Netflix’s Bid for Warner Bros Discovery Aims to Cut Streaming Costs and Reshape the Industry 
Netflix, a US-based, video-on-demand, over-the-top streaming service, hired the “Sherlock Holmes” franchise producer as its new global film chairman. Dan Lin has been tapped to replace Scott Stuber, who will step down next month.
As per The New York Times, Netflix confirmed on Wednesday, Feb. 28, that it will appoint Dan Lin, who was also behind the production of the company’s live-actor remake of “Avatar: The Last Airbender.” He will now take over and lead the streaming giant’s film unit.
Lin’s Extensive Background in Film Industry
The 50-year-old producer has a long career in the film business. He once worked for Warner Bros. as senior vice president of production. He is also the CEO of Riderback Productions, which he founded in 2007.
As a producer, he produced “The Two Popes” for Netflix, so he already had links to the company before his appointment. He was also behind the “Lego” movie “It.” Lin is of Taiwanese descent and impressively made a name for himself in the entertainment industry.
New Film Chief at Netflix
Bloomberg mentioned that once Dan Lin assumed his role as film chairman, he would directly report to Bela Bajaria, the company’s chief content officer. She was only appointed last month after a major management shake-up at Netflix.
“While I have been approached many times during my past 15 years at Rideback, I could truly never imagine leaving until Bela reached out with this incredible opportunity,” The Hollywood Reporter quoted Lin in a statement after his Netflix appointment. “Bela’s vision for the Netflix film division immediately interested me as it aligned so strongly with my own personal and professional values and what we have been building at Rideback.”
He added, “There is such a strong foundation that’s already been established in the film division at Netflix, one I am excited to take to the next level as we continue growing this creative community to make Netflix the number one home for filmmakers.”
