The Afterlife is Real in New Netflix Film "The Discovery" ⋆

It’s no secret that Netflix has been rolling out some of the best original entertainment in the last few years in addition to the content they license from movie and TV studios. Their original TV shows and films are compelling and interesting more often than not, and they seem to take risks and invest in up and coming talent with new ideas to bring to the table.

One of the latest things that Netflix has announced is The Discovery, a movie that stars Robert Redford, Rooney Mara, Jason Segel, Riley Keough and Jesse Plemons. The film is directed by Charlie McDowell and was also written by him along with Justin Lader.

The synopsis for the film is this: The Discovery is a love story set in a world where the afterlife has been scientifically proven, and as a result millions of people start taking their own lives to “get there.”

The Discovery will be available on Netflix on March 31, 2017. Watch the trailer for the film below:
