The new deal is something even more collaborative, and according to Fincher, he signed up with Netflix to increase his creative output.
The latest Hollywood filmmaking royalty to join their ranks is David Fincher, who spoke about his deal with Netflix to the French magazine Premiere, as reported by The Playlist.
Now, Martin Scorsese, Spike Lee, and many other reputed filmmakers have deals with Netflix to produce content for the streaming giant.
At that time, Netflix was best known for churning out Adam Sandler comedies and b-list films that were getting no buyers elsewhere.
