Sam Levinson’s film ‘Malcolm & Marie’ shot during the lockdown has been acquired by Netflix. The film was picked from the Toronto International Film Festival at a price of $30 million just based on a two minute promo. Now that sounds impressive, isn’t it?
As per Netflix, Malcolm & Marie is “an achingly romantic drama in which a filmmaker (Washington) and his girlfriend (Zendaya) return home following a celebratory movie premiere as he awaits what’s sure to be imminent critical and financial success. The evening suddenly takes a turn as revelations about their relationships begin to surface, testing the strength of their love.”
‘Malcolm & Marie’ is a black and white film shot between June 17-July 2 which features Euphoria star Zendaya and Tenet fame John David Washington. It’s a “witty, lush, romantic drama” that has been shot on 35mm and Fotokem played a critical part in the production process.
Sam Levinson has not only directed the film but also written and produced it alongside Kevin Turen and Ashley Levinson of Little Lamb Productions. While both Zendaya and Washington act as executive producers in addition to Yariv Milchan, Michael Schaefer, Will Greenfield, Aaron L. Gilbert and Scott Mescudi (aka Kid Cudi).
Malcolm & Marie was shot during lockdown in consultation with doctors and lawyers keeping in mind all the protocols. A portion of the proceeds from the film’s sale will be shared with ‘FEEDING AMERICA’.
