Rising star Darcey Ewart will play the lead role of Robin, whilst Harris takes on the role of evil developer ‘Clipboard’, Christie plays environmental activist ‘Aura’ and Williams features as the local Town Mayor.
The official synopsis reads; For the tenacious 11-year-old Robin (Ewart) and her loyal band of friends ‘The Hoods’, the patch of overgrown scrubland at the end of their cul-de-sac is a magical kingdom. Sticks and bin lids have become swords and shields, drones have become majestic eagles and the hippy lady in the forest (Christie) is a terrifying witch. The only thing limiting their colourful imagination is the prospect of losing their kingdom forever.

Stuart Benson, CFO and Secretary of MoviePass parent Helios and Matheson Analytics, has resigned to take another job.
The move was disclosed this morning in an SEC filing, which did not identify Benson’s new employment opportunity. “The company plans to initiate a search for, and hire, a new Chief Financial Officer as soon as practicable,” the filing said.
Whoever does come in as the top finance exec at the company will face a situation that cannot be described as stable. After a turbulent 2018, the company so far in 2019 has been delisted from the Nasdaq and has announced a restatement of its last quarterly results, saying it miscounted subscribers in a way that exaggerated revenue and minimized losses. The company’s previous model, which proved unsustainable, enabled subscribers to see up to one movie per day, for a flat $10 a month. MoviePass then burned through tens of millions in cash...

MoviePass’s parent company, data firm Helios and Matheson Analytics, reported on Thursday that it lost $137.2 million in the third quarter of 2018.
The company has been burning through cash and has struggled in recent months to continue to sufficiently raise capital.
“During this transitional period for Helios and MoviePass, we have been focused on reducing our burn rate and striving to improve our business model and we are very encouraged by our Q3 financial results,” Helios & Matheson CEO Ted Farnsworth said in a statement.

In its third-quarter filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday, Helios said that revenue for the quarter came in at $81.3 million, which was much improved compared with the $1.2 million the company reported during the same period last year.
That revenue growth, however, has come at a steep cost. Since acquiring MoviePass in August 2017, Helios...

Helios & Matheson, the parent company of MoviePass, announced in a public filing on Tuesday that it is canceling a shareholder vote for a second stock split, warning that it faces delisting from Nasdaq if its stock value remains below one dollar.
In the filing, Helios said that the company “does not expect to have the requisite stockholder votes” to approve a reverse stock split, which would have been set at a range between 1-for-2 shares and 1-for-500 shares. Helios shareholders had previously approved a reverse split in July, briefly raising the stock’s value as high as $22.50 a share. But the stock price quickly dropped and is currently valued at two cents a share.

Today in MoviePass news: a whole mess of bad stuff. To wit, the ailing movie subscription service is currently dealing with a multitude of new issues, beyond attempting to roll out yet another change to its plans, the consistent social media chatter from unhappy customers, and the recent revelation that even when said customers were canceling their accounts, oops!, the company wasn’t exactly following through with their wishes. The latest batch of problems to befall the company: a parent company with a massive operating loss, a bunch of angry shareholders, and one partner offering refunds on a failing service.
Deadline reports that MoviePass’ parent company Helios and Matheson (Hmny) “reported an operating loss of $126.6 million for the most recent quarter ending June 30. This follows a July of woes including their stock plummeting (again) under $1 after a 250-to-1 reverse stock split, and the service stalling on numerous occasions including the...

Helios & Matheson Analytics, the data company that owns subscription movie-going service MoviePass, said in filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday that it suffered a net loss of $63.4 million for the three months ending June 30. Add insult to ever-increasing injury, shareholders are now suing the company as well.
The lawsuit, filed in New York against Helios & Matheson CEO Ted Farnsworth and CFO Stuart Benson, accuses them of defrauding shareholders by presenting misleading information about the company’s financial standing.
“Defendants carried out a plan, scheme and course of conduct which was intended to and did, deceive the investing public and cause the plaintiff and other members of the class to purchase Helios common stock at artificially inflated prices,” the suit, filed by shareholder Jeffrey Braxton’s lawyers, reads.

Breaking: MoviePass parent company Helios and Matheson (Hmny) reported an operating loss of $126.6 million for the most recent quarter ending June 30. This follows a July of woes including their stock plummeting (again) under $1 after a 250-to-1 reverse stock split, and the service stalling on numerous occasions including the Thursday night before Mission: Impossible – Fallout opened when it looked like MoviePass ran out of money, and needed to take a $6M-plus loan.
But that’s not all. A class action lawsuit was made public as shareholders seek compensation after losing a significant amount of money. Hmny closed today at $0.05. The suit was filed against Helios and Matheson, CEO Ted Farnsworth and CFO Stuart Benson.
Shareholder Jeffrey Braxton filed suit Monday in federal district court in New York on behalf of hundreds, or potentially thousands, of investors who suffered losses because they were misled about the company’s business and its prospects.

Helios and Matheson Analytics, the parent company of MoviePass, has acquired the exclusive option to buy Emmett Furla Oasis Films, the producers of “Lone Survivor” and “End of Watch,” Variety has learned.
If completed, the deal will enable the company to buy the entire film library and current production slate of Efo Films. Helios and Matheson plans to use the library and the filmmaking expertise of Efo Films to launch its own production company, MoviePass Films. Randall Emmett and George Furla will serve as co-ceo’s of the new venture.

Last week, Helios and Matheson’s stock fell to 40 cents-a-share, its lowest closing price, amid investor alarm about a cash shortage. In October, Helios and Matheson’s stock had been trading at $38.86 a share.
