„We fully support Sundance’s decision to move the festival to a virtual format,“ but the filmmaking team prefers a premiere with a live audience
Michel Hazanavicius’ film “Final Cut” has dropped out of its planned premiere slot at the Sundance Film Festival after the festival chose to move to a fully virtual format amid the widening COVID-19 pandemic. Hazanivicius, who took home an Oscar for Best Picture winner “The Artist,” said he and the filmmakers support the festival’s decision but they prefer to open the film in a theater with a live audience. The movie is also no longer listed on the Sundance program website for 2022.
