We have confirmed that Twinless, a very hot title at Sundance, has been pulled from the festival’s streaming site due to piracy. This is the second movie on the fest’s portal to be pulled after online leaking; yesterday we told you that the fest award winning documentary Selana y Los Dinos was dropped from the Sundance site after making its way on TikTok, etc.
Sundance began streaming its lineup during Covid, and continued the practice after the live-edition returned. The whole idea of the portal has divided the industry that frequents Sundance. The fest reported in 2021 that half million people tuned into their streaming portal to watch movies.
Republic Pictures is the acquisition label for Paramount Pictures. They made the James Sweeney directed and written bromance dramedy for a cost in the single digits. One source close to the movie tells us that “buyers are circling the movie like plans at O’Hare airport”.
We’re reached out to Sundance and Paramount for a statement and we’ll update you when we hear back.
More.
