Plus: Cannes 2020 lineup coming next week, and a profile of Bret Baier. --Alex Weprin [Apple's Big Swing] Apple's Big Swing ►Martin Scorsese's next epic will go to Apple. Killers of the Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese’s high-priced period thriller that has the filmmaker’s frequent collaborator Leonardo DiCaprio attached to star, has found a deep-pocketed partner in the tech world. Apple is in final talks with Paramount to partner and produce the project, which carries a price tag of more than $150 million, Borys Kit reports. The move comes after months of the project's backers looking for a way to mitigate the cost of the feature, which kept escalating. MGM and Netflix were among the potential suitors that kicked the tires. [The story](. ►President Trump targets the social media giants. Angry over Twitter's decision to attach a fact-check to certain tweets, Trump is expected to sign an executive order today ordering a review of a law that has long protected internet companies from lawsuits, according to a draft of the order viewed by Today In Entertainment. The draft order would also create a White House Tech Bias Reporting Tool, which would collect accounts of bias and forward them to the FTC and DOJ for review. It would also order federal agencies to reevaluate their ad spending on social media, which has totaled more than $1.5 billion in recent years. --Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was also pulled into the debate, after being asked about it during interviews on Fox News and CNBC (the interviews were booked well before the Twitter controversy). “I don’t think that Facebook or internet platforms in general should be arbiters of truth,” Zuckerberg [told CNBC]( Thursday morning, echoing a comment he made on Fox Wednesday night. “Political speech is one of the most sensitive parts in a democracy, and people should be able to see what politicians say.” --"We’ll continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally. And we will admit to and own any mistakes we make," Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey[tweeted](. This does not make us an 'arbiter of truth.' Our intention is to connect the dots of conflicting statements and show the information in dispute so people can judge for themselves. More transparency from us is critical so folks can clearly see the why behind our actions." +As President Trump pledges a social media crackdown, D.C. circuit offers its version of subtweet. A conservative group alleging its political viewpoints have been suppressed on Twitter and other platforms gets an interestingly-timed judgment. [The story](. ►Layoffs hit CBS. CBS' entertainment and news divisions are going through a round of layoffs as part of the restructuring following the merger with Viacom. There are several reasons for today’s events. First, in some cases, this is part of our continued integration of operations following the merger with Viacom," wrote CBS chief George Cheeks in a memo to staff Wednesday. "Second, these moves are in response to the ongoing and transformative changes happening in the media business, as well as circumstances from the unprecedented pandemic that we continue to navigate. We’ve already seen new and creative ways that we’ve adapted to these changes, and that evolution needs to continue." [The story](. +"Everyone is shocked": CBS News hit hard by layoffs. "There isn’t a single person leaving who did a bad job," CBS News president Zirinsky said on a call with staff Wednesday. "It’s economics. It is absolutely the financials that has forced us to make these decisions. ... I’m really sorry. There is not a person who won’t be missed.” Jeremy Barr [has the story](. +ViacomCBS also promoted Jonathan Karp to president and CEO of Simon & Schuster after putting the book publisher up for sale. Karp succeeds Carolyn Reidy, the former president and CEO who passed away earlier this month at age 71 due to a heart attack. Karp most recently served as president and publisher of Simon & Schuster Adult Publishing. [More](. +Also: Rogers & Cowan/PMK is the latest Hollywood firm to be hit with COVID-19-era layoffs. The venerable publicity, integrated marketing and communications agency let go of 35 publicists — or about 10 percent of its staff — in offices from Los Angeles and New York to London.[More](.
