Directed by "Spy" director Doug Liman, Jake Gyllenhaal's new film "New Dragon" recently announced that the film will be launched on Amazon's streaming platform Prime Video on March 21, which also means that this new film remake of 1989's "Dragon" will not be released in theaters.
In fact, as early as December last year, there were media reports that the behind-the-scenes production of the film was very chaotic, after it was reported that the film's producers had a fierce conflict with the film's production company, Amazon and MGM. The film's producers advocate for theatrical launch, while Amazon is strongly advocating for streaming. For Amazon, a rising star in the streaming industry, whether the film can ultimately make a profit does not seem to be the focus of attention, but whether it can bring traffic and users to its streaming platform Prime Video is crucial.
The 1989 "Dragon Killing" starring Patrick Swayze has still been called by many fans for many years
classics, and this "New Dragon" found Jack Gyllenhaal to play the role of Dalton, and also found the director of the first "Spy Shadow" Doug Liman to direct, and the film is also Doug Liman's first R movie. UFC champion Conor McGregor will also make his screen debut in the film.
However, according to media reports, this "New Dragon" may have little to do with the original movie, and is more like a modern version of the interpretation, and Dalton played by Jake Gyllenhaal and Dalton played by Patrick Swayze will also be very different in terms of character image.
After the film was announced to be directly streamed, the film's director, Doug Liman, immediately attacked Amazon on social media, saying that if such a main theme movie cannot enter theaters, then cinemas will cease to exist in the future. In addition, Doug Liman also announced that he will not attend the film's subsequent premiere to express his dissatisfaction with the film's direct streaming service.
As far as this year's Hollywood theater situation is concerned, due to the impact of the two major union strikes last year, many films originally planned to be released this year have been postponed, so there may not be too many new films in Hollywood this year, and in this case, it is still a bit of a waste for this "New Dragon Killing" to be directly streamed online.
