And just like that, Warner Bros. has its own speciality film label.
Announced during the studio’s CinemaCon presentation yesterday, Warner Bros. Clockwork‘s output will include independently produced and acquired projects, in-house feature development, and the restoration of classic Warner Bros. films — all for worldwide theatrical release. It will be a home for singular filmmakers that powerfully connect with audiences theatrically across the world.
The new division will be run by former Neon CMO Christian Parkes, and its debut film will be Ti Amo!, filmmaker Sean Baker‘s highly anticipated follow-up to his Oscar and Palme d’Or winner Anora.
“Sean Baker is an artist who embodies everything we believe in at Clockwork, and Ti Amo! will be another gift to cinema,” said Parkes. “Plus, his poster game is on point.”
Baker will write, direct, edit, cast, and produce Ti Amo!, which will be released globally (excluding France) by Warner Bros. Clockwork in 2027.
Are you excited that Warner Bros. finally has a speciality label like Universal (Focus Features), Disney (Searchlight Pictures), and Sony (Sony Pictures Classics)?
