A sequel is on the way for the film Wolfs, starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt. Variety reports that, after the movie's wide release was planned, then moved to streaming, it will be given a special one-week theatrical release starting September 20, prior to its Apple TV+ bow on September 27.
Apple has enlisted director Jon Watts to helm, write, and produce the sequel. In Wolfs, Clooney plays a seasoned fixer who is brought in to cover up a notorious misdeed. Things get hairy when another fixer, played by Pitt, shows up, and the two "lone wolves" are forced to team up, with unexpected fallout.
Also appearing are Amy Ryan, Austin Abrams, Poorna Jagannathan, Richard Kind, and Zlatko Buric.
"Wolfs" epitomizes this blockbuster quality, which sets Apple TV+ above the rest in its league for entertainment, according to Matt Dentler, head of features at Apple Original Films.
He further mentioned: “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 theatres 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."
The sequel will be produced by Jon Watts and Dianne McGunigle, with Clooney and Grant Heslov producing through Smokehouse Pictures and Pitt producing with Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner for Plan B Entertainment. Michael Beugg will serve as executive producer.
