I watched WOLFS on the Apple TVs. George Clooney and Brad Pitt play a couple
of aging fixers who end up on the same job and grudgingly are forced to work
together to clean up an accidental death in a hotel suite where the NY
district attorney (Amy Ryan) was canoodling with a young kid who fell off the
bed, hit his head, and died. Maybe. The movie goes on from there with Pitt and
Clooney unraveling a mystery with the help of the not-quite-dead-yet victim.

Pretty good movie. Supposedly doing bang-up numbers on Apple, but plans for a
sequel have been quashed. Rumors are that Pitt and Clooney were pissed off
about the streaming release of it. They were apparently expecting a theatrical
release and they felt it was an insult to be treated as a straight-to- video
level commodity.

 That is indeed the story. But I bet they come to some kind of deal over the next year to do a sequel - Apple might have to guarantee a theatrical release this time. But I bet a sequel ends up happening...
 

The way I heard it, the director was ticked off and said no sequel.
This wasn't really on my radar, but I'm not sure about renewing Apple+ when my subscription expires, so I might check it out now while I still can.
