerhard Zeiler to the President of Discovery Global in the USA, Great Britain, and Germany. However, the announcement did not contain any information about Warner Bros.’s international TV production studio, which has bases in several countries and makes some of the largest non-written hits from Warner around the world.

UK Agency Shakeup

Big Shakeup in the British agent area this week with a whopping four out of five partners in Hamilton Hodell changes to the management company B-page. This is a serious exodus of senior agents. Alexander Cooke, Madeleine Dewhirst, Christopher Farrar, and Sian Smyth will compete with the B-side from today and take huge stars such as Naomi Ackie, Aaron Pierre, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Emilia Clarke, Sophie, and Leo Woodall.

The Power of British Talent

The move is just the last one who updates the always worse agent room in Great Britain, which has been alive and employed since Curtis Brown’s Uta takeover. It is reminiscent of the power of the British talent. At the moment, Hamilton Hodell remains strong with at least half a dozen agents that remain with mega talents such as Tilda Swinton, Ben Whishaw, and Emma Thompson.

Netflix Expands its Reach

Big Moves in the Mena region, when Netflix continues his way to the world agency regulation with a pioneering deal with the MBC group of the Middle East. The deal, which is referred to by those "innovative", will result in customers of MBCNOW -MBCs recently launched entertainment service aggregator -together with the Shahid streaming channels and linear television channels from MBC in a subscription to access to the full Netflix service.

Local Aggregation and Commissioning

Netflix already plays a good performance in the region, but at the same time looks with a hard competition by Shahid. So this feels that you cannot beat them, join ’em’. The streamer has presented this type of deal all over the world in the past few weeks, including the pioneering TF1 awards, and so it seems that the local aggregation Netflix is now as important as the local commissioning.

Mubi has maintained the call in recent years to be an independent dream of the authors, but the dealer was in the spotlight in the spotlight for very different reasons. In fact, several such authors have annoyed it. On Wednesday, Mubi received from a series of filmmakers with connections to the distributor-Darunter Radu Jude, Sarah Friedland, Joshua Oppenheimer, and Cherien-over a recent private equity company Sequoia Capital.

Controversy Surrounding Sequoia Capital

The problem is that Sequoia has supported a number of Israeli military technology companies since October 7.
