Kicsit ideges a rendező, így amikor ma végre kiderült, hogy az SXSW fesztivál nyitófilmje a Roadhouse remake, akkor nyilvános levélben jelentette ki, hogy részéről bojkott, mivel az Amazon nem küldte tényleges mozikba a filmet.

When Amazon bought MGM, one of the few remaining studios making big commercial films for theatrical release (movies like Bond, Creed) they announced that they would put a billion dollars into theatrical motion pictures, releasing at least 12 a year. They touted it as “the largest commitment to cinemas by an internet company.” I can tell you what they then did to me and my film Road House, which is the opposite of what they promised when they took over MGM.

What else could I have delivered to the studio? Nothing, it turns out. Because contrary to their public statements, Amazon has no interest in supporting cinemas. Amazon will exclusively stream Road House on Amazon’s Prime. Amazon asked me and the film community to trust them and their public statements about supporting cinemas, and then they turned around and are using Road House to sell plumbing fixtures.

Kicsit pipa, az egész levél szomorú, meg vicces is, mivel ritkán látunk ilyet nyilvánosan, többnyire a PR győz.
