WarnerMedia boss calls temporarily pulling Gone with the Wind from HBO Max a "no-brainer"

The Hollywood Reporter

WarnerMedia Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt says he regrets allowing the 1939 film on HBO Max without any disclaimer. “It was sort of a no-brainer, I mean, we have the best of intentions obviously here," Greenblatt said on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show. "We failed to put the disclaimer in there, which sets up the issue, basically, the issues that this movie really brings up...So, we took it off and we’re going to bring it back with a proper context, and it’s what we should have done. So, I don’t regret taking it down for a second. I only wish we had put it up in the first place with the disclaimer. And we just didn’t do that.” Meanwhile, John Ridley, who called on HBO Max to hit pause on Gone with the Wind and have it "re-introduced" with other films on slavery, says: "I hope that there will be context around it, now."
