Netflix Shitcanned Film Chief Dan Lin Too

Anthony D’Alessandro, reporting for Deadline:

Dan Lin is out as film boss at Netflix in a move that has been largely speculated for weeks. Insiders at the streamer have denied that Lin and even Bela Bajaria were on the chopping block, but here we are.

Lin is meeting with his feature staff Monday morning for a post-mortem after the news. Per sources close to the situation, a successor to Lin won’t be named until the arrival of Peter Rice, who is taking over Netflix’s Chief Content Officer role from Bajaria.

Netflix’s movies are worse than their series. (As opposed to Apple TV, which somehow makes terrible movies while making the best series in the business.)

Mike Isaac, on X:

it has long been understood that, qualitatively, a “netflix movie” exists in the liminal space between theatrical release and Lifetime production

with some notable exceptions, even the biggest budget productions feel cheap, strange and worst of all, unmemorable
