Creating and releasing movies on that scale is just another day for Netflix. Their latest expensive offering is 'The School for Good and Evil.'
Paul Feig directs the film, which revolves around two teenage girls who enroll in a magic school with two conflicting spirits (good and evil).

The Irishman was the only masterpiece in which Martin Scorsese was the director, and the movie was based on gangsters.
