When asked during a legal deposition about the cars, clothes, watches and furniture, Rinsch claimed that they were props purchased for the set of “Conquest” and that he’d paid for them directly with the production money from Netflix. He changed his tune in a later arbitration case with Netflix, where he claimed that not only was the money contractually his to do with what he pleased, but Netflix owed him more than $14 million in unpaid invoices.
the absolute gall lmao
Thanks for screwing it up for future directors. Bet Netflix won’t take that gamble again.
Rinsch was known in Hollywood for missing deadlines and going rogue.
Do you really want Netflix making gambles like that? With so little oversight they were practically begging to be defrauded.
No, seriously, that’s hilarious, but it makes me wish that Amazon was the one that got the rights and not Netflix. Guess Netflix wanted their own Citizen Kane nobody-to-Oscar-winner story.
I look forward to the subscription cost increasing to pay for stupid decisions.
