As a die-hard fan who eagerly awaited the release of Wolfs 2 and had my heart set on seeing the dynamic duo of George Clooney and Brad Pitt back in action, I must admit I am deeply disappointed with the recent turn of events. The abrupt change in Apple’s distribution methods for the original film has left a bitter taste, not just for me but also for director Jon Watts who felt blindsided by the decision.
The second season of Wolf won’t be produced anymore, with its director, Jon Watts, attributing this decision to a sudden shift in Apple’s distribution strategies.
On September 20th, the film “Wolfs” marked the return of George Clooney and Brad Pitt as a duo in a comedic hitman story directed by Jon Watts. This production is said to have cost Apple TV+ around $150 million initially, however, it quickly became their most-viewed movie on the streaming platform.
Consequently, a follow-up was promptly revealed, featuring the return of Watts, Clooney, and Pitt. Nevertheless, Watts has since clarified that the sequel has been canceled due to Apple’s approach to distributing the initial film.
Originally planned as a grand cinema debut, the heist movie starring Clooney and Pitt had its release strategy changed six weeks prior, opting instead for a limited streaming release with a brief one-week theater run. However, according to Watts, he was not informed of this change in plans ahead of time.
Apple sabotaged Wolfs 2 after streaming surprise
Earlier this year, I presented the completed version of ‘Wolf’ to Apple,” he clarified through Deadline. “Their response was incredibly positive, and they promptly asked me to begin work on a follow-up story.
Initially, they had pledged a grand theatrical debut, but at the last moment, they unexpectedly opted for a streaming release, providing no prior notice or conversation regarding this change. In fact, I only learned about it mere days before their global announcement.
Watts shared that he was taken aback by the announcement and subsequently requested Apple to refrain from issuing any statements about the sequel project he was engaged in. Nevertheless, as he stated, the sequel’s development had already been made public knowledge.
He stated that he was utterly surprised when they revealed his plans for a sequel without his consent, instead choosing to use it as a positive angle for their shift towards streaming. In response, he discretely refunded the money they had provided for the sequel.
I chose not to discuss the movie since I felt a sense of pride towards it, and I wanted to avoid creating unwarranted negative attention. Working alongside Brad, George, Amy, Austin, Poorna, and Zlatko was a delightful experience, and if given the opportunity, I’d be thrilled to collaborate with them again.
To set the record straight, it was me who decided against continuing the Wolf’s sequel, not Apple. Frankly, I had lost faith in their ability to be a reliable creative collaborator.
