Portuguse public broadcaster Rtp has taken an undisclosed co-production stake in animated series “My Brother Is a T-Rez,” a Spanish-Portuguese project created and directed by Spaniard Javi Peces (“Bento”).
Executive produced by Celine Fernandes at Portuguese animation house Lusco Fusco Animation in co-production with Madrid-based Mr. Klaus Studio, “My Brother” is an upper pre-school series project aimed to promote adventure, educational and sustainability values.
The project was previously pre-bought by Spain’s public broadcaster Rtve for its children-oriented channel Clan TV.
“The Rtp deal completes a seal of recognition and support from both TV channels in our respective countries, so the circle is closed in the Iberian peninsula,” Fernandes told Variety.
“Our goal is to produce an animation series that is successful on the TV screen with a strong marketing reach,” Peces added.

If you need a menacing and malevolent villain for further seasons of your acclaimed TV show, then look no further than Giancarlo Esposito, who appears to be the name at the top of everyone’s list. The 62 year-old took a much bigger role in the second run of The Mandalorian as the nefarious Moff Gideon, just weeks after shady businessman Stan Edgar played a more substantial part in the sophomore outing of Amazon’s subversive superhero hit The Boys.
The third season of Better Call Saul, meanwhile, also saw him make a welcome return as Gus Fring, the iconic small screen bad guy he first tackled in season 2 of Breaking Bad almost a decade previously. Esposito clearly has no issues running the risk of being typecast, then, and the head honcho of Los Pollos Hermanos remains the defining role of a lengthy career that began over 40 years ago. In fact,...

Alicia Keys and Brandi Carlile have released a new duet, “A Beautiful Noise,” meant to encourage voter turnout in the 2020 elections.
The track is a straightforward but effective bit of piano balladry, with Keys and Carlile trading verses before coming together in perfect harmony, “It’s believing you belong/It’s calling out the wrong/From the silence of my sisters/To the violence of my brother/We can, we can rage/Against the river/Feel the pain of another/I have a voice.”

Hulu has dropped an action-packed trailer to “No Man’s Land,” an epic war series, love story and, above all, tale of personal odyssey.
Setting it apart, the eight-part series takes place against the background of the Syrian Kurd Ypj women’s militia push back against Isis, a struggle featuring formidable female fighters.
A Hulu Original, set to bow in the U.S. on Nov. 18, “No Man’s Land” is created by “Fauda” and “First Flag” producer Maria Feldman as well as Eitan Mansuri, behind Omri Givon’s 2018 Canneseries best series winner “When Eagles Fly.”
In a pedigree creative package, the series is written by “False Flag’s” Amit Cohen and “Euphoria’s” Ron Leshem.
That is reflected in a multi-level series which is at once intimate drama and geo-political eye-opener, and spangled by set piece action scenes between the Ypj and Isis, which make up much of the trailer.

One of the buzz films at Visions Du Reel, Mexican filmmaker Laura Plancarte’s Montana-set “Non Western” explores the romantic journey of Thaddeus, a Cheyenne native, and Nanci, a Caucasian, and the challenges their interracial union faces. Through them, Plancarte explores the chains of oppression that persist from one generation to another.
Thaddeus and Nanci were all set to travel to Visions du Reel in Switzerland when the coronavirus pandemic scuttled those plans, said Plancarte, who has lived in London for the past 11 years since winning a grant from BNP Paribas in recognition of her career as an artist.
She met the couple while making her previous film, the acclaimed “Hermanos,” when filming a main character’s return to Montana. “I fell in love not only with the landscapes, but with the people,” she said, noting the similarities in her Mexican culture and that of Native Americans. “Ours are both colonized cultures,...

The final 12-episode season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars is almost upon us and now Disney+ has picked out 20 of the most important episodes to watch before the show returns in less than two weeks.
It’s a known fact that Star Wars fans are usually divided about almost everything that comes out of a galaxy far, far away. But surprisingly, this has never been the case with The Clone Wars. The critically acclaimed series came to an abrupt end in 2014 with a shortened 13-episode season, but fans have been asking the Mouse House to revive it ever since. As such, everyone collectively freaked out when they learned that Dave Filoni would be back with his hit show to conclude the story, this time in a satisfying way.
In fact, this final run promises to explore the events that lead to Revenge of the Sith and fill in the gaps.

Paramount’s spy thriller “The Rhythm Section,” starring Blake Lively, opened quietly with $235,000 at 2,256 North American locations on Thursday night.
Horror fantasy “Gretel & Hansel” also launched on Thursday, but Orion Pictures did not report preview numbers.
The new entries are expected to generate only modest returns of less than $10 million during the typically quiet Super Bowl weekend while Sony’s action comedy “Bad Boys for Life” tops box office charts for the third weekend in a row. The third iteration of the Will Smith-Martin Lawrence franchise should take in between $15 million and $20 million, followed by Universal’s sixth frame of World War I drama “1917” in the $10 million to $12 million range.
Lively teams with Jude Law in “Rhythm Section,” an R-rated action drama about a woman investigating a plane crash that killed her family. It’s been forecast to open in the $4 million to $8 million range at 3,049 theaters. Critics...

The trivia battle of the century has found two worthy teams on Riverdale Season 4 Episode 11.
In one corner, there was the devious and elitist clique from Stonewall Prep. Of course, with Brett taking the helm as their leader. While coming up for the heroes in the second spot, Betty and her Riverdale High ladies were ready to slay the competition.
After weeks of Betty dealing with Brett's smug attitude, their face-off was long overdue!

Ticket sales could grind to a halt over Super Bowl weekend, a notoriously quiet time of year at the box office.
Two new movies are opening — Paramount’s spy thriller “The Rhythm Section” and Orion Pictures’ fantasy adventure “Gretel & Hansel” — though each is expected to make less than $10 million. Since the Super Bowl is the most-watched TV event of the year, studios shied away from releasing any blockbuster-hopefuls, assuming America’s attention will shift to the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs.
“The overwhelming attention paid to the Super Bowl over the entire weekend has traditionally made this a weekend that belongs more to football and less to the movies,” said Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst with Comscore.
Instead, Sony’s action comedy “Bad Boys for Life” should rule box office charts for the third weekend in a row. The latest entry in the Will Smith and...

HBO Asia, the Asian arm of the American premium TV channel second venture into the world of wuxia, focuses on another iconic Chinese folk hero,Wong Kei-ying.
Wong Kei-ying is a quiet and honest physician, who spends his life upholding medical ethics and saving lives, while avoiding conflicts and politics. However, China in the mid-19th century is swarming with opium, with a number of opposing powers trying to control its distribution, while the consequences lay heavy on the populace, from kids to the elderly. The new governor of Canton, General Wei tricks Wong into helping him take control of the opium control from the Ma gang, who are the chief distributors, and subsequently, tasks him (supposedly) to find a cure for the addiction. The first task ends up with the beaten leaders of the Ma gang becoming Wong’s friends, and the second with him becoming...

We have to admit, the post-Marvel Studios career for the Russo Brothers, and their production company, Agbo, hasn’t been the most electric, thus far. Their first Agbo-produced series, “Deadly Class,” was unceremoniously canceled by Syfy after only one season. And the first feature film to be produced by the brothers, coming off their record-breaking “Avengers: Endgame,” was the mediocre “21 Bridges,” which quickly disappeared after an uneventful box office showing.

The Dark Order has been a maligned group in Aew. From their debut over the summer to the ill-timed push the group has been receiving since Aew Dynamite debuted on TNT this past fall, every step for the Dark Order has been met with heavy criticism.
Not enough was done to build the characters. Formerly the Super Smash Brothers, no explanation was given to longtime wrestling fans on why the team had new personas. At the same time, to new Aew fans who maybe didn't see the Super Smash Brothers in Roh or the indie scene, little was done to introduce them or tell the audience their backstory.
They were this group of evil, who had followers in masks, and they existed merely to exist. One of Aew's biggest missteps since the launch...

The tale of “Hansel and Gretel” is one that isn’t exactly new to Hollywood. From its more classical and traditional adaptations of the original Brothers Grimm story like the 2002 film of the same name to the more unique retellings like 2013’s “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters” starring Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton, their story has seen many shapes and forms.

With all the talk about “Uncut Gems” and possible Oscars recognition, many film fans might have forgotten that the Safdie Brothers were actually attached to another film before that. In fact, the film that the Safdies were signed on to develop is none other than a remake of the popular ‘80s buddy cop comedy, “48 Hrs.”
But according to a new interview with MovieWeb, the Safdies explained why they’re not working on that film anymore and how that experience taught them to stick with originals…for now.

Padma Lakshmi had the cleverest response after The New Yorker’s Instagram account confused the Indian author and “Top Chef” host with Indian actress Priyanka Chopra by accidentally tagging Chopra in a photo of Lakshmi.
“Thank you to the illustrious ‘@nydailynews’ for the shoutout,” Lakshmi wrote in a caption to go with a screen shot of the mistake, deliberately tagging the wrong publication. “I know to some we all look alike, but… #desilife #justindianthings.”
The New Yorker has since deleted the Instagram post. Reps for Chopra and the magazine did not respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.

Despite their popularity, particularly among the mainstream audience, action movies are probably most difficult in terms of production, particularly regarding the budget demanded for such efforts. Stuntmen, SFX, action coordinators and a big budget for editing are some of the few standards a good action movie should include, and evidently, these cost money. However, since, most of the time these movies manage to get their money back and even have a profit, we still saw a plethora of them, and Asian cinema could not remains “outside the dance”, with a number of entries of the genre coming out every year, particularly from China and Hong Kong. Of course, the golden era of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest is long since gone, but this does not mean that one cannot find quality movies in the category.

YouTube’s Dobre Brothers -- a fraternal faction of four vlogging megastars named Cyrus, Darius, Lucas, and Marcus, who count a combined 30 million subscribers and 10 million Instagram followers -- are delving into the mobile gaming business.
They’re partnering on the venture, dubbed Dobre Dunk, with Bbtv Interactive -- the division of BroadbandTV that creates mobile games in coordination with top YouTube stars. Available on both iOS and Android, the game will enable players to dunk their favorite brother into a basketball hoop -- by flipping and flopping their characters en route -- as many times as possible. The game, which is free to play but features in-app purchases, was inspired by the guys’ content, which most frequently comprises stunts, sibling-fueled pranks, and original music.
Bbtv Interactive, launched in Jan. 2018, has worked with other top creators to build original games and mobile apps across multiple platforms, including Bhad Bhabie's Ride Or Die!

The Jonas Brothers were in full force as they attended the premiere of Nick's upcoming movie, Jumanji: The Next Level, in La on Monday. Looking incredibly dapper in similar suits, the brothers were all smiles as they walked the blue carpet together. At one point, Joe teased his little brother by playfully smushing his face for the cameras.
Turns out, Kevin and Joe were stepping in for Nick's wife, Priyanka Chopra, who unfortunately couldn't attend due to filming. "She's in India right now, shooting a movie there," Nick told Entertainment Tonight during the premiere. "Although she's jealous because she loves Jumanji. She loved the last one. And she really wanted to be here, but she's got work." Even though we didn't get any cute moments between Nick and Priyanka during the premiere, the rare Jonas Brothers appearance totally makes up for it. See more pictures from the premiere ahead.

Given how hungry fans were for any and all info on the movie, security on Avengers: Endgame was so tight that the cast was apparently only allowed to read the parts of the script that involved their characters and weren’t allowed to know the full storyline. At least, that goes for most of them.
Furthermore, we also know that in order to keep spoilers at bay, fake scripts were given to most of the actors which hid the real plot developments behind fictitious ones that were never going to be filmed. But of course, a lot of moments in the movie saw the actors go off script and improvise a bit, and Karen Gillan, who plays Nebula, has now revealed one such scene.
While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, the actress touched on the part at the beginning of the film, where her character is traveling through space with Iron Man.

The last wide entries of 2019 hit tracking today with projections for the 5-day Christmas holiday as follows: 20th Century Fox/Blue Sky’s animated feature Spies in Disguise ($23M-$30M), Sony’s Greta Gerwig directed Little Women ($19M-$35M), and A24’s Adam Sandler crime thriller Uncut Gems ($15M).
Distribution sources always say that people don’t begin to go to the movies until after Christmas, however, Disney’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is the exception to that rule. Skywalker is still looking at a $200M+ debut, though some firms are playing it safe and calling it lower at $175M when it opens on Dec. 20.
Still, every day is like a Friday at the B.O. between the Christmas and New Year’s weekend stretch. Fandango reported earlier this week that 93% of 18+ moviegoers will see...

Actress Jacqueline Fernandez feels people are "extremely ignorant" to think successful people have not seen the dark side of life, and says it is difficult to hide real emotions and put up a smiling face in public all the time.
"People will be extremely ignorant to think that anyone who has achieved any form of success has not seen the dark side. For me I think the hardest thing is keeping a smile on my face when I'm not happy. The hardest thing has been not being rude when I really wanna snap. It's actually has been the hardest thing for me because we are all human," Jacqueline said.

The success of “The Tale of Zatoichi” was surprising for many, including those at the Daiei Film studio, who wasted no time in green-lighting a fast-tracked follow-up to the film. Sure enough, a mere six months later, “The Tale of Zatoichi Continues” was released. This trend of urgent follow-ups would go on to continue throughout the production of the Zatoichi series, with as many as four films often releasing in a year and several in various stages of production at the same time.
Still remorseful from killing Hirate, the man he thought he could grow to be friends with but regrettably found on the wrong side of the feudal war in the first film, Zatoichi decides to visit his grave to mark a year of the warrior’s passing, a journey that is going to prove a lot easier said than done, for hot on his heels...

It's Thanksgiving on Riverdale Season 4 Episode 7.
There is a lot to be thankful for, including uninvited guests for dinner, investigative games of "Never Have I Ever," and deceptive plots to blackmail family members. You know, all the Thanksgiving drama with none of the awkward family chats.
The celebration will be one for the record books of Riverdale's craziest holiday celebrations yet.
If you guessed that there was a secret society at Stonewall Prep claps and cookies for you! (The Baxter Brothers tip their hats in congratulations too.)
Something shady had to have been going on at the school. What happened to Jughead's grandfather, the theft of the book series, and Mr.Chipping's strange death were all glaring red flags to something greater. It's no coincidence that two Baxter Brothers writers (Mr. Chipping and Mr. Dupont) were part of the secret society.
Riverdale must be teasing the introduction of that group for the big "ah-ha!

Created by and starring Haggard, “Back to Life” centers on Miri Matteson, who, after 18 years behind bars, returns home and stumbles back into adult life in the coastal town she once knew, while the mystery of her past looms large. It is set to wrap its six-episode first season on Nov. 24.
“‘Back to Life’ is a charming, funny and introspective comedy that resonates beautifully with Showtime viewers,” said Jana Winograde, president of Entertainment. “With such sharp writing and sensitive, winning performances from Daisy and the cast, we are confident that this gem from across the pond has even more delights to share with us in season two.”
