Three years into its local production effort in Australia and New Zealand, Netflix has greenlighted two new series, one feature film and one full-length documentary from Australia.
These are in addition to previously announced renewals of teen series “Heartbreak High” and “Surviving Summer” and the go-ahead for prestige book-to-series adaptation “Boy Swallows Universe” and kids animation “Eddie’s Lil Homies.”
Set in the Australian Outback, epic succession tale “Desert King” revolves around billionaire miners, traditional owners, cowboys and desert gangsters fighting over the world’s biggest cattle station the size of Wales. It’s a hot, dusty, sexy Outback Western with guns and helicopters.
It is directed by Greg McLean and created by Tim Lee and Ben Davies, with production by Paul Ranford. The series is a co-production between Easy Tiger and Ronde.

London, Oct 30 (Ians) Graham Potter suffered an unhappy return as he led his Chelsea side to Brighton, just seven weeks after swapping the south-coast club for south-west London.
Brighton won 4-1 to claim their first win under Potter’s replacement, Roberto De Zerbi, with two own goals not helping Chelsea’s cause.
Leandro Trossard fired Brighton in front in the fifth minute before first Ruben Loftus-Cheek and then Trevoh Chalobah turned crosses into their own net to make it 3-0 before halftime, reports Xinhua.
Kai Havertz gave Chelsea hope with a 48th minute shot, but Brighton defended well and Pascal Gross scored Brighton’s fourth goal in second half injury time.
Kevin de Bruyne scored the only goal of the game as Manchester City won 1-0 away to Leicester City to go top of the table ahead of Arsenal’s game on Sunday.

'War Room' movie: The Power of Prayer. The Power of Prayer at the domestic box office: 'War Room' (sort of) beats 'Straight Outta Compton' A miracle was needed for any of this weekend's new entries to beat the sleeper hit of 2015, F. Gary Gray's Straight Outta Compton, at the North American box office. As long as studio estimates are on target, that miracle has (sort of) happened. Praise the Power of Prayer and the Power of Expert Targeted Marketing. “If you haven't started already, pray for this movie,” urges an Evangelical Christian website featuring a War Room promotional giveaway, “that the Holy Spirit would be in abundance at each showing of the film, that hearts would be impressed to pray more than ever and that revival will happen as a result!” Directed by Alex Kendrick and co-written by Kendrick and his brother, Stephen Kendrick, the Power of...

Once again at no. 1, Bennett Miller's Brad Pitt movie Moneyball collected $1.06 million at the North American box office on Tuesday, Oct. 4, according to Box Office Mojo. After falling below the $1 million-per-day mark on Monday, Moneyball managed to once again pass that mark after jumping 24% from the previous day. In fact, nearly every movie on the top-ten chart boasted sharp attendance increases. Co-starring Jonah Hill, Robin Wright, and Chris Pratt, Miller's baseball drama is a strong contender for the 2012 Academy Awards. Directed by Jonathan Levine, and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen, the cancer comedy-drama 50/50 took in $940k at no. 2. Anna Kendrick, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Anjelica Huston co-star. Directed by Charles Martin Smith, and featuring Harry Connick Jr, Ashley Judd, Nathan Gamble, Austin Stowell, and Morgan Freeman, Dolphin Tale pulled in $784k at no. 3. At no. 4, The Lion King 3D added $624k. Originally released in 1994, the Disney blockbuster features...

Directed by Charles Martin Smith, and featuring Harry Connick Jr, Ashley Judd, Nathan Gamble, Austin Stowell, and Morgan Freeman, Dolphin Tale pulled in $611k at no. 3. Down one spot at no.

At no. 3, The Lion King 3D added $10.61m, also below estimates but more than enough for it to remain well ahead of both Mike Nichols' The Graduate and Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park on Box Office Mojo's inflation-adjusted chart of all-time box-office champs. Originally released in 1994, The Lion King features songs by Elton John and Tim Rice, and the voices of Matthew Broderick, James Earl Jones,...

Alex Kendrick, Kevin Downes, Courageous Newcomers Courageous, 50/50, Dream House, and What's Your Number failed to make it to the top three spots at the North American box office on Friday, Sept. 30. Also of note, movie stars — e.g., Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen, Anna Faris, Chris Evans — took the backseat to a Christian Message. Directed by Capote's Bennett Miller and starring Brad Pitt, the baseball drama Moneyball topped the Us/Canada chart, according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. Moneyball, which has for the most part trailed behind The Lion King 3D this past week, grossed $3.85 million (-43% from last Friday). Jonah Hill, Robin Wright, and Chris Pratt co-star.
