Skydance Media announced today they will partner with Netflix to co-produce and release their upcoming original feature film Six Underground directed by Michael Bay (Transformers) and starring Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool).
This marks the first collaboration between Skydance Media and Netflix for an event level feature film and the first Netflix project for both Michael Bay and Ryan Reynolds. Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger will produce Six Underground along with Bay.
Six Underground is targeting a summer start of production for a worldwide release in 2019 on Netflix.
The action film is based on an original idea from writers and executive producers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, best known for their irreverent work on Deadpool and Deadpool 2.
