Time Warner / Annual Report 2009
At our TV networks, we made
considerable investments in original
programming last year to make
them even more attractive for view-
ers, advertisers and a iliates. At
Turner in 2010, we are bringing back
hit shows like TNT’s The Closer and
Leverage and developing new origi-
nal dramas from Steven Spielberg
and George Clooney, while expand-
ing our original programming lineup
on TBS as well. At CNN, we are con-
tinuing to invest in newsgathering
to deliver the most comprehensive,
nonpartisan news and analysis to
global audiences across all plat-
forms. In addition, we’ll build on our
successes at HLN, with its interview
programs headlined by Nancy
Grace, Joy Behar and others, and at
CNN.com, which is the #1 news and
information site on the Web.
At HBO in 2010, in addition to bringing
back acclaimed and popular original
series like True Blood, Entourage,
Big Love and Hung, we will premiere
two new drama series: David Simon’s
Treme and Martin Scorsese’s
Boardwalk Empire. In March 2010,
HBO debuted The Paciic, the
miniseries from Steven Spielberg and
Tom Hanks, which is the companion
to HBO’s award-winning Band
of Brothers. HBO will also debut this
year You Don’t Know Jack, a ilm
directed by Barry Levinson and star-
ring Al Pacino in the title role of
Dr. Jack Kevorkian.
Warner Bros. delivered a record-
breaking year at the global box o ice
in 2009. We are very excited and
optimistic about this year’s ilm slate.
Tentpole releases include the sev-
enth Harry Potter ilm; Sex and the
City 2; Inception, from Christopher
Nolan, the director of The Dark
Knight; Due Date, from Todd Phillips,
the director of The Hangover;
Clash of the Titans; Yogi Bear; and
Legend of the Guardians, a 3D,
computer-generated animated ilm
based on the popular young adult
book series, Guardians of Ga’Hoole.
We are also proud of our new IMAX
movie, Hubble 3D, a ilm in the
tradition of Deep Sea 3D, another
IMAX release.
At Warner Bros.’ TV production arm,
we will continue to develop and foster
