The highly anticipated action-comedy film ‘Wolfs’ led by Academy Award winners George Clooney and Brad Pitt is set for its world premiere at the 81st Venice International Film Festival ahead of its limited theatrical release on September 20 followed by global debut on Apple TV+ on September 28.
But before that Apple Original Films has tapped writer, director and producer Jon Watts to write a sequel to the film. That raises the anticipation even more for ‘Wolfs’ prior to its release.
Matt Dentler, head of features, Apple Original Films said, “Wolfs’ is the kind of big event movie that makes Apple TV+ such an exceptional home for the best in entertainment.” He further added, “With George and Brad’s remarkable and engaging chemistry under Jon Watts’ extraordinary direction, ‘Wolfs’ blends all the great elements of comedy, action and drama into a hugely entertaining movie that will leave audiences ready for what’s next. Releasing the movie to theaters before making it widely available to Apple TV+ customers brings the best of both worlds to audiences, and we’re excited to see fans embrace the movie as we start working with Jon on the sequel.”
In ‘Wolfs,’ Clooney plays a professional fixer hired to cover up a high-profile crime. But when a second fixer (Pitt) shows up and the two “lone wolves” are forced to work together, they find their night spiraling out of control in ways that neither one of them expected.
The star-studded cast also includes Amy Ryan, Austin Abrams, Poorna Jagannathan, Richard Kind and Zlatko Burić. Hailing from Apple Studios, ‘Wolfs’ is an Apple Original Film written and directed by Watts. The film is produced in partnership with George Clooney’s Smokehouse Pictures and Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment.
Watts and Dianne McGunigle produce. Clooney produces alongside Grant Heslov through Smokehouse Pictures. Pitt produces alongside Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner for Plan B Entertainment. Michael Beugg executive produces.
