In BriefPosted:2:26 PM PST November 23, 2024Image Credits:Apple TV+ /Wolfs sequel canceled because director no longer trusted AppleIt may be hard to remember, but George Clooney and Brad Pitt co-starred in a movie, Wolfs, that Apple released just two months ago.On Friday, the films writer and director Jon Watts said Friday that a sequel is no longer happening; in a follow-up interview with Deadline, he explained that he no longer trusted [Apple] as a creative partner.The company is reportedly scaling back its movie strategy. Wolfs, for example, was supposed to get a big theatrical release, but instead, it played in a limited number of theaters for just one week before launching on Apple TV+.Watts, who also created the new Star Wars show Skeleton Crew, said Apples shift was a total surprise and made without any explanation or discussion.I was completely shocked and asked them to please not include the news that I was writing a sequel, Watts said. They ignored my request and announced it in their press release anyway, seemingly to create a positive spin to their streaming pivot.As a result, Watts said he quietly returned the money they gave me for the sequel and canceled the project.Topics
