Billy Crudup and Laura Dern are among the star names signing on for Noah Baumbach’s latest Netflix film.
Baumbach’s first film with Netflix was The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) starring Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller and Emma Thompson, which premiered to rave reviews at Cannes in 2017. He followed that with Marriage Story, starring Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson and Laura Dern, which garnered six Academy Award nominations, including two for Baumbach and a win for Dern.
Then he inked an exclusive deal with Netflix that began with White Noise, an adaptation of Don DeLillo’s seminal novel of the same name. Now, fresh from co-writing Barbie with Greta Gerwig, he’s assembling an impressive ensemble for his next project, reuniting with both Dern and Sandier. Billy Crudup (The Morning Show, Almost Famous), Riley Keough (Daisy Jones & The Six) and George Clooney will also star.
The movie will be a funny and emotional coming-of-age film about adults. It is co-written by Crudup and Emily Mortimer. Baumbach will produce alongside Amy Pascal and David Heyman.
