Brad Bird Seeks Theatrical Release for Ray Gunn
“Brad Bird, the director of The Incredibles, is advocating for a theatrical release of his new film Ray Gunn, which he has worked on for nearly 30 years. The neo-noir sci-fi film, described as a blend of The Maltese Falcon and Buck Rogers, is set to debut on Netflix on December 18. Bird has been in conversations with Netflix to allow the film to be shown on the biggest screens possible, emphasizing that the movie is for people who appreciate cinema. Netflix has previously held theatrical screenings for some of its major titles, such as KPop Demon Hunters and the final season of Stranger Things.”
