“Versailles” star Alexander Vlahos has partnered with German executive producer Nicole Oebel (“Lola”) to form independent film production company CowHouse Films.
The Welsh-German company will kick off in early 2021 with principal photography on “Watchtower,” a film that explores the inner conflict of isolating oneself and allowing the presence of a loved one to be a source of strength.
Starring Sophie Hopkins, the film will be directed by Vlahos.
Vlahos’ acting work includes “Merlin” and “Privates,” and he will next be seen in Zdf Enterprises and Fuji TV’s soccer drama “The Window.” He made his directorial debut with the short “Lola,” which won best first time director at the Independent Shorts Awards earlier this year.

The Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble are back in the Tardis for another round of adventures in space and time! It’s been almost 10 years since David Tennant and Catherine Tate both appeared on TV’s Doctor Who – in 2010’s New Year’s Day special “The End of Time: Part Two” – but the dynamic duo are side by side again for a new boxset of audio dramas from Big Finish Productions.
Tennant and Tate previously reunited for the first volume of The Tenth Doctor Adventures back in 2017, with the second release featuring Tennant alongside Billie Piper’s Rose Tyler instead. Tate’s back on board for volume three though, as is the whole of the Noble family, with Jacqueline King and fan favorite Bernard Cribbins reprising their roles as Donna’s mother Sylvia Noble and her granddad Wilfred Mott.
Producer David Richardson explained that the idea to bring back Wilf came from ex-showrunner,...
