Ben Affleck explains the Sinners deal that made studios mad at Warner Bros
"Ryan did a really smart thing with that deal. There's going to be a reversion, so the movie reverts back to his ownership"
"In 10 years, when they license Sinners again, that's all going back to him. And he bet on himself"
"A lot of people on the studio side were mad at Warner Brothers because it was like, oh, you're giving away this value"

The built in captions on this vid are horrendous and trying to read them with his hands waving all over the place behind the text was frying my brain lol
I love that Ben has talked about this deal so much since the details were released. Like he really is a fan
It is the kind of deal that studios dread, because they want to control creatives without having a shred of creativity themselves.
Man… I know Ben has his problems, but I could listen to him talk about the inner workings of film all day long.
