According to Deadline’s report, Netflix has taken a big gamble and bought the global distribution rights of Natalie Portman‘s much-awaited romantic comedy Good Sex for $55 million.
This deal is considered historic because Netflix won by giving tough competition to big companies like Warner Bros., Apple, and Amazon.
This deal became one of the most talked about acquisitions at the European Film Market (EFM), which proves that Netflix still remains the king of the streaming world!
Important details about the story and production of ‘Good Sex’!
Written and directed by Golden Globe winner Lena Dunham, Good Sex is an interesting romantic journey. It stars Natalie Portman as Ellie, a successful couples therapist by profession. However, after going through the pain of a long and failed relationship, she finds herself walking on a new path of romance and self-discovery.
The production of the film is equally strong! It is produced by Natalie Portman and Sophie Mas under their MountainA banner, while Lena Dunham and Michael Cohen have backed it under their Good Things Going banner.
Currently, casting is underway for the two lead male characters of the film, which has increased the curiosity of the audience even more!
‘Good Sex’ shooting location and release plan—know the full details!
Good Sex will be shot in New Jersey, where the deal has become even more profitable due to tax benefits. Due to the tax exemption, the actual budget of the film may prove to be more profitable than initially estimated.
Although this deal is one of the biggest purchases of the European Film Market (EFM), according to a Deadline report, it is slightly less than Sony’s deal to buy ‘A Man Called Otto’ in 2022 for $60 million. Despite this, the deal is considered to be quite profitable due to tax incentives.
So far, it is unclear whether the film will be released in theaters or streamed directly on Netflix. Audiences are eagerly waiting for this *romantic comedy!
