Coming to sci-fi thrillers, a genre loved by a lot of Netflix subscribers, Jung E is a post-apocalyptic setting in Korea wherein director Yeon Sang-ho tries to show how an AI researcher attempts to stop a civil war by cloning the brain of one of the best soldiers he knew, his mother.
Making rom-coms a thing again, Netflix has announced that You People is coming to the platform in January 2023. And, what a star cast – from Eddie Murphy to Jonah Hill and Julia Louis-Dreyfus – the streaming giant has left no stones unturned to showcase the story of a new couple and how their families deal with a new kind of modern love.
Pamela, A Love Story is a much-anticipated documentary on how Baywatch superstar Pamela Anderson dealt with her leaked sex tape and its aftermath. While the story has revolved around in media for the last 27 years, since the tape came out, this is the first time Pamela herself is coming out to set the record straight on the events that took place. An interesting watch for those interested in celebrity lives.
From American to Australian originals on the platform, Netflix’s True Spirit is inspired by the true story of teenager Jessica Watson who sailed around the globe unassisted, to cover more than 35,000km in a span of 7 months. 14 years after her journey, the story comes to the silver screen, thanks to director Sarah Spillane.
Coming back to documentaries, the Netflix original slate for 2023 also includes one on Bill Russell, termed one of the best basketball players of all time. The documentary is expected to take a deep dive into the career and personal life of one of the best centres of all time. Unfortunately, Bill Russell passed away in July 2022, months before the release of his much-awaited documentary on Netflix.
Making its way to the Netflix schedule for February 2023 is Your Place or Mine, a quintessential rom-com with legends Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher in leading roles. It is a fun story of two best friends who want different things in life. It is only after they swap lives that they realise what they always wanted isn’t what they needed. A tub-of-popcorn-at-night kind of watch, really.
David Harbour is back in this exciting upcoming Netflix movie, which revolves around the hunt for a ghost named Ernest who haunts the home of a family that just moved in.
