Netflix surprised the whole world in the course of the past days with a decision that came as a very big surprise for many people, given that the streaming platform currently has many projects blocked. Those from Netflix want to make their own James Bond film franchise, starting with actors Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans, a film worth 200 million dollars being already ordered by the company.
Netflix he chose the Russo brothers to direct this film, and we are talking about a very large investment that the company is making to have something similar to the James Bond franchise, but produced exclusively, to attract more subscribers. Netflix invests a lot in some projects it trusts, and this new film is among them, as it did with The Irishman, for example, although that film did not have the success the company wanted.
Netflix: The very IMPORTANT decision that SURPRISED the whole world
Netflix commissioned this film based on a series of books called The Gray Man, centering on Court Gentry, a former CIA officer who became an assassin, with Ryan Gosling playing him in at least some of the films. Gosling is going to be sold by Chris Evans, the CIA agent from the books who is following him to arrest him, and so Netflix is preparing to produce one of the most interesting films that will be released, most likely, in 2021.
Netflix he chose the Russo brothers as directors because they also directed Avengers: Endgame, the most profitable film made so far, so it was normal to choose people who have had proven success so far. The Gray Man book series consists of 10 titles, so Netflix has the possibility to stretch over decades with the films it will release for its subscribers, so it only remains to prepare the directors for all its subscribers.
Netflix announced that in 2021 it will invest even more in original films and series to have more titles than in 2020, so we can expect a lot of surprises offered by the American company.
