Jason Bateman to Direct Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell in Netflix Movie
Jason Bateman directs a crime thriller about a farmer covering up a corpse, starring Oscar winners Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson, announced at Netflix's slate event.
- At its Next on Netflix presentation, Netflix announced Jason Bateman will direct a new crime thriller starring Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson.
- Bateman will produce the project via his Aggregate banner alongside Michael Costigan and has explored darker material on television including Black Rabbit and Ozark.
- Written by novelist Rye Curtis, the screenplay centers on small-town farmer George discovering a corpse that triggers a 'chaotic, sloppy cover-up' ordered by his boss Denny; Netflix said the film 'definitely isn't about birds' and called it wild.
- The casting reunites Sam Rockwell, actor and Oscar winner, and Woody Harrelson, actor and Oscar-nominated performer, while Bateman's Emmy-winning directing credentials add to the project’s pedigree.
- The project marks Bateman's third feature as he balances a significant television career, and the announcement adds an original, off‑beat feature to Netflix's upcoming movie slate.
