Noah Baumbach Had the Support of Netflix with White Noise

“Netflix was great and gave us the support we needed to make the movie,” Baumbach said of working with Netflix on White Noise, per IndieWire. “The book has this airborne toxic event, which is a big spectacle, and it becomes a big movie as a result. You begin by budgeting the script you’ve written, then you sort of look at the numbers and think about the practical application, which is no different from how you’d do any movie. I wasn’t thinking about scope except to the degree that it tells the story. I wasn’t interested in doing the smaller version of that.”

Baumbach also spoke about how the film was inspired by the “myth of ’80s America,” a time that was defined by the AIDS and homeless crises. He added, “It’s telling this story of how, in our attempts not to deal with our own mortality, to really acknowledge death in a serious way in our culture, we somehow sublimated death into our entertainment. By cloaking yourself in death and horror, you’re somehow protecting yourself from real death and horror."

White Noise will be released in select theaters on Nov. 25, 2022, followed by its release on Netflix on Dec. 30, 2022. New specialty artwork has also been released for the film, which was designed by Marija Tiurina and will be exclusively distributed in theaters.
