Netflix Wins Out In Big Auction For Natalie Portman-Lena Dunham Rom-Com ‘Good Sex’


This is one of the biggest deals ever carved out at the EFM market and comes after a hot pursuit.

The synopsis reads: “After spending a decade in a failed relationship, successful couples’ therapist Ally (Portman) is turning 40 and is pushed, kicking and screaming, by her best friend back into the hopeless New York dating scene. As a romantic crossroads blossoms into a full-blown identity crisis, Ally juggles to keep these two very different men separate and to make sense of her own conflicting desires before she risks losing them both.” Casting for the two male leads is in process. The deal is just shy of the EFM record from 2022 when Sony paid around $60M for Tom Hanks pic A Man Called Otto, but Good Sex surpasses that when tax breaks are factored in.
