Game of Thrones Season seven to begin production this Summer

MUMBAI: Winter is finally here on Game of Thrones and the storyline is moving fast. With Season Six6 having come and gone just like the ‘Winds of Winter’ here in India – short, crisp and long gone, the extensive, dreadful winters in Westeros is just around the corner.

Now that Season Seven is on its way, Casey Bloys, President, HBO Programming, has announced that Game of Thrones will begin shooting the season later this summer. Production of the seven-episode seventh season will be based in Northern Ireland, while additional portions will be filmed in Spain and Iceland, with debut slated for summer 2017 on HBO internationally and Star World Premiere HD in India.

“Now that winter has arrived on Game of Thrones, executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss felt that the storylines of the next season would be better served by starting production a little later than usual, when the weather is changing,” said Bloys. “Instead of the show’s traditional spring debut, we’re moving the debut to summer to accommodate the shooting schedule.”

With that being said, more details about the show have been revealed. The Season Seven directors will include Mark Mylod, Jeremy Podeswa, Matt Shakman and Alan Taylor. Locations for shooting in Spain will include Sevilla, Caceres, Almodovar del Rio, Santiponce, Zumaia and Bermeo.

Last week, Game of Thrones received 23 Primetime Emmy® nominations for its Season 6, the most of any nominee for the third year in a row. For those who missed the exciting last season can catch up S6 on Star World Premiere from Monday to Friday at 11:00 PM.

Digital content shines at 68th Emmy Awards nominations

MUMBAI: Last night, the nominations for the 68th Emmy Awards were announced in Los Angeles amidst the collective ‘ooh’s and ‘aah’s of the world’s entertainment industry. Given the impressive lineup of content that 2015 has produced, it isn’t surprising that all eyes were on who will make it to the list.

Hosted by Television Academy Chairman and CEO Bruce Rosenblum along with Anthony Anderson from the ABC series black-ish and Lauren Graham from Parenthood and the upcoming Netflix revival, Gilmore Girls, the gala event drew in several celebrated faces—from television, Hollywood, and of course the digital world.

“Television dominates the entertainment conversation and is enjoying the most spectacular run in its history with breakthrough creativity, emerging platforms and dynamic new opportunities for our industry’s storytellers,” said Rosenblum. Having said so, one look at the nomination list and see the telling difference digital content has made.

From Game Of Thrones from HBO GO to Veep, to House Of Cards from Netflix – several original web-serieses have repeat mentions on the nomination list in various categories. While Game of Thrones again tallied the most nominations (23), limited series The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story and Fargo received 22 nominations and 18 nominations respectively.

This year’s Drama and Comedy Series nominees include first-timers as well as returning programs to the Emmy competition: black-ish and Master of None are new in the Outstanding Comedy Series category, and Mr. Robot and The Americans in the Outstanding Drama Series competition.

John Oliver fans would be delighted to know that HBO’s flagship variety show, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver too has secured itself nominations in seven categories including Outstanding Directing For A Variety Series and Outstanding Writing For A Variety Series

Other favourites include, previous three-time Emmy winner Laurie Metcalf (for her supporting role on Roseanne) emerged a multiple-nominee: in the lead comedy category for Getting On, as well as for her comedic guest work in The Big Bang Theory and her dramatic guest work in Horace and Pete. Contenders for Outstanding Lead Performer in a Limited Series or Movie category (actor and actress), include twice-nominated Sarah Paulson in The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story (as well as in American Horror Story: Hotel), and first-time nominees Tom Hiddleston in The Night Manager, Courtney B. Vance and Cuba Gooding, Jr. in The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, and Kirsten Dunst in Fargo.

The awards itself has undergone a digital transformation. After fully transitioning to an online voting system last year, the Academy saw a 22 percent increase in participation for this year’s nomination round. Final-round online voting begins August 15.

Bomanbridge Media signs multi-title factual deal with Vietnam’s VTV

MUMBAI: Singapore-based content distribution and production agency Bomanbridge Media is signing a volume agreement with VTV from Vietnam for nature and scientific factual titles coming from producers such as SkyVision, Secuoya, Earth Touch and Peacepoint.

“Bomanbridge is pleased to announce our multi-program deal with partner VTV, the largest free TV broadcaster in Vietnam. These high quality factual shows will certainly educate, enthrall and enlighten their audiences and also bring high viewership to VTV,” said Bomanbridge Media CEO Sonia Fleck.

Some of the titles included in this deal are:

Alert in Deep: Oceans occupy 75% of the surface of our planet and provide us half of our oxygen, much of our food and regulate climate. But something is happening in this blue planet: climate change and human action have altered the game rules. Tour the most significant places on the planet in search of invasive species that colonize habitats that are not theirs and also abusive practices of human beings that are threatening the marine ecosystem. Fisherman in Papua New Guinea still use dynamite as extraction method, razing entire reefs. In the Bahamas, live one of the most devastating colonies of a fish in history: lionfish. But not all are negative symptoms, there is also room for hope. The creation of marine national parks worldwide is achieving satisfactory results in terms of conservation.
Black Mamba: Black mambas are among the most feared creatures in Africa, with a single bite capable of killing 25 adults. Snake expert Simon Keys travels to the humid east coast of South Africa to reveal the secret lives of these formidable reptiles, exploring the myths and providing a unique insight into their behaviour.

Speed Kills (S1 & 2): This series takes dramatic, everyday actions in the animal kingdom, and looks at them at 600 frames a second. On land and sea we uncover the complex physiology of the animals which makes these extraordinary bursts of speed possible.

Untangling Alzheimer’s: In spite of exhaustive studies, no one knows what exactly causes Alzheimer’s – the most deadly form of dementia. But possible new evidence pointing to the roots of Alzheimer’s may now be untangling the mystery. The latest theories and science behind the disease are examined, together with interviews with some of the world’s leading experts on the subject.

In Space: 50 Years of Space Exploration: An in-depth analysis chronicling 50 years of unique achievements in space and exciting developments for the future. “In Space: 50 Years of Space Exploration” will feature the sensational Rosetta Mission, which landed on November 12, 2014 in the first-ever attempt at a soft touchdown on a comet, the 2014 ISS Crew and the upcoming Mercury and planned Mars missions. In 2014 the European Space Agency (ESA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are celebrating their 50-year collaboration for space exploration and technology development with the Rosetta project, a 10-year journey of some seven billion kilometres. With the support of ESA and others, “In Space: 50 Years of Space Exploration” will trace the journey of human spaceflight and space exploration of the last 50 years, as well as private projects like Google’s Lunar X Project and private space travel projects such as Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic and also take a glimpse into BepiColombo spacecraft – Europe’s first future mission to Mercury, as well as the return to the Moon and human space travel to Mars. This documentary will define how space travel has enhanced our knowledge of the universe and the ground-breaking future ahead where the secrets of its origins will be revealed.
