Netflix Bets Up to $600 Million on Affleck’s AI Film Studio

Netflix is reportedly prepared to pay as much as $600 million to acquire Ben Affleck’s stealth AI filmmaking startup InterPositive. The deal would bring the 16‑person team to Netflix, with Affleck serving as a senior adviser. Netflix plans to offer InterPositive’s AI tooling to its creative partners, though it doesn’t plan to sell the tech commercially. The upfront price was said to be lower than the maximum payout, with earnouts tied to performance targets that could reach $600 million; the move follows Netflix’s decision to walk away from a bid for Warner Bros. Discovery assets.
