As it prepares to open a fully-staffed office in France and ramp up its investment in local originals, Netflix has unveiled three new documentaries, “Move” (working title), “Gims” (working title), and “Anelka” (working title), and the feature film “Of Earth And Blood” while at Series Mania in Lille.
Announced during a panel with Netflix’s commissioning team, the titles will be launching on Netflix from 2020 and will be available in over 190 countries for the streamers’s 139 million members worldwide.
A documentary series, “Move” portrays six contemporary dance choreographers from totally different backgrounds, ranging from the Spanish flamenco to the vertiginous gaga dance, and from Jamaïcan dancehall to American urban and contemporary dance. “‘Move’ will explore the choreographers’ personal histories, chaotic career paths, convictions and their translation into bodies, gestures, grace, sweat, boldness and determination,” said Netflix in a statement. “Move” is produced by Falabracks and Gaumont.

Apparently, Bryan's booty is so popular that he's actually had to start a "no touching" policy at meet and greets.

Bryan, who displays some pretty impressive butt-shaking dance moves on stage, explains the problem all started back when he was just a rising star.

The Simpsons has pastiched hundreds of movies in its time. From Hitchcock to Kubrick to Disney, we select our top 30 favourites...
The Simpsons has a long history of peppering its stories with pop culture references, and some of the show’s finest gags stem from the world of cinema. These have ranged from the briefest of quotes, to full on shot-for-shot parodies and extended episode-long homages.
Most striking in trying to put this list together was the sheer volume of movie references there are to choose from. In pretty much any given episode of The Simpsons, there are at least a couple, with nods to James Bond, 2001: A Space Odyssey and the work of Alfred Hitchcock proving three of the most regular candidates. The tributes to numerous great horror movies in the show’s Treehouse Of Horror episodes could have been used to fill this list all on their own.

When we left things on Thursday night, Nicole and Christine were sent packing, which wasn't exactly shocking, though maybe we're supposed to be surprised by how close Frankie came to being backdoored. Oh and then we had the introduction of The Reset Button, which will either change the game forever or else not change the game at all. Let's see how things go on Sunday (September 7) and let's see if Jordan accepts Jeff's proposal! 8:04 p.m. Et. We pick up with the hamsters hearing the loud boos that greeted Christine when she stormed out of the House. "That means that we made the right choice," Frankie says. Cody is nervous, because he spent a lot of time cuddling with Christine. And, as we saw, the hamsters were also pondering the newly introduced Reset Button. Caleb, if you'll recall, wanted to touch the button. Frankie was threatening to kill Caleb if he pushed Button.

Grey’s Anatomy opened with a meteorologist forecasting a cloudless 74 degree day, which paradoxically implied that the day would be anything but sunny for the doctors of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Grey's Anatomy Recap
Cristina (Sandra Oh) is getting dressed in Owen’s (Kevin McKidd) trailer after spending another commitment-free night together. She’s in a rush because today is the day she’s finally heading off to Zurich to start her new life. Before heading to the hospital, she needs to stop at the mall to pick up a few things. Though Owen thinks they should say their goodbyes now, she suggests they do it at the hospital to spare any double-goodbye awkwardness.
At the Shepherd household, Derek (Patrick Dempsey) tells Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) that they’ve landed the townhouse in Foggy Bottom and will be all set to move in after some paperwork. Though they’re getting ready to settle down in Washington,...

Based on their outstanding careers forged on international co-productions, 24 up-and-coming players in the European film industry have been selected to take part in European Film Promotion's (Efp) networking platform Producers on the Move. Now in its 15th year, Efp spotlights emerging European producers at the Cannes Film Festival from May 17-19 and helps them embark on successful cooperation with their similarly ambitious Producers on the Move colleagues from all over Europe.
The programas been financially supported by the Media Program (2007-2013) of the European Union and the participating Efp member organizations who each made a careful selection of their national participants according to specific criteria.
The schedule of Producers on the Move includes working sessions, one-to-one speed-dating meetings and various opportunities to exchange knowledge and follow up discussions on future projects. In addition, Efp will be teaming up with the European cultural channel Arte and the pan-European co-production fund Eurimages for Producers on the Move. For the first time, Eurimages has prepared a case study exclusively for Efp's program to be discussed under the direction of Eurimages Executive Director Roberto Olla.
He points out the importance of programs such as Producers on the Move:
“This is the 4th consecutive year that Eurimages is involved with this initiative which perfectly marries our objectives of encouraging co-operation between producers so as to stimulate cinematographic co-productions and of promoting their international distribution. Further to the success of the collaboration at the Cannes Festival, the Eurimages Fund has strengthened its partnership with European Film Promotion through other initiatives which also seek to unite professionals from the European film industry in order to participate in its development on an international level.”
Looking back at previous editions, Efp's programme results each year in several new trans-national co-productions and gives the producers a higher profile in Cannes. For 2013, almost all of the participants are still in contact with one another and 17 co-productions are in development.
One recent success story is the coming-of-age feature The Word, directed by Anna Kazejak and co-produced by two Producers on the Move from 2011, Lukasz Dzieciol(Opus Film, Poland) and Jesper Morthorst (Sf Film Production, Denmark). The film was released in Poland in March after its premiere at the Berlinale in the Generation sidebar.
Currently in post is Dirk Ohm - The Illusionist That Disappeared, directed by Bobbie Peers. The producer Maria Ekerhovd (Mer Film As, Norway), joined forces for this film with her Producers on the Move colleague from 2011, Gian-Piero Ringel (Neue Road Movies, Germany) and the 2010 Producers on the Move, Lizette Jonjic (Migma Film, Sweden). Norway has scheduled the release for September 2014. Ekerhovd and Ringel also worked together for two further projects: Every Thing Will Be Fine by Wim Wenders and the six episodes for Cathedrals of Culture which have been presented at this year’s Berlinale.

The city’s first Film Czar was praised by La Mayor Eric Garcetti today in his inaugural State of the City address. “With the help of my dear friend the late Tom Sherak and Ken Ziffren, who’s continued the fight, we reignited the movement to expand film tax credits in Sacramento,” said the SAG-aftra card carrying politician this evening. A couple of months after Garcetti took office, the former AMPAS president and studio exec was named head of La’s Film Office late last September in an effort to expand and evolve production in the city after years of decline due to runaway production. After Sherak passed away on January 28, heavyweight entertainment lawyer Ziffren was appointed La’s second Film Czar on February 10. “In just nine months, we are changing the landscape—one summer job, one red button, one film production and one balanced budget at a time.” Related: L.

Another installment of The Voice has come to its feel-good conclusion — and all that’s left are the inevitable debates about whether Season 5′s champ will finally be the one to achieve breakout, Clarkson- or Underwood-level success and if Mark Burnett will come to his senses and go all Michonne on those blasted SwayBots between now and next spring. (Forgive them, Father, for they know not how to keep time with the music.)

Chug, chug, chug. The X Factor keeps lurching along despite an embarrassing voting glitch and record-low ratings. And it's doubtful its lackluster, borderline unwatchable Eighties night will help matters.
After last week's clusterfuck that saw all of America's votes thrown out on the very first night viewers had their say, it's hard to feel invested. And since the show had to scrap last week's elimination in favor of a do-over, they unceremoniously tossed Boys category member Carlos Guevara at the beginning of this week's show.

It was an emotional night of highs and lows as a couple with a perfect score got eliminated in the most shocking results show yet. See what happened on the Nov. 11 episode.
Only six couples remained and each couple had to perform two full dances during week nine of Dancing With The Stars. First, they danced as a team and then each couple danced with an eliminated pro or member of the troop for the “trio dance.” We saw two perfect dances — and the most upsetting elimination ever.

Spoiler ahead. Two more dancers have left the competition after the Tuesday, Aug. 20 performance show, which featured host Cat Deeley dressed as a fresh-out-of-the-shower mascara zombie from hell and the season 10 finalists paired up with eight of the most beloved So You Think You Can Dance All-Stars. I’ll post my full recap of tonight’s performances later on (update: here it is!); in the meantime, discuss!

Bon Temps’ winsome wiccan reflects on the ‘season of survival,’ including the ‘surprising’ finale to come.
During the past six years, True Blood fans have seen Holly Clearly wear many different hats: mother, lover, and my personal favorite, wiccan. But this season, she’s also taken on the role of a comforter, helping her loved ones through horrific tragedies — and as we head into the Aug. 18 season finale, Lauren Bowles tells HollywoodLife.com that the tragedies are far from over. “It’s pretty clear this year is the season of survival,” she says. “You really have to band together with your tribe in order to, well, survive.”
Here’s my full interview with Lauren, in which we chat about Sunday’s finale, the biggest deaths of season four, and what’s to come in season seven. (Spoiler alert: Very good things are coming! Very good things!)

Why You’re Feeling Undervalued: The cast of Duck Dynasty will receive $200,00 an episode — each — for the upcoming season.
Best Snacky Bit: When Days Of Our Lives’ ladies gathered for their book club meeting and wound up eating Jj’s drug-laced donuts, wacky chaos ensued.
Most Faux-Traumatized Teen: It seems somehow appropriate that Mad Men’s Kiernan Shipka — aka Sally Draper — has been cast as Cathy in Lifetime’s version of Flowers In The Attic. Even scandal-monger Don Draper would probably be shocked by what happens to Cathy, who winds up sleeping with (and eventually falling for) her own brother!
Who We’re Drinking To This Weekend: Bravo’s Andy Cohen is refusing to co-host the Miss Universe pageant because it will be broadcast from Russia, home of controversial anti-gay laws. Mazel, Andy!
Coolest Song: General Hospital baddie Dr. Obrecht took to the stage on karaoke night to croon the coolest,...

Since the very beginning of cinema, the western genre has provided us with generations of gorgeous backdrops, masculine cowboys and rugged horses. Some of the films we have at our disposal are necessary viewing for anyone wanting to explore history on film; subjects that often included racism, nationalism, loyalty, character, and manhood.
Because the Western has shaped our film landscape as it were, Kevin and I thought we would each share our 6 favourite films in the genre. Enjoy.
Graham’s Picks
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)
Butch Cassidy: Move in slowly, check out everything. The thing to remember…
Sundance Kid: Don’t tell me how to rob a bank. I know how to rob a bank.
Two words to sum up Bcsk would be exciting ride. It’s a classic movie about two friends trying to make it in the world. We seemingly forget their chosen professions (they liked...

Most Shocking Plot Twist: Just when we had begun to bemoan the surprising lack of plot twists during this third season of Game Of Thrones came a wedding to remember. One that gave new meaning to Cersei Lannister’s words, “When you play the game of thrones you win or you die. There is no middle ground.”
Coolest Fandom: The only thing more shocking than Game Of Thrones “red wedding” was the job those fortunate enough to have already read the source material have done when it comes to keeping their traps shut. Seriously. Us non-book readers salute you!
Coolest Campaign: A Kickstarter campaign was launched — pun intended — with the goal of raising enough money to put a Tardis in space. Those asking what a Tardis is just lost major cool points in our eyes.
Worst Role Models: The women on Pretty Wicked Moms are so awful it could...

Taylor Swift isn’t the only one who uses her songs to get revenge! In a new song from The Great Gatsby soundtrack, Jay-z calls the 23-year-old singer out!
Jay-z Disses Taylor Swift In New ‘Great Gatsby’ Song
In the song, Jay-z implies that people tell celebrities to behave, but they don’t have to because of the amount of money they have. He raps, “That cheese made us constipated couldn’t tell us s**t.
Then, Jay-z takes a major stab at Taylor! He says, “Took that, Taylor Swift to a hundred f**king million, b***h,” referring to the incident where Kanye West stole the microphone from Taylor at the 2009 MTV Music Awards. Jay-z is saying Kanye became famous for dissing Taylor,...

With a score by Cyndi Lauper and a book crafted by Harvey Fierstein, Kinky Boots seemed designed in a lab to be a Broadway smash. And in fact, it has lived up to that billing: Last week, it topped over $1 million in receipts, joining some rare company on the current theater landscape.The music is exceptional, but a healthy portion of the show’s success has rested on the shoulders of the two leads, whose performance prowess and on-stage chemistry have made them into Broadway’s best new duo.”The director said, ‘I’d like you to be in this musical,...

Most Fitting Finale: Hats off to Tina Fey and Co. for wrapping up 30 Rock’s seven season run on an absurdly hilarious and surprising heartfelt note.
Most Manipulative: We all know The Bachelor’s bitchy Tierra doesn’t have a shot at walking away with Sean’s heart… and so does she. But that doesn’t mean she’s not willing to let herself be portrayed in the worst possible light in exchange for her 15 minutes of fame.
Most Shameless: In what some have called a desperate ratings stunt, this week’s episode of Glee saw the writer’s shamelessly take advantage of its most eye-pleasing collection of student bodies to date by forcing the cast to strip down to raise money so that New Directions could compete at Regionals. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
Least Eloquent Response: Upon learning that folks were petitioning to have him...
