Es sind echte Kulttitel, Brettspiele, die seit Jahrzehnten ganze Generationen begeistern: „Das verrückte Labyrinth“, „Scotland Yard“ und „Lotti Karotti“. Jetzt werden diese Marken auch die große Leinwand erobern – dank einer neuen Partnerschaft, die die Constantin Film und der Ravensburger Verlag geknüpft haben und in deren Rahmen sich die Constantin die Verfilmungsrechte gesichert hat.
Dabei soll für jede der drei Marken die beste Form der Umsetzung gefunden werden, um das jeweilige Zielgruppenpotenzial bestmöglich auszuschöpfen. So wird beispielsweise für „Lotti Karotti“ ein Animationsfilm angestrebt. Für „Das verrückte Labyrinth“ erfolgt die Zusammenarbeit mit dem langjährigen Constantin-Partner SamFilm, einer der erfolgreichsten Family-Entertainment-Produktionsfirmen.

Sarah Philip digs into the story of the British film television channel that’s becoming a quiet sensation.
This article was originally published on 2nd April 2020.
When was the last time you saw a British black and white film on any of the five main UK terrestrial channels? A few weeks ago? A few months? Even if you do, it’s probably a film that’s been repeated a thousand times before. We’re at a point where even specialist movie channels like Film4 only show one or two classic films a day, and they’re not always British. As for subscription TV, TCM tends to screen American classics.
But one channel’s bucking the trend. Talking Pictures TV showcases black and white British films. Over eight years since its launch in 2015, it’s become one of the biggest film channels in the UK. In 2018, it attracted a weekly audience of up to 2 million viewers,...

Lyon, France – Since its launch in 2015, Talking Pictures TV has become the fastest-growing independent channel in the U.K. with a growing library of British film and TV titles that span five decades, according to founder Noel Cronin.
Noel Cronin attended the Lumière Festival’s International Classic Film Market (Mifc) in Lyon, France, where he took part in a roundtable discussion on distribution of heritage cinema.
His 24-hour channel offers feature films and TV series from the 1930s to the 1980s, reaching some 850,000 viewers a day and 2.6 million a week. Talking Pictures TV is available in the U.K. on the Sky digital satellite platform, Freeview and other satellite outlets.
Talking Pictures TV grew out of Cronin’s DVD distribution company, Renown Pictures.
“We acquired several old libraries – mostly B-features, but good ones,” Cronin explains. “We started to release them on DVD and they sold quite well. … We felt there...

Back in 2015, Britain witnessed a robbery that could have been straight out of the movies. It was a throwback crime to the days of the Great Train Robbery of 1963, a crime which made the likes of Buster Edwards and Ronnie Biggs household names. It was only a matter of time before this new story was adapted for the big screen and The Hatton Garden Job is just that film.
The Hatton Garden Job is directed by Tower Block and I Am Soldier writer and director Ronnie Thompson, though looking at the new trailer anyone would think this has a touch of Guy Ritchie about it. The cast is none too shabby either; the gang of aging criminals is lead by Brian Reader who is played by Larry Lamb who may be most recognisable as Gavin’s Dad in Gavin and Stacey. He also had the evil role...

In the first trailer for CBS' new anthology docu-series, The Case of JonBenét Ramsey, investigators revisit the nearly 20-year-old murder, focusing on the frantic 911 call from the girl's mother Patsy. The operator, who took the call, says she's never been questioned by the authorities. "Twenty years, nobody asked me," the operator tearfully explains in the clip, which debuted Tuesday. "I think it would have really turned the case around." In the new clip, investigators say they plan to further analyze Patsy's call, stripping the audio and using noise reduction to find a conversation that happened when the Ramseys thought the line was disconnected.

As the undisputed king of American gothic, Vincent Price holds a unique position regarding his association with British horror. From the mid sixties, nearly all his films were made in the UK, and while not as distinguished as The House of Usher (1960), Tales of Terror (1962) and The Raven (1963), they are not without interest. As an actor perfectly suited to English gothic, Price’s output includes two career-defining performances. In a nutshell, he had the best of both worlds.
Masque of the Red Death (1964)
The British phase of his career began with a bang. After directing all of Price’s Poe chillers for American International Pictures, Roger Corman wanted to give the formula a fresh approach by making his next film in England. Aip’s Samuel Z Arkoff and James H Nicholson had already produced several European films, so the next step was to establish a London base with Louis M Heyward in charge.
