"True Detective" helmer Cary Fukunaga has been busy in recent months, prepping to bring Stephen King's horror classic "It" to the big screen. Now, his latest directorial effort may be getting a high-profile deal from Netflix.
According to Deadline, Fukunaga is close to signing a contract with the streaming service that would net him some $12 million in exchange for global distribution rights to "Beasts of No Nation." The flick, based on the 2005 novel of the same name by Uzodinma Iweala, tells the story of a child soldier fighting a civil war in an African nation and stars Idris Elba as a warlord who takes the boy in.
But while Netflix is eager to nab the rights to the flick, its ambitions don't stop at streaming. Deadline reports that "Beasts" "will have a theatrical component as well and a vigorous push in Oscar season."
Fukunaga and Elba also produced the film. No word yet on when it may get a release.
