THR
In another sign of Netflix's flexing of its film fortitude, the digital giant has made a seven-figure deal for a film pitch.
Netflix has picked up War Party, an adventure project that has Tom Hardy attached to star and Andrew Dominik, the helmer behind Brad Pitt's The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, to direct.
Dominik will co-write the project with Harrison Query. Ridley Scott's Scott Free Films, which is working with Hardy on his FX period drama Taboo, will produce.
War Party details are being kept in a suppressor, but it is described as a being based on true events and centers on real-life SEALS. Life rights was part of the deal.
Bidding was competitive for the project, with Netflix outflanking Amazon, Universal and Lionsgate, among others, according to sources.
