GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Apple is betting on Heder's track record to repeat CODA's historic Oscar win, which made Apple TV the first streamer to claim Best Picture. A strong awards run would bolster Apple's original film strategy as it competes with Netflix and other studios for prestige content and subscriber attention.
- Siân Heder's follow-up to Oscar-winning 'CODA' is 'Being Heumann,' based on true events.
- The film stars Ruth Madeley and Mark Ruffalo and depicts a landmark 1977 disability rights protest.
- It hits theaters November 6 and streams on Apple TV from November 13.
