The character was played by Matt Damon in the past, but this time he will be played by British actor Andrew Scott, while this time we are waiting for a stylish crime film exclusively in black and white format for an even greater cinephile experience.
Dead young detectives (25th of April)
Do you like young adult stories and enjoy magical realism, or do you read, for example, Neil Gaiman’s novels? Then you will certainly be interested in the mysterious detective novel from Netflix, in which two… ghosts take on the role of central investigators of paranormal cases. It sounds a little crazy, but the series is an adaptation of a popular comic series, so the creators have something to build on.
