- Thread starter rage

wow, that guy thought those movies were "authentic"? LOL shows how much gets lost in translation over time. Thos movies are essential to see but not because they're actually GOOD lol. Just because the real guys were in it, but sometimes actors can play someone better than themselves lol. MOST times actually

Netflix’s ‘The Get Down’ Costs Have Gone Up, To About $16M Per Episode
http://deadline.com/2016/10/the-get-down-costs-rise-netlfix-baz-luhrmann-1201837874/
EXCLUSIVE: The Get Down was expected to be an expensive proposition from the get-go and Netflix knew it. The series from Academy Award-winning husband-wife team of Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin, Pulitzer-winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis, hip-hop historian Nelson George and iconic rappers MC Nas and Grandmaster Flash was expected to cost around $11 million per episode for 12 episodes, which all-in would have totaled about $120M.
However, Deadline has learned that given the way the deal is constructed, Netflix is paying more like $16M per episode — inclusive in the total is worldwide rights to the IP, and factored into that are the premiums that Netflix paid to acquire those rights exclusively.
Other costs include start-up, visual effects, music rights and production design. Of the $16 million, around $11 million was the final production expenses per episode, $3 million-$4 million over the initial budget following a string of filming shutdowns, staffing changes and script rewrites. When a TV drama is produced for $6M or higher an episode, it is considered expensive.
So adding in all the costs on The Get Down, including the worldwide rights and premiums, that brings the total for the 12-episode season closer to the $190M-plus range. They are not completely wrapped yet either.
The Get Down is not a runaway hit the way Netflix’s pop culture phenom Stranger Things has been. Stranger Things ranks No. 3 on Symphony Advanced Media’s chart for viewings among 18- to 49-year-olds; The Get Down is No. 14.
However, Netflix’s strategy for many of its original series is to target specific, often under-served segments of the audience as a way of expanding its subscriber base. The Get Down is said to be the No. 1 show among African Americans and Hispanics and is building out among the young demographic as well — it has caught on with high schoolers. The Get Down is drawing in demos that other Netflix shows normally don’t, said one insider.
Internally, Netflix viewer satisfaction surveys for U.S. viewers that Deadline obtained reveal that The Get Down scored well among hip-hop fans and just slightly better with men than women. Overall, it got a 66% excellent or good rating, with concerns about the slow pacing at the onset but viewers saying that it picked up as the show progressed. The other satisfaction surveys on the show are said to be way above the norm in other countries, specifically France, Germany and Latin America.
In Netflix’s quarterly earnings call Monday, the company’s chief content officer Ted Sarandos said that their new season of content (which includes The Get Down) was traveling globally proportionally as they had hoped.
In responding to a question during the call about The Get Down and its expense versus viewership, Sarandos said, “Yes, it’s an expensive piece of television. Mostly because it’s very large scale, cinematic. The reason why Baz Luhrmann’s films work around the world is that kind of attractiveness. We’re still seeing how it’s going to unfold for the first season. All the shows land at a different level of noise in the press and probably depending on what circles you run in, whether or not your friends are talking about it. We’re very excited about how the show has been performing, particularly in a quarter where we had four shows that turned out to be kind of big event programs for us.”
The first six episodes of The Get Down‘s first season were released in August, with the remaining six set to debut in 2017. Netflix had no comment for this report.

man I'd be surprised if they finish filming the rest
I really hope this show doesn't get canceled, I'm not familiar with Baz's other works but I'm enjoying this but if other people have to be brought into get him under come kind of control I welcome it if it will allow this show to continue.
There's a couple of things I want see going forward. As it stands, it's the summer of 1977. I want see what happens to Books and the Get Down Bros and Shao as the 70s turn into the 80s. I want to see what happens to Books that puts him on top of the rap world by 1996.
Mylene has her contract, she's a disco singer but it's 1977, disco would be all but dead by 1979-80, so what happens to Mylene? The 1996 version of Books seems to look back at his memories of her with strong emotion.
Also it's late 70s NYC, which from what I've heard and read about from Black, White and Hispanic New Yorkers was violent as hell. I'm touching on something that 34Real mentioned in post #103. I wonder if they'll be upping the violence.

MINOR SPOILER ALERT
http://www.breathecast.com/articles...ow-gets-2017-release-feature-1980s-era-36103/
New details on the release date and spoilers on "The Get Down" season 2 have surfaced. As per reports, the Netflix show is set to air next year.
Fans are set to see "The Get Down" season 2 in 2017, as per Christian Post. According to the publication, fans may assume a more "glorious" second season, as it is set to feature a time jump to the 1980s; it is the time when Prince and Michael Jackson rose while the disco fell.
It is added that the show's second season is set to bring more characters, in addition to Jaden Smith, Herizen Guardiola, and Justice Smith.
Meanwhile, "The Get Down" director Baz Luhrmann debunked rumors that the high-budget show is getting canceled. In his interview with New York Daily News, he said that the rumors were funny, because he was shooting season two that day.
"We're shooting it now," Luhrmann told the publication at the Clio Awards on the Upper West Side.
Lurhmann also said that the internet was a funny thing, as he could tell fans that the rumors were absolute rubbish. He added that the show was going extraordinarily well, with a giant fan base and a grand following.
"There's something going on in that they really don't know the numbers for Netflix, and they try and make them up," Lurhmann said.
In fact, the show is looking for black and Latino men and women ages 18 to 21 years old, as per The Get Down Casting. In addition, the website displays information on recruiting hip-hop dancers coming from any gender and age.
Overall, "The Get Down" season 2 is expected to air in 2017.
So they plan on jumping to the 1980s?
I wonder how far into the 80s are they gonna jump to, personally I was hoping they stay in the 70s and we see how Mylene deals with disco's decline as the 70s wind down.
What do you guys think?
period piece always is
goin back in time with the cars set pieces locations wardrobe etc
for example when they were making Ray they had to ask Denzel for some of his footage from Devil in a Blue Dress to keep costs down
not really - there was a shit ton of stock photography used
and where they shot many street scenes - and subways thats mostly the way those places look now
they weren't doing this

You know how much it cost to keep suede pumas fresh and new for that long.

Deuce looks good, I'll be on the look out for that..
The Breaks is interesting, I know it's different from The Get Down but I think for the younger Millennials and Generation Z's it's great that they get two programs that show Hip Hop at it's birth (The Get Down) and it's transitional period (The Breaks). I hope these shows can have a lasting and positive impact on the rappers that are coming up.
Word..i kept hearing about "the breaks" but hearing the title always reminds me of that stupid straight to DVD movie with some white boy back in the 90's
I had no idea it was about the golden age..i definitely gotta check it out
