Writer-director Adam McKay (Don’t Look Up) is behind the upcoming serial killer film Average Height, Average Build starring Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Patterson, which will premiere on Netflix.

Netflix’s DVD Service Is Coming To An End

In 1997, Marc Randolph and Reed Hastings founded Netflix, which would forever change how we watched movies. At first, subscribers could just order rental DVDs from the comfort of their own homes. That was before Netflix turned into a streaming service, which led to the downfall of companies like Blockbuster. Over the past 25 years, Netflix has continued to dominate, but now they are phasing out its DVD service. “After an incredible 25-year run, we’ve decided to wind down DVD.com later this year. Our goal has always been to provide the best service for our members but as the business continues to shrink that’s going to become increasingly difficult.” Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said in a statement yesterday. “Those iconic red envelopes changed the way people watched shows and movies at home — and they paved the way for the shift to streaming.

Therefore, Netflix aims to stay one step ahead of the game by potentially bringing games to the fore via its platform. At present, Netflix remains one of the leading streaming services around where TV shows and movies are concerned, but gaming has always been muted as an option for platforms such as Netflix, and it’s a format that has been used in similar scenarios with live gaming and even popular bingo games have been adapted. But why is there a belief that this could this be a reality for Netflix? Well, it turns out that Netflix is currently believed to be working on a feature that will allow users of its service to use their smartphones as a controller. And, more specifically, as a game
