Monkey Man director and star Dev Patel explains how filmmaker Jordan Peele took the movie from Netflix to theaters. Marking Patel’s directorial debut, Monkey Man follows a mysterious man known only as “Kid” as he embarks on a mission of bloody vengeance against corrupt leaders who are responsible for the death of his mother. The film, which has been described as “John Wick in Mumbai,” originally began life as a Netflix production, but it’s now getting a theatrical release thanks to Get Out director Peele.
