Emily Blunt starrer Pain Hustlers is the first project sold at Cannes this year, and Netflix is the one that has acquired it.

Netflix Cashes in 50 Million Dollars to Become First Big Spender at the Cannes Film Festival, Bags Emily Blunt Package ‘Pain Hustlers’

The biggest festival of cinema is underway in France, as the biggest names of
the world gather at the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France. Every year, a
plethora of movies are bought and sold at the festival, which then determines
the success of the project. However, this time around, the festival had been a
little calm when it comes to spending. But it all changes when Netflix bagged a
project worth 50 million dollars, featuring Emily Blunt. Thus, the spending has
begun at Cannes 2022.

Here is everything you need to know about the very first purchase of this year’s
festival, Pain Hustlers.


NETFLIX LANDS THE FIRST DEAL AT THE CANNES FILM FESTIVAL 2022, INVOLVING EMILY
BLUNT MOVIE

Netflix has opened up its dealings at the Cannes Film Festival as it landed the
first project of the festival
[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/netflix-emily-blunt-pain-hustlers-50-million-1235151874/].
The streaming giant has acquired the worldwide rights to Emily Blunt
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/emily-blunt] package Pain Hustlers. The project is
said to be worth over 50 million dollars and will be directed by David Yates.
For a project that is said to be Wolf of Wall Street and The Big Short-esque, it
won’t be an overstatement if we say that expectations for this movie will be
sky-high. Not to mention, the talent that Emily Blunt herself brings to the
table.

As per the film’s log-line Blunt will play “a high-school dropout, [who] lands a
job with a failing pharmaceutical start-up in a yellowing strip mall in Central
Florida. Liza’s charm, guts, and drive catapult the company and her into the
high life, where she soon finds herself at the center of a criminal conspiracy
with deadly consequences.”

Wells Tower will handle the screenplay of the film. Meanwhile, Lawrence Grey’s
Grey Matter Productions, along with Yates and Yvonne Walcott’s Wychwood
Pictures, will function as producers. The filming for the film will begin later
this year in August.

This multi-million dollar deal comes after a time when Netflix witnessed one of
the biggest losses

in subscribers and also laid-off employees

The streamer will certainly hope to earn a lot from this project.

something like Wolf of Wall Street?
