'Hit Man' Director Richard Linklater's New "Indie" Movie Sells to Netflix

Richard Linklater's commitment to indie filmmaking has to be commended. The director behind major hits like 2023's Hit Man, A Scanner Darkly, and School of Rock is one of the defining indie filmmakers, notable for directing Slacker, Dazed and Confused, and many, many more. His next project, Nouvelle Vague, takes him back to his low-budget roots. But, the film's "indie" label has been put into question, as the film was recently acquired by the biggest streaming platform around: Netflix.
