Netflix has big plans for its film division in 2021, releasing a sizzle reel on Tuesday for the coming year with plans to release films every week. Among the offerings: the directorial debuts of Halle Berry and Lin-Manuel Miranda, a Black Western featuring Regina King, and a spy thriller featuring Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot, and Ryan Reynolds.
Berry’s first go-around in the director’s chair will be seen in “Bruised,” which also stars the Oscar winner as a former MMA fighter taking on a different kind of fight: regaining custody of her son and restarting her career. Miranda, meanwhile, will bring his experience as a young playwright to “tick, tick…BOOM!”, which tells the story of an aspiring theater composer in New York caught between his dream and the harsh realities of life.
