Netflix cancels Adam McKay’s serial killer comedy so he can make something about climate chage
The other movie was going to be about Robert Pattinson campaigning to legalize serial killers
Earlier this year, Netflix picked up Average Height, Average Built, a black comedy from Adam McKay about a serial killer (played by Robert Pattinson) who teams up with a government lobbyist (Amy Adams) to try and legalize serial-killing, leading to him becoming a political folk hero in what we called at the time “a commentary on… you know, political corruption and dark money and the gullibility of the American public.” However, despite having a huge cast lined up (Robert Downey Jr. was also attached), McKay has decided not to make Average Height, Average Build, leading to the whole thing being canceled by Netflix—presumably because, as exhausting as a modern day Adam McKay movie can be, the whole concept would be simply unbearable with anyone else behind the camera.
