    Netflix Gets Exclusive Rights To Mark Duplass FIlm ‘Creep’ [Report]

    Movie news blog JoBlo is reporting that Netflix has acquired exclusive worldwide streaming rights to horror-comedy film Creep from director Patrick Brice and co-written by Brice and Mark Duplass, who also stars in the film and co-produced it along with Jason Blum.

    Creep is a found footage film, which debuted at SXSW last year, and currently holds a 6.7 rating on IMDb, which provides the following synopsis:

    When a videographer answers a Craigslist ad for a one-day job in a remote mountain town, he finds his client is not at all what he initially seems.

    According to JoBlo, the film will see a July 14th Netflix release worldwide.

    Earlier this year, Netflix revealed that it signed a four-film agreement with Duplass Brothers Productions, the production company of Mark and his brother Jay Duplass, which is responsible for titles like Baghead, Safety Not Guaranteed, Bad Milo, The Skeleton Twins, Togetherness, and others. Creep is not one of these films.

    “This is just the latest step in our very long relationship with the Duplass Brothers,” Netflix’s Ted Sarandos told Deadline in January of that deal. “We’ve been working with them almost since the very beginning, when we were red envelope delivery. Independent film has always been a big part of Netflix, and the reason we do things like the Adam Sandler deal is so we can do things like this as well.”

    In other Netflix content news, the company is reportedly trying to acquire Black Mirror, which is already popular on its streaming service.

  • Netflix Inks Deal for Four Duplass Brothers Films

    Netflix Inks Deal for Four Duplass Brothers Films

    Recently-prolific filmmaking brothers Mark and Jay Duplass have inked a big deal with Netflix.

    According to Netflix content chief Ted Sarandos, speaking with Deadline, Duplass Brothers Productions have signed a four-film agreement with Netflix.

    Each film will hit Netflix exclusively after a short time in theaters.

    “This is just the latest step in our very long relationship with the Duplass Brothers,” Sarandos told Deadline. “We’ve been working with them almost since the very beginning, when we were red envelope delivery. Independent film has always been a big part of Netflix, and the reason we do things like the Adam Sandler deal is so we can do things like this as well.”

    Back in October, Netflix signed a similar four-picture deal with Adam Sandler.

    How can Netflix commit to these multi-film deals? Like the Sandler deal, this Duplass deal is likely not random. Netflix puts a lot into big data. The company knows you’re going to watch these movies. It knows you’re going to watch them because Netflix has been compiling data on your viewing habits since day one, and it knows that Duplass Brothers films perform well on the service.

    No word yet on when we can expect the first of the films to drop.
