Netflix has shut down a romantic comedy it had in the works with filmmaker Nancy Meyers over concerns about its budget.
Sources told The Hollywood Reporter that the streamer did not want to surpass a $130 million budget for the movie.
It would have been the first directorial stint for Meyers, 73, since The Intern in 2015, which featured Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway.
The filmmaker was requesting a budget of at least $150 million for the film, which 'could have made it the most expensive romantic-comedy of all time,' according to THR.
Among the stars whose names had been mentioned as possible stars for the Netflix film include Scarlett Johansson, Penélope Cruz, Michael Fassbender and Owen Wilson.
