The Most Influential Western Ever Made Officially Rides Onto Free Streaming

Earlier this year, director Gore Verbinski made a long-awaited directorial comeback with the well-received but financially unsuccessful sci-fi movie Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. Verbinski, who was once one of Hollywood’s most successful filmmakers, has had a difficult run in the last 15 years. Before Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, he made the psychological horror movie A Cure for Wellness, which underperformed at the box office as well. But the spiral truly began in 2013, when he directed a mega-budget, would-be franchise starter that reunited him with his Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp. The movie had a disastrous theatrical run, sending Verbinski to director jail. It was based on a classic television series that’s now available to stream for free on a new platform.
