Ana Lily Amirpour’s “The Bad Batch” Acquired By Netflix Out of Venice

Ana Lily Amirpour’s “The Bad Batch” has been acquired by Netflix out of the Venice Film Festival, The Hollywood Reporter writes. The deal is for SVOD rights.

Amirpour’s second feature after the much-praised “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night,” “The Bad Batch” has been described as a dystopian cannibal love story.

“Suki Waterhouse stars as Arlen,” THR writes, “a young girl exiled from America and left to fend for herself as a member of the ‘bad batch.’ On one side of the batch, Jason Momoa leads a cannibal community of bodybuilders called the Bridge, and on the other side is Comfort, led by a cult leader (Keanu Reeves) offering drugs, raves and security. Jim Carrey plays a mute vagabond who saves the day on more than one occasion.”

“The Bad Batch” is now on its way to the Toronto International Film Festival, where theatrical distribution rights are still up for grabs.
