CNN's Ana Navarro got heated with Stephen Moore over President Trump's decision to pardon Joe Arpaio just two weeks removed from his initial comments on Charlottesville.

Enjoying a healthy festival run after its premiere at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, and a tour that brought it to SXSW and Toronto, Adam Wingard’s The Guest arrives on Blu-ray shortly after scoring a nod for Best Editing at the Independent Spirit Awards (though it’s unfortunate there wasn’t any room for some other awards love, such as for cinematography for Dan Stevens). Making their return to distribution, the Picturehouse folks grossed north of a quarter of a million at the box office, and the film had releases in multiple regions across the globe.

After contributing to several anthology films, including the V/H/S films and The ABCs of Death, director Wingard and screenwriter Simon Barrett return to their first feature since 2011’s You’re Next, (a film that finally hit theaters to warm reception in 2013) with The Guest. Adept talents for entertaining, tongue-in-cheek scenarios, Wingard and...

Ivanhoe Pictures has taken exclusive film rights to action/adventure Ya novel The Walled City by Ryan Graudin.

The story follows three teenagers fighting to escape a lawless city and Ivanhoe’s John Penotti (pictured), Kelly Carmichael and Josh Cohen are producing and overseeing development.

Tracey Adams and Stephen Moore negotiated the deal on behalf of Ryan Graudin and Brian Kornreich for Ivanhoe Pictures.

Exclusive: Tapping into the lucrative Young Adult arena, Ivanhoe Pictures has acquired film rights to action-adventure novel The Walled City. The book by Ryan Graudin (All That Glows) was just published on November 4 by Little Brown Books for Young Readers. Described as The Hunger Games meets The Maze Runner, the story follows three teenagers as they fight to survive and escape a lawless, walled city. The town of the title is based on China’s Kowloon Walled City, an element that fits with Ivanhoe’s focus on North American and Asian markets. The book is not yet published in China. It is sold in UK, France, Germany, Norway and Portugal as of now.

Ivanhoe’s John Penotti, Kelly Carmichael and Josh Cohen are producing and overseeing development.

“Immediately after receiving an early copy of Ryan’s thrilling novel we couldn’t put it down. Ryan has created such an exciting...

[This is a re-post of my review from the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. The Guest opens today in limited release.] From 1974 to 1988, director John Carpenter was pretty much unstoppable. His films were scary, funny, strange, and thrilling. Adam Wingard’s The Guest feels like a lost Carpenter film from the director’s golden age. The picture effortlessly moves between a nerve-wracking mystery to a gleefully dark comedy, and at its best it even mixes the two together. While Wingard carries the Carpenter-esque tone by making excellent use of Robby Baumgartner’s cinematography and Stephen Moore’s score, his greatest asset is Dan Stevens’ tremendous lead performance. And even when the picture starts to get away from Wingard, it never ceases to be an entertaining ride. Laura Peterson (Sheila Kelley) is grieving over the death of her son Caleb when a man arrives on her doorstep claiming to be his army buddy, David Collins (Stevens). Even though he sports a little bit of handsome stubble, David’s attitude is completely clean-cut.

UK service run by David Hughes and Stephen Moore sets sights on Afm, closing deals.

The UK Tvod space is increasingly congested. But TheHorrorShow.tv is a newcomer with a twist, being the first UK horror only VOD service.

“This is a go-to venue for horror fans,” says marketing consultant David Hughes, co-founder of the recently launched bespoke site.

“While some of our films are on iTunes, we’re building a specific community and a niche,” explains Hughes who set up the privately-backed site with former Fox and Disney executive Stephen Moore. “We have 4,000 followers on Twitter, 3,000 on Facebook.”

The site currently has about 55 films available for streaming and download to own with another 50 set to be available by the end of the year.

Most titles are rentable for £3.49 or buyable for £9.99 at the same time as their DVD release. Some are available before, while five are exclusive to the service – including FrightFest features Daylight and Saddiq...

A New Orleans native, writer-director Todd Berger moved to Austin to attend The University of Texas. After graduating from Ut’s Radio-Television-Film program, Berger was quickly swept away to the always sunny shores of Los Angeles. With The Scenesters (2009) and It’s a Disaster (2012), Berger has become yet another success story to come out of Ut’s film program; and even though he did not spend very much time in Austin, Berger has maintained very strong ties with the Austin film community. So, when we heard that Berger was coming to Austin for the regional premiere of his latest directorial effort, It’s a Disaster, at the 2012 Austin Film Festival we thought it would be fun to get his outsider perspective on the Austin… What prompted you to move to La after you graduated from Ut? That wasn’t originally my plan. I was going to move to Chicago and do Second City. But...

Britain's Prince Charles has helped make a huge 'difference' to the life of a London jeweller who was affected by last year's summer riots. Stephen Moore owned family-run Paradise Gems on High Road in Tottenham before seeing it burned down in August 2011, and admits he has been much helped by visits from the prince and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. He said: 'I think I made a particular impact on the prince and he has made a lot of difference to my life. 'When I spoke to the prince, he said, 'This is not right,' and got on to the police. Now things have started to happen.' However he is not expecting the jewellery that...

It’s the game no one wants to play in. Ultimately it doesn’t mean much; it is just a badge, to finish on a high despite the looming shadow of Sunday’s Final reminding those involved of what could have been. But on Friday one of these sides will be deemed “third best team in the world”.

On paper it doesn’t sound bad, being third best considering there are plenty more teams below you in the pecking order. But the wounds are still too raw either both teams to appreciate that fact, the healing effect of time yet to be given a chance to soothe.

Both sides could feasibly have been playing two days later and both will feel aggrieved not to be there. The Welsh arguably have a greater justification to be annoyed, given the performance they put in against the French considering they went an hour...

With the Northern Hemishphere having all the fun yesterday, Sunday was the chance of the South, with all four of the soon to be Four Nations in action to begin the process of deciding which will be taking on the best side from the North on October 23rd for the Webb Ellis Cup.

With the likes of Digby Iaone and Kurtly Beale providing a boost for Australia and John Smit and Bryan Habana been passed fit for South Africa, both sides were pretty strong, despite Frans Steyn missing for the latter and thus removing a little of their creative threat.

With the late afternoon sun causing those watching in the Wellington Stadium all sorts of bother, both teams started in a Wales/Ireland fashion (thankfully) with plenty of speed and aggression. A few high balls into the sun from both sides were dealt with, Australia particularly looking quite calm when...

Ex-20th Century Fox boss Stephen Moore is leading a charity's campaign to put more cinemas in hospitals

Stephen Moore was on a last-minute Christmas Eve trolley dash in Waitrose when his phone rang. On the other end of the line was Ian Cheshire, chief executive of B&Q's owner, Kingfisher. He was also in a Waitrose at the other end of the country, but Cheshire wasn't calling for advice about turkey stuffing.

He wanted to offer Moore a job. Not as a high-flying executive at Kingfisher, but as the boss of a MediCinema, a charity that builds cinemas in hospitals so that patients can enjoy a modicum of normality.

Moore, previously president of the international division of 20th Century Fox, had applied for the job after returning to Britain to continue his career in the film industry, before becoming disillusioned. He admits he was the "left-field candidate" to run...

Former Fox Film Exec Building Cinemas In UK Hospitals Stephen Moore, the former president of the international division of 20th Century Fox, has traded an office in Hollywood for one in a London hospital. He’s signed on as CEO of MediCinema, a UK charity that builds movie screens in hospitals as therapy for patients. A new cinema is about to open at Guy’s Hospital in London and there are others in Newcastle and Glasgow, with more planned. “The idea is that someone in hospital can have the same experience you can have on a Saturday night, complete with surround sound and tiered seating,” Moore told the UK’s Guardian. “They’re as good as any preview theater. The only difference is, it’s nil-by-mouth, so there’s no popcorn.” ‘Flying Machine’ Set For Beijing’s Forbidden City Theater The 3D family film, a Chinese-Polish co-production, will have its...

The Wall Street Journal is good at making online video. More importantly, the Wall Street Journal is good at making online video lucrative. The international business and financially-focused newspaper sees Cpm rates in the range of $75 to $100 for its videos on WSJ.com. So, what do you do when you're a print organization whose traditional revenue sources are dwindling in value, but even one of your biggest competitors implicitly admit that you're killing it in the online video space? You create as much video as you can. This week, WSJ launched its latest live video offering with the premiere of Opinion Journal Live. Every weekday at 12Pm Et, James Freeman, assistant editor of The Wall Street Journal's editorial page, and editorial board member Jason Riley play host on Opinion Journal Live and feature interviews with newsmakers and WSJ op-ed contributors. Expect to see frequent appearances from deputy editorial page editor Daniel Henninger,...

Relativity Media has announced that Vincenzo Natali will direct an adaptation of the internationally best-selling book series Tunnels. Natali, who has received major buzz after the success of his film Splice (Steve loved it) at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, will adapt the first installment of the book series from a script by Simon Sandquist and Joel Bergvall. Written by first-time authors Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams,

“Tunnels tells the story of Will, a 14-year-old boy driven by a fascination of the buried past, who is drawn into a subterranean world after his archaeologist father abruptly goes missing. This hidden civilization, beautiful and unforgiving, is dominated by a sinister, vicious race called the Styx, who have presided over generations of enslaved colonists.”

As long as he’s not a “chosen one” pulled out of his crappy life, I can get on board. The sequel, Deeper, has already been published with the third installment,...

London -- I’ve learned that Stephen Moore, TV managing director for Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Canada, has been made redundant. He’d been in the job for less than a year. Moore was in charge of distributing Disney/ABC/Espn programming to 240 territories worldwide. Shows included such ubiquitous Disney hits as Desperate Housewives, Lost, and Ugly Betty. Disney has confirmed Moore is being made redundant. It has no plans to replace him with somebody else overseeing foreign TV distribution. Instead, it’s putting greater emphasis on each territory taking responsibility for itself.

Since The Week in Sports began as a feature on AfterElton.com we've kept our queer eye on the photo wires to bring you a weekly compilation of the most arresting images of male athleticisim from around the world.

2009 is coming to a close, so in this final installment we thought we'd look back and gather together the best of the best. Hence The Year in Sports. (Well, technicaly the half-year in sports, since we only started this feature in July.)

Now we know not every football fan is also a tennis fan, and some rugby fanatics cannot abide men's gymnastics. So this time out we've helpfully sorted the photos by category. You can jump to whatever photo collection you want by the table of contents below. Oh, and in addition to the major sports, we've got a few special photo categories that we hope you'll enjoy!

Cannes -- Users across the globe can now sling their favorite TV shows from wherever they are, as remote access TV powerhouse Sling Media takes consumers on a world tour, but viewers prefer to watch in the comfort of their own homes, according to figures released from Sling Media on Wednesday.

Some 70% of consumers claim that their primary use for their Slingbox is within the home, up from 40% just two years ago according to Sling Media's vp Emea Stuart Collingwood.

After launching in 15 countries across Europe last year and on iPhone just a couple of weeks ago, Sling Media plans to roll out to the Middle East and Eastern Europe within the next year.

While TiVo rose to fame for its time-shifting capabilities, Sling Media is honing its play-shifting capabilities to change the way consumers access TV, with sales to more than 20 countries across the globe and...

Disney's "FlashForward" has done precisely that overseas -- wrapping a number of licensing deals with foreign broadcasters even before its launch in the U.S.

The action drama from ABC Studios, which premiers stateside on Sept. 24, has been picked up by broadcasters in 11 territories in Europe, following an initial purchase in July by Channel Five in the U.K.

No word on the prices per episode, but the show was reckoned by foreign programmers as one of the standouts at May's Los Angeles Screenings sales bazaar.

Top U.S. dramas these days can rake in as much as $1 million per episode from their deals abroad.

Disney-abc-espn Television, Disney's international distribution arm, unveiled the deals Wednesday with over-the-air stations Cuatro (Spain), Nelonen (Finland), Rte (Ireland), Ruv (Iceland) and TV2 (Norway) as well as with pay TV players Axn (Spain and Portugal), Digiturk (Turkey), Fox International Channels (Greece and Cyprus) and Sbs...

London -- Music-download service Spotify, Disney and Microsoft will join dozens of international creative businesses to debate how to foster success and secure creative rights at the first government-backed Creativity and Business International Network held in London from Oct. 26-28, culture secretary Ben Bradshaw said Friday.

Dubbed "C&binet," the conference is the government's attempt to boost growth for the creative industries and devise conditions to nurture the next generation of creative entrepreneurs. It will reflect the international nature of the entertainment and creative industries and involve representatives from overseas governments and regulators in a bid to establish international dialogue and cross-border consensus on such issues as copyright production, intellectual property and boosting the creative economy.

"Britain is known across the world for the strength of its creative industries and the wealth of talent we possess. We want to make sure this success continues but to ensure sustained growth we need international cooperation,...

Methane is 20 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, and cows are responsible for almost three-quarters of total methane emissions. So it makes sense that Stephen Moore, a professor of agricultural, food, and nutritional science at the University of Alberta, is trying to breed cows that burp less and hence produce 25% fewer methane emissions.

Moore is examining the genes responsible for methane production in cows' four stomachs (rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum) in an attempt to breed cows that deliver milk and meat sans excess greenhouse emissions. Primary tests have been successful, but the long-term impact of breeding methane-efficient cows is unknown. If successful, Moore's cows could also become efficient at converting feed into muscle and producing less waste.

But tweaking cow genes isn't the only way to minimize methane production. Cows at 15 farms in Vermont are participating in a Stonyfield Farm-sponsored program to go on a...
