Netflix and the Duplass brothers are working on four new movies
Last year at the Sundance Film Festival Mark Duplass implored indie filmmakers to “get their goddamn movies on Netflix” and this year, it’s clear he’ll be doing more of that. At this year’s festival, Netflix announced it has a four-picture deal with Mark (The League) and Jay Duplass (Transparent) to make their small-budget films. The two parties have had a relationship ever since Netflix bought The Puffy Chair from the brothers ten years ago. The brothers have produced a slew of indie flicks ever since, and their show Togetherness is airing on HBO. Unlike Netflix’s Crouching Tiger and Adam Sandler movie deals, Deadline reports these will premiere in theaters before they go to streaming shortly after. There’s no word on what the movies are, but fans of flicks like The Do-Deca-Pentathlon, Safety Not Guaranteed and The Skeleton Twins should have an idea of what to expect.
