In Hollywood, everything goes very fast. The twists and turns of the situation follow one another, enough to scare the less initiated. And after The new internreleased in 2015 with Anne Hathaway and Robert de Niro, What women Want Or The Holiday, Nancy Meyers was to return to the front of the stage after eight years of absence.

netflix slams the door

Only, as Deadline reveals, Netflix and Nancy Meyers, who recently disagreed on the film’s budget, would finally go their separate ways. Indeed, Netflix would have finally decided to separate from the project. Meyers reportedly demanded 20 million more, a budget she would be adamant about. For its part, Netflix, probably believing that it has paid enough for the project, would not intend to go beyond. Result, Paris Paramount would not be on the side of the platform. Nevertheless, it is still possible that another broadcaster will take over. The budget still has to be respected. It remains to be seen who would agree to pay so much. Premium Video? Disney+? HBO? A more classic cinema distribution? For the moment, nothing is less certain.
