Viggo Mortensen Calls Amazon ‘Appalling’ and ‘Shameful’ for Dumping His 2022 Ron Howard Film on Streaming, Says Film Criticism Is ‘Pretty Poor’ These Days
Viggo Mortensen sounded off on Amazon's decision to stream Ron Howard's "Thirteen Lives" instead of giving it a proper theatrical release.
Viggo Mortensen called out Amazon in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine for the company’s decision to scrap an extensive theatrical release for Ron Howard’s 2022 movie “ Thirteen Lives ” and give it a global streaming launch instead. Mortensen, who starred in the well-reviewed Thai cave rescue thriller opposite Colin Farrell and Joel Edgerton, said the film was a “really good movie” that MGM intended to give a full blown theatrical release to after “they did their test screenings for that movie and got the highest scores in the history of that studio.” The movie earned solid reviews, with many critics comparing the film favorably to Howard’s previous ticking-clock survival thriller “Apollo 13.”
