Netflix’s star-studded serial killer comedy shelved after writer-director Adam McKay leaves project

Adam McKay.

Adam McKay's star-studded serial killer comedy Average Height, Average Build that was set to debut on Netflix is no more. The Succession creator's film had already announced its casting, which was seriously stellar and included Robert Pattinson, Amy Adams, Robert Downey Jr., Forest Whitaker and Danielle Deadwyler. But McKay has chosen to do a different project instead, and without him in the director's chair Netflix has decided not to proceed. 

According to Deadline, McKay has decided to put his talent where his mouth is. McKay has spoken a lot about the dangers of the climate emergency, and has decided that his next directorial project for one of the best streaming services should be climate-related. According to "insiders" that means he simply doesn't have the time to continue with his comedy project.
