The downside of the merger has begun. AT&T is the owner of WarnerMedia, Turner andWarner Bros. Digital Networks, and they've decided to shut down Filmstruck because it isn't a cash cow. I've been a subscriber since late last year and absolutely fell in love with the site, a partnership with Criterion, which has hundreds upon hundreds of hard-to-find classic films. Filmstruck will be axed on November 29th. Variety is reporting that AT&T “is looking to eliminate peripheral projects that aren’t major producers of revenue.” Fuck 'em.
Brolin has teases “Sicario 3” since at least 2022, and as recently as last November, he was saying it felt close. It wasn't. Then, this month, it finally clicked: Knight on script, Padraic McKinley (“The Weight”) directing.
