Spike Lee’s time-travel drama ‘See You Yesterday’ comes to Netflix in May
[ad_1] While Spike Lee is a big name to have attached to the project, See You Yesterday is helmed almost entirely by newcomers.

Netflix might have more Beyoncé specials planned after ‘Homecoming’
[ad_1] A Vulture report says HBO was also interested in Homecoming, but backed down after Netflix offered Beyoncé a lot of money for a multi-project agreement.

Netflix’s next Mark Millar comic book is upbeat sci-fi ‘Space Bandits’

Netflix should certainly feel threatened by Disney+
[ad_1] Disney+ will be the biggest competition Netflix has seen since Amazon Prime. Disney’s strategy seems fairly simple, though: Catch Netflix in a pincer maneuver. Disney+ will hosts family-friendly and educational content parents will love, while Hulu, like Buena Vista and Miramax before it, will become Disney’s repository for material it doesn’t want its name […]
