Netflix’s is expected to hit $14 Billion in spending on new content this year. Apple has even had to increase their spend on original Apple TV content to $5 Billion.
Let’s take a look at the Star Power $397 Million buys you.
Ben Affleck
$8 million for “Triple Frontier”
Ben Affleck has certainly proven himself a leading man. He hasn’t really done anything that I’ve been a big fan of in a long time, but, I did somewhat enjoy the movies he’s been in.
Gal Gadot
$20 million for “Red Notice”
Gal can do no wrong, her role selection is perfect, and I cannot wait to see her in the new Wonder Woman movie. I haven’t seen much on Red Notice but I’ll be sure to post the trailer when it drops.
Ryan Reynolds
$27 million for “Six Underground”
$20 million for “Red Notice”
This doesn’t surprise me – Reynolds has been heating up for some time now. We’ll likely see a few more Netflix’s and Ryan Reynolds collaborations in the near future, but until then, here’s a trailer for Six Underground (Out December 13th, 2019
Will Smith
$35 million for “Bright 2”
Will Smith is Will Smith, he’s an action star who tried tirelessly to win an oscars in serious roles. He went back to basic when he collaborated with Netflix on Bright, which, out of his last few movies, was probably the best. This is a trailer for the first bright.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson”
More than $20 million for “Red Notice”
It’s The Rock, he is a mega movie star, beloved by all, and I’m surprised it took Netflix’s this long to lock him down for a movie. The trailer for Red Notice isn’t out yet, but, Jungle Cruise is coming out soon and I’m looking forward to it.
Adam Sandler
$250 million for four movies
Sandler’s Netflix movies have been major critical misfires, but that didn’t stop the streamer from signing him for four more movies in 2017 after his initial deal. His 2015 Netflix movie “The Ridiculous Six” has a 0% Rotten Tomatoes critic score. Here is the trailer for his new movie.
