‘Wolfs’ sequel canceled because director ‘no longer trusts’ Apple

It may be hard to remember, but George Clooney and Brad Pitt collaborated in the movie, “Wolfs,” which Apple released two months ago.

On Friday, the film’s writer and director Jon Watts said on Friday that another sequel is not happening; in a subsequent interview with Deadline, he explained that he “didn’t trust me anymore [Apple] as a wise partner.”

The company is reportedly pushing back its film strategy. “Wolves,” for example, was supposed to get a big theatrical release, but instead, it played in a limited number of theaters one week before launching on Apple TV+.

Watts, who also created the new Star Wars show “Skeleton Crew,” said Apple’s switch was “totally surprising and done without explanation or discussion.”

“I was so shocked that I asked them not to include the news that I was writing the next episode,” said Watts. “They ignored my request and announced it in their press release, however, it seems they are putting a nice spin on their broadcast pivot.”

As a result, Watts said he “quietly returned the money they gave me to move forward” and canceled the project.
