Barack Obama Is Producing A Netflix Movie Starring Julia Roberts, Check Out The Notes He Gave To The Director
Since President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama left the White House in 2017, the couple have gotten into business in Hollywood by producing a number of projects in recent years. The couple’s next executive producing effort is Leave The World Behind. The movie coming out this December stars Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke and Mahershala Ali, and is helmed by Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail. The director recently spoke about notes Obama gave during production, and the former U.S. president’s perspective on the movie’s topic sounds riveting.
Leave The World Behind is among the many upcoming book adaptations to look forward to this fall. Based on Rumaan Alam’s novel of the same name, it’s a psychological thriller about two families that are strangers to one another that become entangled in an apocalyptic event in the same luxurious home. While speaking to Vanity Fair, Sam Esmail recalled the notes he received from President Barack Obama.

Obama was such a fan of Alam’s 2020 novel that he placed the book on one of his famed summer reading lists prior to becoming the producer on the film adaptation. While Obama didn’t deal with the kind of state of emergency that occurs in the book, he certainly has a lengthy resume on crisis management and brought that to the producing effort through his and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground Productions company. Esmail continued with these words:
Hollywood director stunned after getting advice from Obama on directing new film: 'Scared the f--- out of me'

And like that, I go from “potentially interested” to “nope”.
Oscar winning cast, best seller, apocalyptic thriller? Yes. Obama? Aight, I’m outta here.

Obama and Big Mike own a movie production company.
Obama trolls us as his Iranian Spy ring he hired a dork to be his bagman running it: couldn't pass a security clearance. So Obama overrode him in.

Two problems, well several actually but:
NETFLIX - don't have and not interested in acquiring
Obama - not interested
However, I can almost guess the plot and white people are the problem...

I saw a brief synopsis and it is a white couple and a black couple. Obama tends not not have any humor in his racism.
Which Obama lackey went to Netflix first? Rice? I remember I cancelled my subscription way back when.

Big Mike was seen on a yacht w/o Barack. Rumors are that they won't divorce but have separate bedrooms/houses now.
It seems that when their Chef died the Big Mike w/o Barack stories came out.

That’s been a political marriage for years like Bill and Hill.
They may have made a big show of “date night” in NYC but it was always Obama with Reggie Love et all and Big Mike with momma and others.

Really not interested, but am I the only one not seeing actual notes about what Odummy had about Julia?

Agreed on the Obama's. But the average Karen thinks they are the black jesus and stunning caring wife.
BTW: The movie/book has the white couple (middle class) doubting the black couple owns the home they are renting.
It has Tyler Perry like nuanced race-baiting in it.

Plot summary
Amanda and Clay drive out to a remote luxury Airbnb on Long Island for a vacation, along with their kids Archie, 15, and Rose, 13. They are a middle-to-upper-middle class family who live in Brooklyn. It's an idyllic and peaceful vacation until an older Black couple shows up at night, identifying themselves as the house's owners, G.H. (or George) and Ruth. They explain that there's been a blackout.
Amanda is initially suspicious of them and is surprised that they could own a home such as this one. But it turns out George and Ruth are a wealthy and highly educated couple. Their main home is in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, but they drove back to their vacation home to wait out the blackout. It's arranged that they will stay in the in-law unit in the basement until things get sorted. At the house, the wi-fi is out, along with the landline, TV and cell service. But they have power. Amanda also catches a news alert on her phone confirming a large-scale blackout across the east coast.
The next morning, Rose notices a herd of a few dozen deer outside (what she doesn't see is that there are actually thousands of them). Clay heads to town to assess the situation, but gets lost. He runs into a scared woman, but she only speaks Spanish and so he leaves her. Meanwhile, Rose and Archie go exploring in the woods. They find a shack and a house in a clearing, and Archie gets bitten by a tick. Then, a thunderous noise is heard, loud enough to crack the glass on some doors, which scares everyone. (Unknown to them, not too far away, the deer are scared and trampling everything in their wake.) Clay eventually finds his way home, but doesn't mention getting lost or the woman.
The adults try to prepare for an extended blackout, filling a tub with water in case the water stops running and checking on the food stores. But soon, Archie is sick with a fever. Amanda and Clay decide they need to leave to get him to a doctor the next morning. That night, a flock of wild flamingos appear on the lawn. Then, a few more loud noises sound out, breaking more glass and scaring them all. Amanda starts to think it would be better to stay here, where they have power, food and water, but in the morning a number of Archie's teeth have fallen out. They all also notice that Rose is missing.
Alarmed, Clay and George plan to drive immediately to a nearby hospital with Archie. Amanda will stay behind with Ruth to look for Rose. On the way, Clay finally admits to getting lost the day before, and he says that he did see a woman, but left her despite knowing she needed help.
George decides to make a stop to talk to Danny, his contractor, who he thinks can help them. However, Danny views George as merely someone he's done some work for in the past (as opposed to a friend) and greets them stiffly. He tells them what he knows, he says that there's a mass migration of deer going on which is a bad sign, and he advises that they go home and hunker down. George, Archie and Clay decide to just head back to the house.
Elsewhere, states of emergency have been declared, and the U.S. President is stowed away in a bunker. The world is falling apart. Levees have broken, resulting in floods. Some people worry about food. In the woods, Rose has made her way to the house she'd located the day before. The occupants are not home (they are stuck in San Diego and will never see their home again). She makes note of the useful things, grabs various supplies and heads back to inform the others of her findings.

This is just a payola scam, like the book deals.
Anyone can be a "producer" of a movie. It's a just a way to pay him for favors.

This is sort of like the $100million+ version of Hunter "selling" paintings.

I bet he’s getting paid his standard rate of $50 million, a “portion” of which to be funded by “private donors.”

I won't be watching any more Julia Roberts' movies along with Robert Dinaro and all the other Hollywood anti -Trumpers
