WTF is a “movie event”? An excuse to pay the cast and crew less?
It’s a direct-to-streaming movie with the winner of the Best Actress Oscar.
Calling it an ‘event’ is fair in this case.
Movies pay more than series. “Direct to streaming” and “movie event” sound like contrivances to get around paying the cast and crew properly.
Goofy move, given the current labour climate. And sociopathically extractive even outside that context.
Won’t be watching this one. Y’all do as you please.
You seem to be assuming that a direct to streaming movie was Paramount’s preference rather than a second option to go forward in the face of Michelle Yeoh’s scheduling limitations following her winning just about every major award in 2022 for her performance in Everything, Everywhere, All At Once.
The series buy was already decided but not announced due to the situation on Yeoh’s side. Kurtzman has basically salvaged the situation with a streaming movie. Hopefully, it will also get a limited IMAX air theatrical release too but there’s no word on that.
