Background: The Zanuck Company is a production company affiliated with Warner Bros.
(1989- )
Nicknames: "Z of Doom", "Red Z", "Z for Zanuck"
Logo: On a gradually zooming black background, a Z is drawn stroke by stroke. During the drawing of the last stroke, the letters "THE ZANUCK COMPANY" fade in one by one. The logo fades out and "DISTRIBUTED BY WARNER BROS., A WARNER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY" with the WB shield in between fades in.
FXFX/SFX: The drawing and letters fading in.
Cheesy Factor: It could have been better in 1989.
Music/Sounds: A whoosh followed by a synth chord ending with some bells.
Availability: Appears on Driving Miss Daisy, Rush, and Mulholland Falls, among others. Most of the time, The Zanuck Company doesn't use a logo.
Scare Factor: Low, bordering on medium; the dark atmosphere and the music may put off some.
