It seems that Netflix will finance the movies and not interfere in the creative process. I recall Kevin Spacey saying that their main decision in working with Netflix on House of Cards was the ability to have complete creative freedom in the production and execution of the show (while other networks were interested in the project).<p>Netflix is also talking a lot about international expansion, but Sandler’s humor is IMO appealing primarily to the US audience. As a European I find myself surprised by the amount of laughter Adam Sandler’s movies receive in U.S. theatres.
