- Netflix preemptively acquired the spec "Canopy," a horror-thriller creature feature written by Brandon Feldman, with reps for the streamer declining to comment on the deal
- The acquisition was a six-figure deal, with talent agency Verve running the auction for the project
- The "Canopy" spec is being compared to creature-feature survival films including Apex, Predator, and The Shallows
Why it matters: The six-figure preempt pickup signals Netflix's continued appetite for elevated genre material in the creature-feature lane, with Verve extracting a competitive auction outcome for the Feldman spec rather than letting it go through a traditional sale process.
