Director Accountant 2 reveals why Warner Bros. congratulates the sequel

Nine years after being an accountant, he made his theatrical debut with Ben Affleck starring as Mathematics Savant Christian Wolf, with the sequel finally on the horizon, and the trailer for Accountant 2 was recently released. Director Gavin O’Connor and writer Bill Debuque are back in the theatre sequel film in April.

Accountant 2 is where the 2016 film was suspended, when Wolf was recruited by the character of Cynthia Addai Robinson (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power) Marybeth Medina, and is responsible for Ray King’s murder. I’m trying to find it. It is played by Oscar-winning JK Simmons.

To mark the release of the trailer for the film, which took nearly a decade to get off the ground, O’Connor spoke in an interview with ScreenRant about the process involving Warner Bros. Studios, who distributed the 2016 action thriller The Courcountant, I did. O’Connor pointed out that Accountant 2 has been locked up in development hell since 2018.

Accountant 2 Director compares the process with a music chair

“Well, I think there were a few spinning doors and a little musical chair at Warner Bros. I signed a deal in 2018 to write my next film. Recently, it’s at Warner Bros., and there was a change in the structure. We were facing those obstacles,” O’Connor said.

The director continued. “Then Ben started fairness in his studio, artists. I don’t know if there were complications with Warner Bros. and Artist Equity doing business like a joint studio — I think that I don’t know exactly what happened by doing it all, but we couldn’t get it there.”

They had been trying to make a movie for eight years.

O’Connor explained, “If Ben had a studio, “If you don’t make it, then you don’t hijack it and not allow us to pursue this film we’re trying to make now.” 8 years. “They blessed us and let us leave. And we went straight to Amazon as they heard what was going on. Many people who worked at Warner Bros. Ben and I knew from the first film, so now they’re on Amazon, so I had a lot of friends, including Courtney Valenti and Sue Kroll. So we signed a deal with Amazon. It was a negative pick, so Ben’s company Artist Equity funded the film.

Blessings of disguise

Ultimately, O’Connor said the move to Amazon was beneficial to the team, and he felt that he was “making a million-dollar independent film.” He added: Then (we) brought it to Amazon. They were really happy and satisfied.

Accountant 2 also stars Daniela Pineda, John Bernsal and Grant Harvey. It will be held at the theater on April 25th.
