Scott Stuber quitte son poste de responsable du film chez Netflix – Deadline
Another Giant Taking Off From Netflix
Scott Stuber, chairman of Netflix film, has announced his departure in March to start his own media company. This transition has been in the works for some time, as rumors have been swirling that he had different views from those at Netflix, who prioritize the creation of premium movies for streaming. This is a significant change for the streaming company, as Stuber is credited with transforming Netflix’s film slate and has been instrumental in the success of many of their top movies.
In this article, we’ll take a closer look at Scott Stuber’s successful journey at Netflix, his upcoming departure, and its potential impact on the future of the streaming giant.
Contributions to Netflix
Since joining Netflix, Stuber has overseen the acquisition, development, or production of some of the streamer’s biggest movies, including “Red Notice”, “Bird Box”, “Hustle”, “Knives Out”, “The Adam Project”, “The Gray Man”, “The Power of the Dog”, “Don’t Look Up”, “The Irishman”, and “Marriage Story” among other projects.
His strong connections to the creative community allowed Netflix to collaborate with top filmmakers such as Alfonso Cuarón, Spike Lee, Greta Gerwig, Zack Snyder, Susanne Bier, Rian Johnson, Jane Campion, and Martin Scorsese. Under his leadership, Netflix became the most nominated studio at the Academy Awards for three consecutive years. However, despite being a front runner, they haven’t yet secured the Best Picture accolade.
Transition and Future Plans
Stuber will remain at Netflix temporarily to aid the transition, after which the responsibilities will be managed by Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria until a permanent replacement is found.
Having grown up at Universal and with a strong background in film production, it is anticipated that Stuber’s new media company will follow a traditional approach towards film distribution. With many top-grossing films under his belt, it is evident that he has both the experience and financial support to take on this new venture.
Acknowledgements and Future Collaboration
In a statement, Stuber expressed his gratitude for the opportunity given to him by Netflix and acknowledged the talent and filmmakers who trusted him to bring their stories to life. He also mentioned his excitement about the prospect of future collaboration with the Netflix team.
Both Ted Sarandos, Netflix co-CEO, and Bela Bajaria, Netflix Chief Content Officer, praised Stuber for his contributions, leadership, and friendship, expressing their eagerness to explore new opportunities to work together in the future. It’s clear that his impact on Netflix has left a lasting impression on its success in the film industry.
