International Insider: Netflix Unpacks APAC; Luc Besson Interview; Louis Theroux Returns To West Bank


Louis Theroux BBC West Bank doc and the Netflix APAC showcase feature in this week's Deadline International Insider.

Amid the manga and k-drama deluge, she sat down with Minyoung Kim, Netflix’s VP of Content for APAC to discuss everything from the streamer’s multi-billion-dollar program and movie investment in Korea to how she hopes zombie films from Indonesia and Thailand will land later this year. Seems like those films are cutting through culturally as well, with Kim noting Netflix’s live-action adaptation of City Hunter led to combined digital and physical sales of the original manga series skyrocketing by 900%. 🌶️ Hot One: Apple’s next big TV adaptation will tell the origin story of Philip Kerr’s Detective Bernie Gunther – Peter Straughan, Bad Wolf and Tom Hanks are attached.
