At 51-years-old, Noah Baumbach has had a lot of success in Hollywood, but that doesn’t mean he’s found a home. And no, we’re not talking about an actual house. We’re sure he has a very nice one.
We’re talking about a partnership with a studio. A place he feels will always have his back and entertain his ideas.
Thankfully, that’s changing though. It was just announced that Baumbach has signed an exclusive deal with Netflix. He will exclusively write/direct films for the streaming giant for the next several years.
He released a short statement on the deal:
When I started in the film industry I dreamed of having a home. It took me about 25 years, but it was worth the wait. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be making movies with Ted and Scott and everyone at Netflix, who are wonderful collaborators and friends and family.
As some of you may know, Baumbach and Neflix have worked quite well together the past few years. He released The Meyerowitz Stories back in 2017 to rave reviws.
And in 2019, he teamed up with Netflix again for ‘Marriage Story,’ which was nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
Safe to say, this deal is going to work out well for both Baumbach and Netflix.
Baumbach’s next film is White Noise, an adaptation of Don DeLillo’s seminal novel. It had been reported that Driver and Greta Gerwig would be starring in the pic, and while its not confirmed sources say the two are in discussions to star in the adaptation
Filming will begin later this year.
