According to THR, Netflix has made a seven-figure deal to pick up the Navy SEAL movie War Party, co-written and directed by Andrew Dominik and starring superstar Tom Hardy.
Netflix reportedly beat out Amazon, Universal (Scott Stuber’s old studio) and Lionsgate to land the project.
Already a huge force in producing original series, Netflix is becoming a bigger and bigger player in the world of feature films.
Some kind of threshold seemed to get crossed when last month, Netflix picked up Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman after the gangster film was passed over by Paramount.
