A Margherita pizza is a classic for a reason: you mix cheese and tomato atop a well-baked base with a handful of fresh basil leaves, and it works. The same goes for action movies. If you have two competent stars and a well-baked script with a handful of inspired add-ons, it works. You don’t get much bigger stars than George Clooney and Brad Pitt, who reunite for the first time in sixteen years in Jon Watts’s “Wolfs” as two unnamed fixers who realize they have been booked to do the same job.

Every year, we have the push and pull of cinema, a tension that keeps the medium healthy and on its toes. The big studio blockbusters, franchises, and the like dominate summer. Then fall is primarily reserved for the adult drama, the Oscar contenders, and arthouse films (and yes, some big tentpole escapist fare is released too, generally around Thanksgiving on Christmas).  But it all kicks off every year with the Venice Film Festival, which is followed closely by the Telluride Film Festival (more on that one later this week).

Alright, we’re in the dog days of summer, and this season is almost over. And you know what that means: it’s the season of fall film festival, prestige adult dramas, Oscar contenders, and the occasional blockbuster thrown in for good measure.

Does Apple have a hit on their hand in “Wolfs“?  The studio apparently thinks so, as Deadline reports that Apple Original Films had made a deal with director Jon Watts to write, direct, and produce a sequel for his upcoming George Clooney–Brad Pitt movie. On top of that, Apple also wants “Wolfs” in theaters. The flick will get a limited theatrical run through Sony on September 20 before its exclusive streaming debut on Apple TV+ September 27.

The truth is, Apple TV+ still isn’t a serious streaming contender. Sure, it has many flashy projects with A-list names. But what streaming service nowadays doesn’t?

Director Jon Watts is showing off his versatility and arguably getting back to his filmmaking roots. While Watts is known for directing three “Spider-Man” movies for Marvel, the filmmaker started out in the world of thriller and indies and got his breakout start with 2015’s “Cop Car,” which found much acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival that year. The buzz on the indie landed Watts the “Spider-Man: Homecoming” gig, which occupied him for several years, but he’s returning to the land of dramatic thrillers with the new starry field, “Wolfs.”
