"Also bidding was PalmStar’s Kevin Frakes, who offered $4M for the Landis script and committed to a total budget around $60M."
"Netflix made it easier by ensuring they would be compensated as they would have with a hit movie. CAA packaged the deal, repping Ayer, Smith, Edgerton and Newman. WME repped Landis in the script deal. Landis is managed by Writ Large."
And he got 3 mil guaranteed? I'm not convinced he didn't get screwed on that deal to fluff up 'fancy names' deals.
I'll bet you *one million dollars* talk behind the scenes was not about servicing the writer. What kind of pressure was he under to play nice and take the 3 mil? And from whom? I'd love to know all the promise made.
