Netflix has just bought the rights to the movie Extinction, a science fiction thriller starring Michael Peña and Lizzy Caplan.
Despite being fairly new to the purchase of titles like The Irishman, Annihilation or even Extinction, Netflix is not necessarily unfamiliar with botched marketing gimmicks.
Lizzy Caplan will play his wife, as they fight for their lives and discover some hidden strength to keep them safe.
While high-profile Netflix original movies and TV shows are nothing new, the purchase of high-profile titles before a theatrical release date is fairly new territory with the streaming service.
