We were today years old when we learned that MGM studios had their own online streaming network. Sure, it’s owned by Amazon, but it’s not included in Prime. The only reason we know this network exists is we just saw the trailer to an upcoming film from Henson Studios called the Portable Door starring Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill.
The fantasy film tells the story of two interns at a mysterious company who end up in possession of a magical door that can take them wherever they want to go. It just looks like a fun movie. It’s a shame that no one will be able to find it on MGM+
The movie centers on Paul Carpenter and Sophie Pettingel, lowly, put-upon interns who begin working at the mysterious London firm J.W. Wells & Co., and become increasingly aware that their employers are anything but conventional. Charismatic villains Humphrey Wells, the CEO of the company, and middle manager Dennis Tanner are disrupting the world of magic by bringing modern corporate strategy to ancient magical practices, and Paul and Sophie discover the true agenda of the vast corporation.Show less
