Director Wonder Woman 1984 On Release On HBO Max: We Don't Have A Good Choice

Wonder Woman (Warner Bros)

JAKARTA - Warner Bros. decision to screen the film Wonder Woman 1984 in theaters and streaming caused mixed reactions. This time, Patty Jenkins, director of Wonder Woman 1984, spoke out regarding this decision.

Speaking to SiriusXM Stars, Jenkins said there weren't currently any good options for showing the film.

“If you had told me a year ago that a film would be released streaming in any form, I would be surprised. In general, I don't approve of those (streaming releases) plans, you know, I'm really a pro at releasing cinemas. "

On the other hand, Jenkins felt this year was a tough year. "We all try to find in life, how to do the best we can. And I keep saying there are no good options. "

When he heard the planned release, he thought about the concept of the film that people watch on Christmas Day. This film can be a choice of entertainment enjoyed by the public on holidays.

Tenet director Christopher Nolan also criticized this decision. "Some of the film industry's activists and important movie stars go to bed thinking they are working for the best film studios and wake up knowing the fact they are working for the worst streaming service," Nolan said in the statement.

Wonder Woman 1984 will be the first Warner Bros. film to be released in theaters and streaming. This film is played by Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, and others. Wonder Woman 1984 aired from December 16 internationally and December 25 in the United States.
