Glastonbury FireTorm

Quick moving story: To quote the fictitious news, Ron Burgundy … who intensified quickly. All the advantages of the Glastonbury Festival this week in the United Kingdom concerned whether the BBC would broadcast or broadcast the controversial Irish rap group following the arrest and the guarantee of the group of the Liam óg óg óg óg óg óg óg for a terrorist offense. In the end, the carnage came from the little -known punk duo Bob Vylan. In a set directly before the ball joint on the same scene, the British group led thousands of crowd members in songs of “Death, Death to the IDF” (Israeli defense forces) and “free Palestine”, before repeating the controversial slogan, “from the river to the sea, Palestine must be, will be free”. The BBC qualified the whole “deeply offensive”, but the reputation damage was done, and things went from harm to worse when it appeared that the general manager Tim Davie was at the festival the day all this happened and that Bob Vylan had been considered a “high risk” before the festival. The storm eye was open, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer requesting answers. The BBC later said that it had “regrets” to play flow, which won a lot in the live and musical diffusion production space, which say that proven systems are in place to stop such errors. Does the BBC now have a “leadership problem”, as the secretary of culture Lisa Nandy suggests? The calls increase for the resignation of Davie of certain initiates with whom we have spoken for our deep dive of Friday morning, and more controversy is on the horizon concerning two documentaries on Gaza. As for Bob Vylan, they were abandoned by UTA by Scoop de Jake, are under investigation by the British police and have revoked their American visas. The company’s board of directors has taken support of Davie, at least for the moment.

Paramount pays

Trump is making its way: Just to say that the media community has not undertaken the Paramount Global settlement with President Donald Trump. The president had continued the American giant for $ 20 billion for the editing of a 60 minutes Interview with the president of the time Kamala Harris whom CBS News led before the elections. The announcement of a payment of $ 16 million, which was not presented with apology, was greeted by sources within CBS News and was compared to “corruption at sight” by the Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren. By coincidence, the figure is the same amount as Disney paid the president’s team in a defamation case in December, the two payments on the future presidential library of Trump. What criticism has is the idea that Paramount paid for Trump so that the prolonged fusion with Skydance can finally go ahead. The agreement, which given the lack of crossing between companies in most cases, would be agitated by the FCC with little concern, has been with regulators for months, creating enormous uncertainty within the company. Paramount has categorically denied that the two problems were linked and that the agreement came with a sweetener to provide Trump more public service announcements in his networks. CBS bosses have urged their staff to see payment as a new start, but it looks like a difficult sale. There remains a lot of concern about the impact on the short story room. Many orgs of Press Freedom have exploded the agreement, and it is planned that new proceedings that dispute it will be filed. As we revealed a week ago from the United Kingdom, the layoffs continue in Paramount in the conclusion of the closing of the Skydance agreement and this new agreement will not help morale in an entertainment giant under fire. Our political editor Ted Johnson had more on the Paramount-Skydance saga following the Trump agreement here.

The Corden campus loses the support

Cain not capable: Bad news for Fulwell Entertainment. The northeast studio of England that Fulwell defends, Crown Works Studios, has lost its main donor this week. Cain International withdrew the 450 million pounds Sterling project ($ 620 million) without providing any reason. Given Fulwell’s dedication to the Snderland region-Remember the Netflix Doc series and that its name is a tribute to a stand in the old house of Sunderland AFC-it will hurt, in particular for a number of original Fulwell partners who are from the region and want to see it become a key production center in the United Kingdom. A fee of 300 million pounds sterling will be required in the private investment now that Cain has abandoned, casting a doubt on the project unless another party manifests. Fulwell himself is not short of money after the Mega-Méga-Fusion between Fulwell 73 and the legend of basketball LeBron James’ Springhill Entertainment, with news that the pair had collected $ 40 million from existing investors to build an emerging scale last November. They will need a little more if they want the Crown studios to assume the mantle of the first place of production in the Northeast, although Fulwell stressed that it was pressure and that the advice is looking for private investments. There is a lot of competition in the United Kingdom, with the most recent Ulster studios to open its doors. A government decision on Marlow’s cinema studios supported by James Cameron is also approaching, with a major report that should be subject to half this month.

The German moment of Gillian

Munich missives: Gillian Anderson was emotional when she won her Cinemerit prize at the Munich Film Festival this week. Note “a little a hermit” which was “a little a hole”, she said that she felt “incredibly honored” to collect the prize. As Stewart reported, people were certainly paying attention to the Deutsches Theater, where Anderson’s film The Salt Chemin was screening. Several X-Files Fans were delighted when she explained how the passage of time had changed her point of view on her emblematic role as agent of the FBI Dana Scully. “It’s … because it was such a whirlwind for me,” she said. “It seemed to be too important to appropriate at the time.” Elsewhere, the artistic directors of the festival explained to us how things happened this year and where things are heading – and Uta Briesewitz, director of Dryer, the wheel of time,, Black mirror And more, gave the Munich crowd a masterclass and hung them in the way of entering Hollywood. Deadline hosted this one. No more coverage from Munich here.

Turkish rupture

I am so “series”: This week’s global escape took us to Türkiye, where Stewart interviewed the team behind Coeurs valleyThe last drama of Tims & B prolific producers. Located in the landscapes of another world of Cappadocia, famous for the hundreds of hot air balloons who regularly take her sky, the television series follows a mother (ECE USLU), confronted with her adult twin children, played by Aras Aydın and Hafsanur Sancaktutan, after having abandoned a young age and married a man from Burak de Watery. Several other factors complicate things, helping the Wrier Yıldız Tunç to create a new turn on the Turkish drama “Dizi”. International sales will undoubtedly follow for the distributor Inter Medya, with a Turkish drama among the safest bets on the market at the moment. “As if by magic, the Turkish television industry somehow manages to go through all these obstacles,” said Selin Arat, World Director of Tims Group. I feel so dizi that I need to sit down. Complete story here.
