Julia Roberts, Denzel Washington to Star in Netflix Thriller 'Leave The World Behind'


Netflix has a come out on top of a hot bidding war that will see Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington reunite for the first time since 1993’s The Pelican Brief.

The streaming giant has landed Leave the World Behind, an upcoming novel by Rumaan Alam, with Sam Esmail, the creator of Mr. Robot and Homecoming, set to write the adaptation and direct it. Roberts and Washington are attached to star.

The novel will be published this fall by HarperCollins imprint Ecco. It follows a husband and wife as they head out to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a vacation with their teenage son and daughter. When the owners of the rental return in a panic one night after they say a sudden blackout has swept through the city, the couple aren't sure what to believe. With the TV and internet down and no cell service, the two families are forced into a tense living situation. Themes dealing with race, class, and parenthood are tackled.

Esmail had a strong relationship with Roberts after working together on series Homecoming. And Roberts, once piqued, sent the book to Washington.

Several major studio and streamers put in bids for the package, with it coming down to Netflix, Apple and MGM, each of which have spent the past several weeks vying for splashy packages, including Will Smith starrer Emancipation and George Miller's latest Three Thousand Years of Longing.

Netflix ultimately prevailed for Leave The World Behind, with sources saying that the deal is approaching the financial numbers in the range similar to Apple’s deal for Emancipation, which was over $100 million.

Julia finally gets her and Washington as a couple.

For real though I hope they won't ruin this because that sounds like a VERY intriguing concept.

Looks like they will be playing opposite of one another...

"Roberts will play the mother of the family that rents the house. Washington will play the homeowner."

I just saw this tweet from a NPR host: https://twitter.com/lindaholmes/status/1287379715800604673

I didn't realize so many people felt some type of way about the fact that Denzel & Julia Roberts characters didn't get together in "The Pelican Brief". I thought it was just this forum, LOL.

This tweet explains the brainwashing behind his decision that during the 90's and even some times now some black men and white women actually thinks make sense. Smh.

It isn´t kinda toxic Denzel having to say "no" to kiss a white woman cause he knew it would bother black women? Or maybe he said this cause Hollywood it wouldn´t allow him doing that, sometimes hollywood allows kiss, but mostly, they try stopping it, or maybe both reasons. I´m reading the tweets and brainwashing is amazing. I mean, why an interracial kiss would bother anyone sane and smart? black men kissing white women it kills kittens around the world, cause wars or anything? it sounds childish and even insane.

Over the years I have discussed this specific topic on these boars numerous times. In short this is not as cut and dry as people are making it out to be; Washington has made various excuses for why he balked at doing stuff like this.
 
BBC aired TV movie Anthony. The film is inspired by the life of Anthony Walker who was murdered in Liverpool back in 2005, Walker was chased down by racists and stabbed in the head with a ice axe. The killers were the estrange brother and cousin of pro-soccer player Joey Barton so the story got a lot of news coverage at the time.
