Lisa Collins has been named as Warner Bros. Discovery’s Group vice president overseeing diversity, equity and inclusion employee initiatives across North America. Collins will be replacing Karen Horne, who was let go a month ago amid restructuring efforts. She will, like her predecessor, be reporting to chief Dei officer Asif Sadiq.
Her promotion comes as Dei roles are under scrutiny following high-profile departures from Netflix (Vernā Myers), Disney (Latondra Newton), the Motion Picture Academy (Jeannell English) and elsewhere.
“Lisa is already a highly respected member of the Wbd team who deeply understands our employee population and has seen first-hand the positive impact equity and inclusion initiatives have on the corporate, creative and production processes – she is the perfect person to accelerate our employee programs throughout the region and will be an invaluable addition to my senior team,” Sadiq said.

Well, loyal readers, it’s that time again. December 31st, and you know what that means… it’s Val Kilmer’s birthday!
We here at Trailers From Hell would like to commemorate the moment with a look back at perhaps Kilmer’s signature role, the hard-partying sharpshooter Doc Holliday in the classic modern Western Tombstone (1993).
The story of Doc, the Earp brothers and their battle with a vicious gang of outlaws known as the “Cowboys” for the soul of Tombstone, Arizona, including the historic gunfight at the O.K. Corral, has been depicted on screen many times, many ways. But never with the verve and vigor of this picture, a riveting actioner boasting a cast of All-Stars. They even got Robert Mitchum to narrate!
After a spooky opening that introduces us to the ruthless Cowboys in all their evil ways as they disrupt a wedding in Mexico, we kick off...
