New Zealand-set detective Series “A Remarkable Place to Die” is being launched by Banijay Rights at the London Screenings.
The 4 x 90’ murder mystery was created by Screentime New Zealand and is co-produced with Real Film Berlin in association with Banijay Rights.
Smart and savvy detective Anais Mallory (portrayed by Chelsie Preston-Crayford) returns to her hometown, Queenstown, in South Island, New Zealand and is met with a series of startlingly different homicides. She has to crack the cases while also picking her way through a backdrop of past ghosts.
(The play on words in the title is a reference to the mountain range surrounding Queenstown, known as The Remarkables, which in summer offer multiple outdoor sports and in winter provide excellent skiing.)
Among the names from her past are Mallory’s ex-fiancé Luke (Charles Jazz Terrier), now married to her former-best friend (Indiana Evans), her brittle, volatile but loving mother (Rebecca Gibney), and a handsome pathologist.

"We're in Hair Camp, and you're out flirting with hot royalty." Netflix has unveiled the official trailer for another sappy romantic comedy called The Royal Treatment. Which just copies so many other romcom stories with "what if she could be a princess by marrying this guy?!" Been there, done that, this isn't new, yet they keep making these. New York hairdresser Izzy, played by Laura Marano, seizes the chance to work at the wedding of a charming prince, but when sparks between them fly, will love — or duty — prevail? She and Prince Thomas learn that taking control of their own destiny requires following their hearts. The full cast includes Mena Massoud (from Aladdin!), Chelsie Preston Crayford, Grace Bentley-Tsibuah, and Cameron Rhodes. Looks like yet another extra cheesy Hallmark holiday special that Netflix scooped up. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Rick Jacobson's The Royal Treatment, from Netflix's YouTube:...

New releases Dream Horse and Spirit Untamed failed to make a major dent in the box office over the weekend, with audiences continuing to flock to The Conjuring 3, A Quiet Place Part II and Cruella.
In Melbourne, cinemagoers were treated to all the aforementioned titles for the first time, with results suggesting some pent up demand. Cinemas reopened on Friday following more than two weeks of lockdown, albeit under restriction – theatres can only reopen up to 25 per cent of capacity, or 50 people per venue.
Dream Horse, starring Toni Collette and Damian Lewis, follows the true story of Dream Alliance, an unlikely racehorse bred by small-town bartender Jan Vokes. The drama bowed on a reasonable $684,875 for Sony (Thursday-Sunday) from 301 screens, and with previews is on $771,581.
Close behind was Dreamworks/Universal’s animated feature Spirit Untamed, the second film in the franchise, which amassed a respectable $663,711 from 234, taking it to $1.3 million with previews.

"We wouldn't be gangsters if we always did what we were told..." Quiver Distribution has debuted a new official US trailer for the New Zealand gang drama Savage, which originally premiered at the London Film Festival last year. We also posted the original Nz trailer a few months ago before its release there. Inspired by the true stories of New Zealand's street gangs across 30 years, Savage follows Danny at three defining moments in his life as he grows from a boy into the violent enforcer of a gang in New Zealand. "Danny and Moses, who were both raised on the streets, shuffled through New Zealand's juvenile justice system, and ultimately became high-ranking members of an infamous Maori street gang -- despite the fact that Danny is white." Starring Jake Ryan as Danny, and John Tui as Moses, along with Chelsie Preston Crayford and Olly Presling. This looks gritty and intense,...

Well, it looks like Ash vs Evil Dead has been cancelled, it is kind of fitting that this news coincided with the episode Judgement Day. With the Deadites on the attack, can Ash (Bruce Campbell) defeat Ruby (Lucy Lawless) once and for all?
With Ash and Brandy (Arielle Carver O’Neill) back from the rift, Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo) finds herself still trapped. Ash goes off to find Ruby and Kelly’s possessed body, while all kinds of evil starts to erupt onto the streets.
Judgement Day is setting up the big finale of not only this season of Ash vs Evil Dead, but also the show itself. There is a feel of the apocalypse as Ruby’s time finally runs out, and we get a fleeting glance at who Kaya (Chelsie Preston Crayford) actually is. If anything, this is another episode where the show is closing a few storylines to...

Love it or hate it Twilight did a lot of damage for the vampire in pop culture. When the movies were finally over and done with and we were free of the scourge of the sparkly ones, the bloodsuckers stayed somewhat in the shadows, though recently making a comeback with good movies like Only Lovers Left Alive. With that spark of life given to the undead fiends, what they now need is a good injection of the red stuff to truly bring them back to glory.

Before bestowing its international awards in La on Saturday, the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts handed out trophies for homegrown titles in Sydney on Thursday. In a rare, but not unprecedented turn of events, the Best Film prize was a split. Both from first-time helmers, Russell Crowe’s The Water Diviner and Jennifer Kent’s The Babadook shared the win. Kent also took home the Best Directing trophy — Crowe was not nominated in the category.
The Water Diviner, released by Universal locally, was the most successful Australian film of 2014 and also earned a prize for Supporting Actor Yilmaz Erdogan. Horror pic The Babadook, which also scooped Best Original Screenplay, was previously honored by the New York Film Critics Circle with the Best First Film prize.

In a minor controversy leading up to this unexpected win, while testing its new IPad application the Herald Sun experienced a technical glitch, leading to the publishing of a link to an embargoed press release containing Logies winners an hour prior to the Gold Logie being officially announced during Channel Nine.s coverage.
The link was killed immediately, but not before Google picked it up. In the split second it was available, lucky net-trawlers picked it up and leaked it onto Facebook and Twitter,...

Underbelly: Razor's Danielle Cormack has revealed that her boyfriend is 19 years younger than her. The 40-year-old New Zealand actress, who stars alongside Chelsie Preston Crayford in the latest series of the Australian crime drama, said that she had "chemistry" with 21-year-old Pana Hema-Taylor as soon as they met each other two years ago. Cormack told Woman's Day magazine: "There was undeniable chemistry from the start, but at the time I didn't feel it was appropriate to act on it. Pana is so charismatic. He's the sort of person who's magnetic to other people - they want to be around him. I was aware of that and then, for that to be directed at me - wow!" Actor Hema-Taylor said that he "couldn't help but stare" at Cormack because she is so "beautiful" and knew that they (more)...

The two leading ladies from Underbelly: Razor have revealed that they "empathise" with the women they are portraying. Chelsie Preston Crayford and Danielle Cormack, who play brothel owner Tilly Devine and vice queen Kate Leigh respectively in the Australian crime series, said that both women had "hard" lives that made them follow such "terrible" paths. Preston Crayford told New Idea magazine: "[Tilly] did terrible things - but my job as an actress isn't to judge, it's to empathise with her so I can bring Tilly to life as vividly as possible. "Tilly was a girl of the London slums. Her major motivation in life was class - she started on the bottom rung in abject poverty and didn't rest until she was at the very top and sitting pretty." Cormack added that she went to visit (more)...

The latest series of Underbelly has been slammed by child experts. Underbelly Razor, which stars Chelsie Preston Crayford and Danielle Cormack, has been labelled too "explicit" after research from Fusion Strategy found that 79,000 boys aged 0 to 15 and 67,000 girls aged 0 to 15 watched the brutal first episode of the crime drama. The fourth season of the Australian show tells the story of the underworld gang wars in Sydney in the 1920s and features graphic sex scenes, murder, weapons, drug-taking, prostitution and domestic violence.

Danielle Cormack and Chelsie Preston Crayford from Underbelly have opened up about their friendship. The two actresses from New Zealand, who play arch enemies Tilly Devine and Kate Leigh in the fourth series of the Australian crime drama, actually auditioned together for the roles because they already knew each other well from co-starring in The Cult. Crayford told National Features: "It's been really fun and interesting to portray a relationship like [Kate and Tilly's]. It's actually like a heightened version of a common female dynamic - that competitiveness and addiction to one another. They can't live with each other, but they can't live without each other. "[Danielle and I] actually (more)...

Chelsie Preston Crayford has revealed that she used Amy Winehouse as creative inspiration. The actress, who plays crime queen Tilly Devine in the latest series of Australian TV drama Underbelly, said that she based her audition for the role on old footage of Winehouse's interviews. Crayford told National Features: "When I auditioned, I didn't really know where to begin. There wasn't any audio recording, but I imagined Tilly had a really low voice and I don't, sadly. So I watched a whole lot of Amy Winehouse interviews and based my audition on that. I felt like Amy really embraced this brash, doesn't-give-a-toss-what-people-think, ballsy attitude." The star added that she hopes that viewers see beyond her character's brassy front to catch a glimpse of her soft side, saying: "That's what human beings are (more)...

For the fourth series of Underbelly, we’re taken back to the mean streets of the 1920-30s when Darlinghurst was nicknamed ‘Razorhurst’ and two women ruled the streets. Colin Delaney steps back in time.
It wasn’t too hard to make Sydney’s Eveleigh St. terraces and Redfern’s infamous ‘block’ look run down and dilapidated. But build a couple of extra facades, roll in some beautiful old cars, bring in a few kids with grubby faces plus a few loitering, rugged old chaps and you’re thrown back to Darlinghurst in the hell-raising ‘20s. Gentrification has taken a turn for the worse: this is Underbelly: Razor.
This new Underbelly series is the true story set in the 1920s and ‘30s when madams Kate Leigh (Danielle Cormack) and Tilly Divine (Chelsie Preston Crayford) were bitter rivals and running all types of the vice on the streets of Sydney.
