Netflix David Fincher made an offer that he could not refuse to get House of Cards

David Venber was the most popular director in the world’s commercial and music video in 1992 when he followed the example of his ancestors Alan Parker, Ridley Scott and Tony Scott by revenge in the world of unexpected films. Redley withdraw, if it is permissible to speak, with “alien 3” Perhaps she felt a high step, but it turned into a nightmare that led to the settlement of Fincher’s dark vision and destroying the valuable studio. The emerging director got nearly 100 percent of the blame, and then it seemed that he would return to videos and commercial ads in the foreseeable future.

As we know, it rose brilliantly from the ashes three years later with “SE7en”, and was strengthened in the cinema GoK GOD Cinema in 1999 with the “Fighting Club”. Suddenly, Fincher was the X Stanley Kubrick generation (although, like many favorites in the movie Gen X, was technically a baby boom), and he has a vision now not spoke to the afternoon; He formed it. Unlike Cubrick, Venber needed to achieve successes to continue to win the types of budgets required to achieve his bold visions on his conditions. There is no shadow on the “panic room”, well, maybe some Shade On “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”, but Fincher had to play the studio to ensure its receipt A large swing like “Zodiac”.

Ultimately, Fincher surrounded the variable scene of the changing media and imagined that it should be included in the entire phenomenon of television peak. He has interfered in a new edition of the BBC political excitement series “House of Cards”, which will be written through the BEAU Willimon (“Farragut North”, “IDES of March”). When Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright fell as his planned leaders, he had a hot project on his hands. Each network and channel can hit its door to broadcast this lollipop, but in early 2010 there was unprecedented wrinkles: Netflix wanted to enter into the original programming game. The matter was ready to spend to make a huge splash.

When Netflix learned to participate in CEO TED SARANDOS that David Venber was preparing to show his first TV series, “House of Cards”, for all the usual broadcast suspects, spying on a chance. Fincher and Spacey was an attractive package, but when Sarandos discovered that both artists were very popular with Netflix subscribers, he had already could make a heavy offer for the exhibition stream exclusively on his perolit. It has been specially operated through the topic. “You have sex and revenge – all the TV you want,” Say a variety. “We had to get it.”

Sarandos has passed and took “House of Cards” directly from the market. Venb spreads a budget of $ 100 million and guaranteed two seasons before the exit fired at the pilot. Fincher also told that there would be no notes from Netflix C-Suite. There was no competition because all other big players should be aware of talent relationships. My sweetheart’s deal like this from HBO will have internal preferences like David Chase and David Simon, demanding creative and proportional freedom. Netflix did not have creative relationships, so it made it rain throughout Fincher and Company.

The other bold step by Sarandos was to issue all 13 “House of Cards” episodes on the same day, which started Madness Watching Sharia. Since Fincher was directed by Fincher, he had a completely registered pump in relation to the Seneville. In one hour for each of them, this was closer to getting a new English feature. I am not sure that there was such an inaccurate motivation to inhale all “House of Cards” without this added temptation, and for this reason I think it is appropriate to call Fincher, not Sarandos, the goddess of broadcasting.
