Actor Viggo Mortensen says that Amazon's 'greed' ruined the release of Ron Howard's Thirteen Lives movie, which also stars Colin Farrell.
Thirteen Lives is a 2022 biographical survival movie about the Tham Luang cave rescue. Mortensen played Richard Stanton in the Howard-directed movie, which also starred Colin Farrell, Joel Edgerton, and Tom Bateman.
He added, “They have all their excuses for why they did that, but it comes down to greed. How much money do you need? I think Amazon could certainly have respected the deal, as they said they were going to, and released it widely in theaters and let it have its run. And then they could have also made money streaming. But they figured it would be more cost-effective—i.e.
“…They certainly could have had a run at awards and prestige for themselves. I agree—I think it’s short-sighted. For a guy with such a storied career like Ron Howard, who has made so much money for studios, who was so deservedly well-recognized as a filmmaker historically—to do that to a guy like him I think is appalling. He’s a very nice guy, so he hasn’t gone out there complaining about it, but I’m happy to do it for him. I’m not speaking for him, I’m just speaking for myself.
