Apple has canceled the premiere of one of the

tech company’s first original films, “The Banker”

the day before it was to debut at Los Angeles’

AFI Film Festival.

In a statement Wednesday, Apple said that last

week it learned of “some concerns” surrounding

“The Banker” and needs “some time to look into

these matters.” An Apple spokesperson declined

to elaborate.

The based-on-a-true-story film stars Samuel

L. Jackson and Anthony Mackie. Mackie plays

Bernard Garrett who in the 1950s and ’60s

recruited a white man to pose as the face of his

expansive real estate and banking business.

In 1968, Garrett was convicted of misusing

bank funds.

The film is Apple’s boldest step yet into

moviemaking. A theatrical release is scheduled

for Dec. 6, after which it would be a part of the

company’s new streaming service, Apple TV Plus.

AFI said it would replace “The Banker” with a

screening of Noah Baumbach’s Netflix release

“Marriage Story” as its closing-night film.
