Hulk Hogan’s war with Gawker is coming to Netflix
For those eager to curl up with a probing documentary about the limits of a free press in the online media age that also happens to feature Hulk Hogan’s penis, you’ll soon be able to, thanks to Netflix. The streaming giant—who’s currently on a buying spree at Sundance—has picked up the rights to Nobody Speak: Hulk Hogan, Gawker And Trials Of A Free Press, director Brian Knappenberger’s look at the lawsuit filed by the famed wrestler against Gawker.com, after the website published an excerpt from a video that showed him having sex with a friend’s wife. In the end, Hogan was awarded $140 million and Gawker was shut down. Meanwhile, the world became embroiled in debate over where the line is drawn between ”newsworthy” celebrity gossip and pure invasion of privacy, as well as the philosophical difference between Hulk Hogan, the public figure, and Terry Bollea, the man, and their respective dicks.
