What Scott Stuber’s Exit Means for Netflix’s Film Future


How Scott Stuber's sudden departure will affect Netflix's film future.

This will likely spark a flurry of people who are burnishing their resumes, including former Warner Bros. chairman Toby Emmerich, Paramount’s prior motion picture group president Emma Watts and executive-turned-producer Dan Lin. Studio leadership has been increasingly geriatric, and Stuber had a foot in each world — a tested movie producer who could work at multiple budget levels and someone who looks like what a casting director would dream up for the role of “Hollywood executive.” Meanwhile, director Gina Prince-Bythewood’s “The Old Guard 2,” starring Charlize Theron (which is in post-production), and Greta Gerwig’s new take on “The Chronicles of Narnia” (which doesn’t have a script yet) aren’t expected to be dramatically affected by the shakeup and are in different phases of development.
