Netflix is in the final stages of closing a $50 million global rights deal for "Pain Hustlers", a new drama helmed by David Yates and starring Emily Blunt.

"Pain Hustlers" boasts a script by "The True American" writer Wells Tower, and the film is produced by Lawrence Grey through his Grey Matter Productions banner and Wychwood Pictures.

Emily Blunt will star as a high-school dropout and mother who lands a job with a failing pharmaceutical start-up in a yellowing strip mall in Central Florida.

Her charm, guts and drive catapult the company and her into the high life where she soon finds herself at the center of a criminal conspiracy with deadly consequences.

Blunt is the star of "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Into the Woods". She recently appeared in "Jungle Cruise". Yates has directed several Harry Potter films, as well as the less-successful Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them films, which are Wizarding adjacent
