10. ‘Wolfs’ (2024)
Okay, so I just screened the new thriller starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt, directed by Jon Watts, and it’s… interesting. Initially planned for a limited theatrical release, Apple decided to go straight to streaming with this one, which isn’t entirely surprising these days. Apple’s confirmed it’ll hit Apple TV+ globally in late September 2024. I’ve been digging into the details, and it’s clear the release strategy shifted quite a bit during production. It’s fascinating to see how they’ve managed the rollout, and the background story of getting this film made is pretty compelling too.

In the film, Mark Wahlberg plays a seemingly ordinary suburban father whose secret life as a former government assassin is at risk of being exposed.
