Another sports and cultural icon is getting a scripted series based on their life, this time at Amazon. I can't think of anyone more deserving than Mohamed Ali for this type of ongoing series. An American sports version of THE CROWN. It feels like the dominance of sports documentaries and live sport...

Dan MaxXx - I would watch a Jackie Robinson series immediately!!! I hope that happens!
Shaq, Sam Sokolow.
So much to unpack here. Sports tragedy as TV drama - I can't think of anyone better than Ryan Murphy for this. The documentary was riveting so I will definitely tune in. Tony Award winner Norbert Leo Butz is inspired casting as Bill Belichek.
Will this launch a whole new franchise for Murphy? What s...

If you're a huge Spaghetti Western fan like me this is gigantic news. Remakes are hit or miss and this is a true classic. I can't wait to hear who they cast to play Joe (Clint's character). And who is going to do the music? And play Ramón? Or Marisol? My head is spinning. Are there any classic weste...

A $300 million budget is pretty hefty - that's Avatar area - but this feels like a must-watch film and Apple is taking another big swing. Bruckheimer-Kosinski-Pitt is high voltage. I can't wait for this. What are your thoughts? https://deadline.com/2024/07/jerry-bruckheimer-joseph-kosinski-f1-movie-...

I was like "whoa!" when I saw the budget, Sam Sokolow. I think a F1 movie needs a huge budget though. But like Jerry Bruckheimer said in the article, there are things that lower the budget....

The first thing that struck me is that F1 car drivers (TV-Stars) are much younger than Pitt. F1 has a huge following but I am not sure Pitt has enough starpower to pull the mass into the cinemas.
The governments in many countries tries to attract foreign filmmakers. Attract those who have money. Except for tax incentives, what would encourage you to film abroad?

When shooting in any foreign country a few things are taken into consideration. What are the requirements for the script/story? Is there a good crew base (meaning can I fully crew/staff a movie), or d...

I agree with Lindbergh E Hollingsworth - a great crew base that knows how to team with creative leads to make a high quality film is the biggest pairing with a tax incentive that I can think of....

You can have a weather insurrance in the Netherlands. For me filming abroad is all about locations - and how will they add to the story. I would never go abroad for money being the prime incentive, its creative business.
Dear friends, your comments are very interesting. Anyone who wants to add anything more?

That's cool, Joshua Van ’t Hoff I love action/comedy! I write in that lane quite a bit. I'm currently busy with a pair of feature drama projects. Jeff Buckley is a music biopic of the iconic 90s singe...
