Throughout August, Netflix will be bringing back some classic titles to the platform, and there are also some new releases arriving too.
Netflix has currently been in the press for the wrong reasons, following the streaming platform losing almost a million subscribers in the last quarter. They’ll be hoping that the titles arriving over the next month help convince people to return to Netflix, and they are bringing out to stops to tempt potential customers.
Classic titles such as Constantine, Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece Eyes Wide Shut, and hilarious films such as Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and the original Space Jam will all be made available on the platform. Furthermore, they are also adding Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, and Sam Mendes’ Skyfall.
Other treats that Netflix plans to unload on viewers include a live-action adaption of a Neil Gaiman comic book series, the final season of Locke & Key, plenty of intriguing documentaries, and also a vampire movie featuring Jamie Foxx.
Speaking ahead of the launch of The Sandman, Neil Gaiman said to Total Film: “I didn’t have faith that we’d always get here, but I had faith that the important thing was to stop bad versions being made. Once a bad version is made, you never quite come back from that. It may sound silly, but when I was 14 or 15, my favorite comic was Howard The Duck.
“Steve Gerber, Gene Colan, Frank Brunner, satire, madness, glory… I was so excited when I heard George Lucas was making a movie. And then A New Breed Of Hero [the 1986 movie’s alt-title] came out. Howard The Duck became a bad joke. I never wanted that to happen to Sandman and I saw scripts that would have made that happen.”
