Patrick Somerville, showrunner of HBO Max’s limited series Station Eleven, has addressed the issue of shows disappearing from the Warner Bros. Discovery streamer.
“TV world is very weird right now,” the writer and producer noted in a social media thread that highlights the topic from a creator’s perspective.
It follows the HBO Max slate review that led to shows such as Westworld, The Nevers and Love Life being pulled from the streamer as well as the cancellation of shows such as Minx, which had been renewed for a second season.
Somerville said that a DVD of his Paramount TV Studios-produced series was now available even if the creative team had been “caught off guard” by its appearance.
“The only way to really ensure shows remain available is that they generate too much interest (and completion) for anyone to justify removing them,” he tweeted. “If you take anything from this thread,...

In a first-look clip from the special, which you can watch below, an “average British citizen,” played by Morgan, shares her experience with online dating during the pandemic. “I got on quite well with one of them,” says the character. “We even had a cuddle.” The scene then cuts to the pair on a virtual date over Zoom, awkwardly leaning towards their computers.
“Death to 2021” is executive produced by Annabel Jones and Ben Caudell. Nick Vaughan-Smith produces, and Jack Clough and Josh Ruben direct. The special was written by Caudell.

"You don't care what we do. It's me you want." Music Box Films has unveiled an official US trailer for the François Ozon film called Summer of 85, also know as Été 85 originally in French. We already posted two trailers last year for this film, which was initially a part of the official selection at the 2020 Cannes Film Festival before it was cancelled. Summer of 85 is about a 16-year-old boy experiencing love and death and romance and more while living in a seaside resort in Normandy in the 80s. The film stars Félix Lefebvre, Benjamin Voisin, Philippine Velge, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, & Melvil Poupaud. Take a peek if you dare. This is a super wacky, super strange film, even for Ozon, and it's not exactly the charming love story you might think from the marketing. Arriving in select theaters in the US to kick off the summer - of course.

With young actors there’s just a little something that makes them stand out, and it’s often hard to put into words quite what that is, but all the great stars have it, a spark of some sort. With Philippine Velge it’s there for all to see, with an impressive turn in prolific French auteur Francois Ozon’s latest film Summer of 85, as a promising career in the industry beckons for the young Belgian-British performer.
We had the pleasure of speaking to her via Zoom to mark the release, and to discuss what it was like to collaborate with the director, and also how important it is for her at this stage in her career to show off her ability to work both in France, as well as in England in her native tongue.

"Lean into the movement. Let yourself go." Playtime has released a full-length trailer for French filmmaker François Ozon's film Été 85, which translates to Summer of 85 (the official English title for the film). We featured a short teaser trailer a few weeks ago after the film was announced as an official selection at the 2020 Cannes Film Festival (which is not happening this year anyway).. Summer of 85 is about a 16-year-old boy experiencing love and death and romance and more while living in a seaside resort in Normandy in the 80s. The film stars Félix Lefebvre, Benjamin Voisin, Philippine Velge, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, & Melvil Poupaud. This really, really looks like Xavier Dolan remade Call Me By Your Name in France, as it has all the same moments in the 80s between two boys who fall for each other one summer. Still looks good!

François Ozon is returning with a queer romance that, judging by the first trailer, may resonate with fans of Call Me By Your Name with its sun-kissed European locale and a summer of love. Summer of 85 (Été ’85) marks the first official selection at Cannes to be released theatrically in France, arriving on July 14th, 2020, with hopefully a U.S. release to follow, pending distribution.
Set in, of course, 1985, the story follows sixteen-year-old Alexis (Félix Lefebvre) who is heroically saved by eighteen-year-old David (Benjamin Voisin) of the coast of Le Tréport. A connection that straddles the line between friendship and love is created as Alexis believes he has found the man of his dreams. The connection is tested by the arrival of a girl named Kate (Philippine Velge) who is thrown into the mix.

The queer romance, set in 1985, boasts a killer soundtrack including The Cure and Bananarama, gorgeous cinematography, a coastal setting, striped T-shirts, and, of course, a beautiful cast, led by French cinema favorites Félix Lefebvre, Benjamin Voisin, Philippine Velge, Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi, Melvil Poupaud, and Isabelle Nanty. Check out the latest international trailer below.
“Summer of 85” was originally set to world-premiere as part of the (canceled) 2020 Cannes Film Festival competition lineup. It’ll still carry the festival branding as it rolls out in French theaters beginning July 14, as with other would’ve-been competition films including Wes Anderson’s “The French Dispatch,” Naomi Kawase’s “True Mothers,” Francis Lee’s own queer romance “Ammonite,” and many more.

"The summer holidays are just beginning..." Diaphana has debuted a short promo teaser trailer for French filmmaker François Ozon's new film titled Été 85, which translates to Summer of 85 (the official English title for the film). This was recently announced this week as an official selection at the 2020 Cannes Film Festival, which means it would've premiered there but will now just play in cinemas later this year. Summer of 85 is about a 16-year-old boy experiencing love and death and romance and more while living in a seaside resort in Normandy in the 80s. Starring Félix Lefebvre, Benjamin Voisin, Philippine Velge, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, and Melvil Poupaud.

Here's the first French teaser trailer for François Ozon's Summer of 85,...

Exclusive: Nabhaan Rizwan (1917) and Philippine Velge (Ete ’85) are set as series regulars in HBO Max’s Station Eleven, a 10-episode post-apocalyptic limited drama series based on the international bestseller by Emily St. John Mandel, from Maniac creator Patrick Somerville and Paramount TV Studios.
Written and executive produced by Somerville, Station Eleven is a post-apocalyptic saga spanning multiple timelines. It tells the stories of survivors of a devastating flu as they attempt to rebuild and reimagine the world anew while holding on to the best of what’s been lost.

Velge will portray Alexandra, a member of the Traveling Symphony too young to remember what the world was like before the Georgia Flu.
They join previously announced series regulars Mackenzie Davis, Himesh Patel, David Wilmot and Matilda Lawler.
Somerville also will serve as showrunner.
