I'm sad to report that RACHEL, BREATHE, will not premiere on ESPN2 today. After several days of negotiations that should have been very simple and were not about money, but rights, the ESPN lawyers stopped talking to us an hour before broadcast and said, "sign it now or we are pulling the show". I'm extremely disappointed for Rachel and John and entire team that spent 2 years making this film about hope, love and friendship. We remain genuinely excited for the day this documentary reaches the world, it is simply not tonight. And just like Rachel, we remain resilient and the moment I know where and when the premiere is, you will hear from me. And thanks to Dick's Sporting Goods for fighting the fight. @espn @DICKS @bostonmarathon

#TheWarriors dropped 47 years ago today and remains my favorite film to date. I pray Hollywood forgets it exists and never attempts to remake it.🤘🏾🥃

We shot Walter Hill's classic film traveling across NYC for 67 nights in a row during the summer of 1978. It was quite a journey.

The Warriors (1979) Based on Sol Yurick’s 1965 novel (itself inspired by the ancient Greek Anabasis), the film was originally envisioned as a western before being adapted into a gritty urban odyssey. It was shot on location across New York City during a period of real-life urban decay, which provided an authentic, "nightmarish" backdrop for its fictional gangs. Despite being produced on a modest budget of roughly $4 million, it grossed over $22.5 million worldwide. It opened strong with a $3.5 million weekend, proving highly popular with young, working-class audiences. Success was marred by reports of real-life gang violence and vandalism at screenings. This led Paramount Pictures to temporarily halt advertising and release theater owners from their contracts to show the film. The film’s longevity was solidified by its 1980 VHS release, which allowed it to find a massive audience through word-of-mouth and midnight screenings. It has since seen numerous re-releases, including the 2005 "Ultimate Director's Cut" (which added comic book-style transitions) and high-definition versions on Blu-ray and 4K. It is celebrated for its vivid visual language—specifically the theatrical, themed gang costumes like the Baseball Furies—and iconic dialogue such as "Warriors, come out to play-i-ay!"
