Netflix invested US $50 million to buy pain hustlers starring Emily Bronte, with the largest transaction amount in Cannes Film Festival. The film is described as a hybrid of "bear" and "wolf of Wall Street", but the plot is more like a derivative of "dopesick":
"Liza Drake (Bronte), who didn't finish high school, is a single mother. In order to live a decent life, she found a job in a start-up pharmaceutical company in a dilapidated area in Central Florida. Soon, she successfully entered the top of the company because of her courage and desperate spirit, and then found herself involved in a deadly conspiracy."
It sounds like the old story that the female medical representative selling painkillers successfully exposed the dark side of medicine, but the starring role was changed to Emily Bronte (tomorrow's war, silent land, jungle trek). The script is adapted by wells tower and directed by David Yates (left), who has made Harry Potter and magical animals.
"Pain hustlers" will start shooting at the end of August this year, which is good news for Netflix, whose share price has fallen sharply due to the loss of subscribers.
In addition, the new film "Downton Abbey 2" was defeated by "doctor who 2", which was released for three weeks, and its premiere performance ranked second in the weekly box office list. The box office of its point show on Thursday was only $1 million, and the box office in the first week is expected to be about $18 million.
The movie version of Downton Abbey released in 2019 has won US $190 million worldwide, but it is the old yellow calendar before the epidemic, and it is unrealistic to expect a sequel to create brilliance. The film has a first-class reputation, but the overseas premiere box office is only $29 million.
