\nNetflix bought a sci-fi series from director Carl Rinsch in 2018 and spent $55M developing it<\/p>\n
Not a single episode has been finished<\/p>\n
Instead, the director has reportedly spent $11M of Netflix\u2019s money gambling on risky stocks and buying dogecoin, which he flipped for $27M\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/j69bokbxU0<\/a><\/p>\n

Do they keep raising prices to recoup the cost of this lmao.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
- Carl Rinsch has only directed one movie – 2013’s Keanu Reeves movie, 47 Ronin<\/i>, which I remember enjoying – before he was pulled from it in post-prod because it went overbudget<\/a><\/li>\n
<\/p>\n
- Netflix gave him 50$m bc ‘potential’.<\/li>\n
<\/p>\n
- He spent 11$m on crypto, and did get a ROI of 27$m, but financed the rest with his money (Well I guess his payout?) and bought cars and furniture.<\/li>\n
<\/p>\n
- He allegedly filmed for 24 hours straight in Kenya, using non-unioned European actors.<\/li>\n
<\/p>\n
- Several episodes have allegedly been shot since 2019, but Netflix has not seen them, so to them, they’re just not shot.<\/li>\n
<\/p>\n
- Like if they don’t see it, how would they know?<\/li>\n
