No matter who you believe, whether it’s the National Association of Theater Owners (NATO) saying theaters are being destroyed by streaming or perhaps studios trying to explain how streaming and theatrical release models will benefit everyone involved, the truth is that the theatrical experience is changing in a big way. And some, like John David Washington, are concerned about the survival of the big screen experience.

Will Thorne Staff WriterThe opening night of the Locarno Film Festival was led by a pair of rousing call to arms for the theatrical experience.Early on it was rain, rather than COVID-19, which threatened to put a dampener on proceedings, as sodden conditions in the famous Piazza Grande forced the world premiere of “Beckett” indoors.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticJohn David Washington shot “Beckett” before last summer’s “Tenet” put the actor on a short list of potential action figures. But when it comes to this considerably more modest, Greece-set manhunt movie — which kicks off the Locarno Film Festival before releasing via Netflix on Aug.

For a film in which John David Washington lurches, staggers, stumbles, shambles, flounders, falters, wobbles, scrabbles and totters across an entire Greek province, getting shot, stabbed, cuffed (often in the very same already broken arm), punched, beaten, chased and stung by bees, is in two-car crashes but also gets hit by a car, escapes in the trunk of a car, gets in a taser fight in a car and eventually falls from a great height onto a car, “Beckett” sure is dull.

Nick Vivarelli International CorrespondentItalian director Ferdinando Cito Filomarino first made a splash in Locarno in 2010 when his atmospheric short “Diarchia,” starring Louis Garrel, Riccardo Scamarcio and Alba Rohrwacher, scooped the Leopard of Tomorrow prize and went on to earn an honorable mention at Sundance. His feature debut, “Antonia,” was an intimate portrait of Italian poet Antonia Pozzi who, like the director, grew up in upper crust Milanese society.

EXCLUSIVE: With their action thriller Beckett set to land on Netflix on August 13, Deadline sat down with star John David Washington and director Ferdinando Cito Filomarino to chat about putting together the story of an American on the run amidst political unrest in Greece.

Last seen in Christopher Nolan’s mind-bending action thriller “Tenet”, John David Washington is back in a new Netflix feature that promises to be every bit as intense.

When Netflix announced its grand plans to release one original film a week back in January, well, let’s just say this writer was a little skeptical. Netflix has been true to their word so far, though, and with their recently announced slate of summer movies, it looks like the streaming service may pull the feat off.

EXCLUSIVE: Danny McBride, Gemma Chan and Benedict Wong are in talks to join John David Washington in New Regency’s upcoming film True Love, an original sci-fi project written and directed by multi-hyphenate blockbuster filmmaker Gareth Edwards. Kiri Hart will serve as a producer on the project along with Edwards. New Regency will produce and finance the film.

Earlier in the year, Netflix promised a barrage of movies coming in 2021. Well, they weren’t kidding and today, have unveiled a big summer slate of 30 movies coming every week this summer.

Netflix has the reputation for flooding its service with new series and movies at a breakneck pace, with many getting lost in the shuffle.
