Brad Pitt and George Clooney's film 'Wolfs' will not be getting a sequel despite its success, after the film's director and Apple disagreed over release strategy.
Despite being a reported hit, Brad Pitt and George Clooney’s recent onscreen teamup, 'Wolfs,' will not be getting a sequel. According to Deadline, 'Wolfs' was the most viewed feature film on Apple TV+, and the outlet had previously confirmed a sequel was on the horizon. However, the film’s director, Jon Watts, pulled the plug after a disagreement with the streaming service.
showed Apple my final cut of ‘Wolfs’ early this year,' Watts told Deadline. 'They were extremely enthusiastic about it and immediately commissioned me to start writing a sequel. But their last-minute shift from a promised wide theatrical release to a streaming release was a total surprise and made without any explanation or discussion. I wasn’t even told about it until less than a week before they announced it to the world.
But the truth is that Apple didn’t cancel the ‘Wolfs’ sequel, I did, because I no longer trusted them as a creative partner.' 'Wolfs' had a premiere in September at the Venice Film Festival, where Clooney cleared up rumors about his and Pitt’s paychecks for the film and the release plans during a press conference for the film.
You guys are all in this, too,' he added. 'We’re all in this industry, and we’re trying to find our way post-COVID and everything else, and so there’s some bumps along the way. It is a bummer, of course, but on the other hand, a lot of people are going to see the film, and we are getting a release in a few hundred theaters, so we’re getting a release. But yeah, it would’ve been nice if we to have a wide release.
an interesting article, and whatever her source was for our salary, it is millions and millions and millions of dollars less than what was reported. And I am only saying that because I think it’s bad for our industry if that’s what people think is the standard-bearer for salaries,' Clooney said, per People. 'I think that’s terrible, it’ll make it impossible to make films.'
