Earlier this year, it was reported that Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump) would star in another film heading to Apple TV+ after starring in the World War II drama Greyhound. We learned the film was called Finch, and that Apple had outbid a variety of different companies to secure the streaming rights. Unfortunately, at the time, we didn't know when it would actually start streaming.
Somehow, there's still room to grow the cast of Martin Scorsese's upcoming film Killers of the Flower Moon, which is coming soon to Apple TV+. It has had a stacked cast right out of the gate, but ever since its initial announcement it has been adding some big names to the roster. That continues today.
It's been a bit of time since we last heard about Sharper, an upcoming film from production company A24 heading to Apple TV+. Over a year, in fact. But today changes that, as news arrives that there's another member filling a lead role in the upcoming picture.
In a very short period of time, Apple went from a fringe presence in the entertainment industry to a major player, doling out a lot of money to secure new films, TV series, and documentaries for its video streaming service, Apple TV+. And if the company wants to remain a viable player, it needs to keep doing that. So here we are with another story of that exact thing.
Matthew Vaughn, the director behind films like The King's Man, has just landed a major deal to bring his newest film to Apple TV+. As revealed today in a new report, this one's another major deal, "seismic" according to the description, at least as far as the money being considered for the upcoming picture.
With so many things on some kind of hiatus, in one way or another, finding alternatives is an important element in today's reality. For example, major filmed productions of theater shows, like Hamilton for instance, have become popular in their own right. And now Apple TV+ is going to get one of its own.
Work on Killers of the Flower Moon, the next film from legendary director Martin Scorsese, is well underway. But apparently there's still room for another actor to join the already stacked cast.
According to a new report today from Deadline, Brendan Fraser (The Mummy, No Sudden Move) has joined Scorsese's next film. Killers of the Flower Moon is coming soon to Apple TV+, but we still have no idea when the film will actually premiere on the streaming service. Today's report doesn't get us any closer to knowing that date, unfortunately.
Being able to land major first-look deals is, well, a big deal, for companies and individuals alike. Which is why they're usually associated with highly competitive negotiations. And it turns out another one has happened, with Apple TV+ coming out on top.
With the initial free trials of Apple TV+ about to expire, Apple is sending out emails letting customers know they'll have to start paying soon. If they want to keep access to the video streaming service, that is. Which Apple would obviously very much prefer if you did.
There was a long period of time there where Apple was doing just about everything it could to nail down first-look deals. That included producers, directors, and actors. It's been quiet on that front for a bit of time now, but today might buck that trend.
It's been relatively quiet on the premiere front for Apple TV+ through the beginning of 2021. However, that is going to change throughout the rest of the year. And in an effort to get people excited, Apple's released a sizzle reel showing off the busy rest of the year.
Apple TV+ has been the go-to spot (mostly) for Peanuts-related content for some time. That includes new entries in the long-running property. And now there's a documentary coming down the line that takes a look behind the scenes.
