We believe we would have been strong stewards of Warner Bros.' iconic brands. But this transaction was always a 'nice to have' at the right price, not a 'must have' at any price. Netflix's co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters explained their decision to withdraw, emphasizing that while they valued the opportunity, the financial terms no longer justified proceeding with the acquisition.
Mr. Darcy is its stern romantic lead. He has a massive income from his estate - 10,000 pounds a year - and, according to the novel's witty protagonist, Elizabeth Bennet, just as large of a stick up his ass.

In a big studio-backed awards season, it's rare to see much overlap between the Film Independent Spirit Awards and the Oscars. A west coast cousin of sorts to the Gotham Awards, the Indie Spirits often celebrate the movies that the Academy skipped over with its nominations.
