This long-delayed film directed by an aging permanent A list director will finally premiere in about two months.

That is, to everyone except the streaming giant.

Yet another colossal waste of money, but the streaming service has already sent signals out that they will spare no expense, legal or not, to try and buy as many awards as possible, for this white elephant of a film.
