Netflix has secured the rights to produce Adam McKay’s next film, ‘Average Height, Average Build’, after a bidding war that involved major studios. McKay is an Academy Award-winning writer/director known for his satirical films such as ‘The Big Short’, and ‘Vice’. The film will be a comedy-drama that explores the themes of grief, loss, and forgiveness. It will follow a man who tries to reconnect with his estranged father after his mother’s death. The project has a star-studded cast that includes Jennifer Lawrence, Cate Blanchett, and Rob Morgan. McKay expressed his excitement about working with Netflix, citing their “bold” creative approach and their ability to reach a global audience. The film will be produced by McKay’s company, Hyperobject Industries, in partnership with Netflix.

The news of this collaboration is significant because it showcases how streaming services like Netflix are attracting top talent in the film industry, and how traditional studios are scrambling to keep up. With their vast resources and innovative approach, streaming services are changing the landscape of the film industry, and this film is yet another example of that trend.
