Christopher Nolan Unloads on Warner Bros. Releasing Films on HBO Max, and He's Not Wrong
When Warner Bros. announced its game-changing decision to stream all of its 2021 films on HBO Max, Christopher Nolan got hilariously dragged on Twitter for his insistence on releasing Tenet during a goddamn pandemic, arguably causing the near-total destruction of theaters. That said, his criticism of how WB handled this latest move is not wrong. From all accounts, it sure seems like the studio made the decision without informing anyone, and understandably, filmmakers and stars are pissed. There are even rumors that this latest move could sever Nolan's working relationship with WB, and judging by his surprisingly candid remarks, there could be some truth to that.
