The makers of the first major movie to be released since the coronavirus lockdown have told Sky News it is the"canary in the coal mine" for an entertainment industry looking to reopen.
The film Unhinged, a road rage thriller starring Russell Crowe, will hit cinema screens in the US on 1 July, months earlier than originally planned. It bucks the trend of films being delayed or released instead on television and streaming services. Almost a million TV and film workers are estimated to have lost their jobs in Hollywood alone after productions were shut down as the virus spread.Mark Gill, president of Solstice Studios which has made Unhinged, said he had been encouraged by polls showing movie-goers were keen to return to cinemas.He told Sky News:"We are most definitely the canary in the coal mine. We have some reasonable confidence that theatres will be open, but there's a risk.
