Apple's original film 'The Banker' will be released in theaters this March, reports Variety.
The Banker was originally supposed to close AFI Fest last year but was delayed after a family member of one of the men in the film accused one of the film's executive producers (also a family member) of abuse.
“We created Apple TV Plus as a home for stories that matter and believe ‘The Banker,’ inspired by the brave actions of Bernard Garrett Sr. and Joe Morris, two African American businessmen who brought about positive social change, is one of those stories,” an ATV+ spokesperson told Variety.
“We wanted to take the time to understand the situation at hand — and after reviewing the information available to us, including documentation of the filmmakers’ research, we’ve decided to make this important and enlightening film available to viewers. ‘The Banker,’ starring Anthony Mackie, Samuel L. Jackson, Nia Long and Nicholas Hoult will be released theatrically on March 6, 2020 and available on Apple TV Plus on March 20, 2020.”
