The once popular Turner Classic Movies (TCM) channel, which recently suffered lay-offs at the hands of its parent company and has in the past been accused of censoring films from its library, may be set for a revamp.

That’s according to a recent report by entertainment publication Deadline detailing a meeting between directors Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and Paul Thomas Anderson with David Zaslav, the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), about the classic film channel’s future. Zaslav had reached out to the Hollywood heavyweights about the restructuring of the long-running pay-TV network.
