            Though Hollywood might not fully approve yet, Netflix is making a killing. Every day on this site, I’m writing another story that has to do with the streaming service and today is no different. They’re continuing to acquire talent and projects with an indie darling is headed to Netflix with his next movie in tow. According to The Playlist, Noah Baumbach’s (The Squid and the Whale, Frances Ha) next film, The Meyerowitz Stories, formerly Yeh Din Da Kissa has been acquired by Netflix.

            The next effort from Baumbach has one of his starriest casts to date with Dustin Hoffman playing the aging father of two adult siblings fighting for the attention of his affection. Adam Sandler (a Netflix favorite), Emma Thompson and frequent collaborator, Ben Stiller also round out the cast for a movie that made my most-anticipated list earlier this year. No word yet on when the movie will be available to stream but I’m excited to see it for sure.

            Baumbach has nothing else on his slate in terms of directing but did write The Emperor’s Children which is in development and will star Jeff Bridges. As for the stars, Sandler’s next movie, Sandy Wexler premieres on Netflix this Friday; Stiller is in post-production for Brad’s Status directed by Mike White and co-stars Luke Wilson, Michael Sheen and The Office’s, Jenna Fischer.
