Netflix cancels one of the most anticipated science fiction films, it’s shocking

Kathryn Bigelow ultimately won’t Aurora

Kathryn Bigelow has not made a feature film since Detroitpublished in 2017. He had to go back with her Aurora, a science fiction film adapted from the book of the same name by David Koepp and whose plot would have focused on a mother trying to protect her son in an apocalyptic world. But the director in the end he will not materialize this project.

The New York Times decided to dedicate an article to change of strategy recently prepared by Netflix. Among the consequences of this choice we learn that of the streaming giant abandoned the adaptation ofAurora. Seven years later Detroitso we still don’t know what Kathryn Bigelow will do for her next project.

Netflix changes tactics

Thanks to the article by The New York Timeswe also learn that the change initiated by Netflix it seems important. The American company recently appointed a new head to lead the film division, Dan Lin. However, under the latter’s guidance, he now intends to offer feature films “Better quality, cheaper and less frequent. » And no more “blockbuster with great talents like The Gray Man and Red Notice. »

Eager to no longer spend so much, the streaming giant should therefore not do so no longer entrust large budgets to certain directors giving them freedom to make the film they want. In other words, if Martin Scorsese had, for example, tried to make it The Irish now, Netflix probably wouldn’t have given him the budget and creative freedom to do so. Kathryn Bigelow is therefore another “victim” of this change in strategy.

The platform wants more varied films

From now on Netflix also counts diversify your catalog offering movies of various genres. The idea is to try satisfy the tastes of all members of the platform. The audience’s desire should therefore come before the directors’ desire to make the projects they want.

It is still too early to fully measure the impact of this change. But, after the abandonment of the project Aurorasoon we should be able to observe other consequences of Netflix’s decision.
