Ben Affleck promotes his production company and calls Netflix out in front of its co-founder. Read more about his project with Jason Bateman.

Ben Affleck Slaps Netflix, Promises Quality Debut With Jason Bateman From His Studio on Nike Air Jordan

Looks like Ben Affleck still has some parts of his Gone Girl character, Nick
Dunne, living inside of him given how he bashed Netflix in front of its CEO, all
with a smile on his face while promoting his own production. For those who are
living under a cave, the New York Times DealBook Summit that gave MET Gala a run
for its money took place on the 30th of November. The Summit was basically the
MET Gala for geniuses in business and had the CEO of almost every big company
from Amazon to Netflix on its guest list.



Ben Affleck, who has recently transitioned from his Golden Globe and
BAFTA-winning acting career into setting up a production company with his Good
Will Hunting co-star, Matt Damon, was also there. The Gone Girl actor had some
valuable insight to share about where he thinks the Hollywood industry is
headed.


BEN AFFLECK CALLS OUT NETFLIX’S CO-CEO REED HASTINGS

The BAFTA award-winning actor was invited to speak about Recasting the Creator’s
Role in Entertainment. And if you have been paying attention, then you may have
noticed that Netflix, with its many releases, is one of the most prominent
entertainment creators right now. Therefore, it does not come as a shock that
the Batman [https://www.netflix.com/in/title/80081793] actor who recently became
the CEO of a production company named Artists Equity did not bat an eye before
calling out the streaming giant.



If you take a look at Ben Affleck’s filmography, you may have noticed that the
actor has almost never done a mindless commercial film. He believes that
filmmaking “is a thing that requires attention and dedication and work, and it
resists the sort of assembly line process.” The actor further said, “If you ask
Reed Hastings (co-CEO and Chairman of Netflix).. he’d say, ‘Hey, we went for
quantity to establish a footprint,”.

Now blame his prominent jawline or strong-willed attitude, but the actor simply
could not mince his words. Additionally, Affleck strongly believes that it is
impossible to keep churning out five masterpieces at a time. And he alongside
Matt Damon will make sure that Hollywood still has good movies that people come
back to after years. The all-rounder has chosen to make a series on the
blockbuster deal between Michael Jordan and Nike. It already has talents like
Jason Bateman and Viola Davis under the belt.

Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
