Why? Financially, perhaps, but i'm sure he has enough money for a few lifetimes. He wants his content to be accessible to as many people as possible, not just those with an apple TV. Thats a good thing.
^^ I don't watch Oscar so I wouldn't care to win a award I believe award shows is overrated but for adults it's importantIn order to be eligible for an Oscar, you have to have a theatrical release.
I think it’s a poor move by Apple. By continuing to be greedy and relentlessly pushing for exclusivity, Apple missed out.
A little bit of something is much better than a whole lot of nothing.
He took the money. Just not from Apple. He signed for less with warner, but non-exclusive. The non-exclusive is so that he can take even more money from others. It was a monetary decision. Not a decision to put his art above money.He had the opportunity to earn half a billion dollars with Apple but turned it down to pursue other ventures. It would have been far easier to take the money but he chose not to.
No amount of money is worth giving up creative control of your company for a specifically length of time. A company wants multiple clients, not one client.

He only directed the first Star Trek and Star Wars movies. He's not responsible for the sequels (though he wrote and directed the third unreleased Star Wars movie). Super 8, Alias, Felicity, Joy Ride, and Armageddon are the only other projects he was actively involved in either as writer and/or director. He directed the pilot of Lost, which is one of the best pilots ever created for a television series (but that's where his involvement ends). The rest he just gets producer credits.I don't find the guy all that talented anyways
The Star Treks reboots are ok at best and maybe I just think that because I'm not a Trekkie / strongly dislike the direction of new Star Wars save for Solo.. but his other efforts? Lame!

He had nothing to do with Cloverfield or Lost (beyond the first episode), so you're complaining for nothing.I feel bad for people that Lost all that time they’re never ever getting back. Was never interested in that crap.. I’m confused why being confused constantly is considered solid entertainment? And I like a good mystery occasionally too.
Super 8 was unforgivably bad / nostalgia fail.
And don’t even get me started on Cloverfield
Given his track record, his company really ought to be called Bad Reboot.

And it isn't like Apple was giving him 500 million for his checking account.
He spend 200 million on SW VII (if it was worth it i leave it to you...). 500 million is not that impressive.

Thank you for making clear a fallacy many have as to who is responsible for the final look and feel of television and film; it is the producer. That is why when productions win "Best Picture" the producers accept the award. To state that someone's involvement ends because they are "just" the producer demonstrates ignorance of the process. As an example, on most small screen projects the director is gone long before the edit is completed, the producer finishes the show (with a team). This is the case with most movies as well. That's why the most talented directors will also have a producer (or executive producer) credit so they can stay involved in the final decisions. Love Abrams or hate him, he is ultimately responsible for everything as the producer.He only directed the first Star Trek and Star Wars movies. He's not responsible for the sequels ... He directed the pilot of Lost, which is one of the best pilots ever created for a television series (but that's where his involvement ends). The rest he just gets producer credits.
Looks like this is something we all have in common. See? An online community!Like JJ, I've also not accepted a half billion dollars from Apple. In fact, I've not accepted hundreds of millions from anyone. It isn't that big of a deal. I do this every day.
Or remake the last Season of Lost.Apple should pay him $500M to bring back Fringe.
On another note, this article is missing lens flare.
I think Apple TV+ will be a force in 5 years.
So Apple (or “sources” close to Apple) didn’t dispute that were poorly positioned to win these kinds of deals, only the idea that Abrams didn’t like the March event. Good grief.
