Scott Stuber Leaving Netflix Head Of Film Post
deadline.comScott Stuber is leaving Netflix. The chairman of Netflix film since 2017, he will be leaving in March to start his own media company.
This has been in the works for some time, and rumors were rampant he was at odds with the company and its prime focus of making premium movies to be consumed by streaming.
He grew up at Universal and as a producer, and had been indoctrinated into filmmaking with a traditional waterfall platform.
He’ll launch a company that will likely follow that format. Since joining Netflix, he’s transformed Netflix’s film slate — overseeing the acquisition, development or production of the streamer’s biggest movies: Red Notice (which remains Netflix’s most popular movie of all time); Bird Box; Hustle; Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery; Academy Award and BAFTA winner All Quiet on the Western Front; Academy Award winner Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio; The Adam Project; The Gray Man; Academy Award and BAFTA-winning The Power of the Dog; Don’t Look Up; Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman; Academy Award® winner Marriage Story; and Academy Award winner ROMA.
