The problem with streaming services throwing money at prestige projects for long-term cred is… they’re really shit at it. I absolutely do not associate any of them with venues for quality original feature films, and I would never subscribe to them on that basis. Does anyone? If that’s part of the strategy, I’d say they’re failing miserably.
(This is a totally different conversation to the one where I’m very happy Scorsese gets a blank check to make whatever he wants. I don’t care about this movie’s success, but the idea that these massive streaming companies coming to the rescue of great cinema is, as it currently stands, patently horseshit.)
