Clayface Pulled From Around 1,000 Theaters Ahead of Digital Debut
DC's R-rated horror film, directed by James Watkins, is set to arrive digitally after the first week of December, according to Collider.
DC's R-rated horror film Clayface is being removed from around 1,000 theaters, with a digital debut reportedly set for after the first week of December, according to Collider.
The film was directed by James Watkins. It is the latest release from DC Studios, the division formerly led by co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran.
Clayface began as a spin-off to Matt Reeves' The Batman, with Mike Flanagan originally attached to write and direct. The project was later folded into the DC Universe and handed to Watkins.
The theatrical pullback comes after a turbulent stretch for the studio: in the days before Collider's report, Gunn and Safran were reported to have been replaced after four years in the role. As recently as a few weeks earlier, Gunn said the franchise's long-term plan does not rely on an interconnected universe.
Reeves' corner of the franchise continued with a sequel to The Batman and the spin-off series The Penguin, alongside Todd Phillips' Joker: Folie à Deux.
