Daina Reid just earned her first Emmy nomination for directing “The Handmaid’s Tale” Season 2 episode “Holly,” her first-ever directing gig for a U.S. TV series. The director is previously known for projects in her native Australia, including “Never Tear Us Apart: The Untold Story of Inxs.” Reid was shocked to hear of her Emmy nomination for Best Drama Directing this year, even though it came months after her nomination for the same “Handmaid’s Tale” episode at the Directors Guild of America Awards. “There was a message from an associate of mine just saying, ‘Congratulations,’ and I’m like, ‘For what?'” Reid recalls, of Emmy nomination day. “Then I opened up my emails and there were like 40 emails so it was very surprising to wake up to that.” Watch our exclusive video interview with Reid above.

Russell Crowe got his big break in 1992 in a crazy, violent, and controversial Australian skinhead indie film called Romper Stomper. I was blown away by this movie when I first saw it and Crowe gave such an amazing terrifying performance. He played a neo-Nazi skinhead in the film named Hando. If you've never seen this movie before, it's definitely worth checking out.
According to THR, the film's creator Geoffrey Wright is now adapting his movie into a limited run TV series. It seems like the kind of story that would work great for series. Here's a description of what the series will entail:
The high stakes crime drama/political thriller explores the human face of extremism, picking up on the prescient themes and story of Wright’s classic film, following a new generation of the activist right, its anti-fascist counterparts and the multicultural fabric of a country that they threaten to tear apart.
