Netflix has acquired the worldwide rights to Sam Levinson’s witty, lush, romantic drama MALCOM & MARIE starring Zendaya and John David Washington.

Sam Levinson teams up with Zendaya and John David Washington for an achingly romantic drama in which a filmmaker  (Washington) and his girlfriend (Zendaya) return home following a celebratory movie premiere as he awaits what’s sure to be an imminent critical and financial success.  The evening suddenly takes a turn as revelations about their relationships begin to surface, testing the strength of their love.  Working with cinematographer Marcell Rev, Levinson creates a film of rare originality; an ode to the great Hollywood romances as well as a heartfelt expression of faith in the medium’s future.

The cast and crew of MALCOLM & Marie will share a portion of the proceeds of this sale with FEEDING AMERICA.

A premiere date is still not set.
