Directv Joins Netflix in the Original Series Business; Will Audiences Come?
10 May 2012 8:45 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
Many companies are jumping into original production to keep their customers from falling away, from Netflix to Directv. But Netflix has more to offer its subscribers at this point in the way of sophisticated taste algorithms than Directv, which is ordering up its first original series, suspense thriller "Rogue," from Entertainment One and Greenroom Entertainment. And Netflix is going A-list with David Fincher's "House of Cards," starring Kevin Spacey, as well as Eli Roth's werewolf saga "Hemlock Grove." Clearly, Roth has drunk the Netflix Koolaid; during a must-hear NPR interview, he described how he's making a thirteen-part independent movie; audiences now watch entire seasons of shows all at once, and rely on recommendation software to find things to see. Directv, on the other hand, is dipping its toe in the original series waters with a relatively B-tier series, ordering ten episodes of "Rogue," starring Thandie Newton...

‘Attack The Block’ Star John Boyega Joins Period Drama ‘Yellow Sun’ & Sci-Fi Film ‘Creeping Zero’
29 March 2012 11:38 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Allow it. After fighting off aliens in Attack the Block, John Boyega has jumped aboard his next feature production, Variety reports. The young actor, which we thought gave one of the best breakthrough performances of last year, will star in the feature debut of Biyi Bandele, the drama titled Half of a Yellow Sun. He’ll be joining Thandie Newton, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Dominic Cooper, who are already part of the cast as of earlier this year.
Bandele is a Nigerian playwright and his film uses Nigerian-Biafran War of 1967-1970 — wherein the southeastern areas of Nigeria tried to secede from the Republic of Biafra — as a background. It’ll primarily focus on “a revolutionary university professor, his lover, her sister, a British ex-pat, and their houseboy.”
Boyega has also signed on to lead Billy O’Brien‘s Isolation follow-up Creeping Zero, which Shadow and Act has more details on. It »

'Attack The Block' Star John Boyega Lines Up 'Half Of A Yellow Sun' & Sci-Fi Pic 'Creeping Zero'
29 March 2012 8:56 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
When "Attack the Block" hit screens last summer, it almost immediately became everyone's favorite new cult hit. While we're still waiting with bated breath to find out what writer/director Joe Cornish will do next, someone who's taking considerably less time to line up his future projects is Atb's lead actor, John Boyega.
That was Boyega's debut performance, and he's since also been seen in "Junkhearts" (which got a small U.K. release last year), but it looked like his breakout role was going to be in Spike Lee's pilot "Da Brick." Unfortunately that project appears to have been killed as HBO passed on it earlier this month (although we're still holding out hope that someone else will pick up the pilot) leaving Boyega still looking for that role that makes him a star.
Might "Half of a Yellow Sun" be that project? The British-Nigerian actor will join Chiwetel Ejiofor, »
