    Stay Vigil And Beware Of The Monsters Around You As Zee Café Brings ‘Penny Dreadful: City Of Angels’

    Mumbai: You have seen her manipulative and cunning side as Margaery Tyrell in Game Of Thrones, now watch her raise hell, quite literally, in ‘Penny Dreadful: City Of Angels.’ Natalie Dormer returns, this time deadlier than ever before as fierce demoness Magda in this magnetic and chilling tale that will set your TV screens ablaze. Premiering on Friday, July 10, 2020 weeknights at 10 as part of Zee Café’s weeknights block ‘Mystery Café’, the show, a spin-off to Penny Dreadful, is a gripping exploration of darkness and light. Created by the three-time Academy Award-nominee for ‘Gladiator’, ‘The Aviator’ and ‘Hugo’ – John Logan, the horror historical drama features a stellar cast comprising the ‘Don’t Breathe’ and ‘It Follows’ actor Daniel Zovatto, the ‘Halt’ and ‘Catch Fire’ fame Kerry Bishé and the actor known for ‘The Imitation Game’ Rory Kinnear among others.

    After back-to-back thrilling series like ‘Nancy Drew’ and ‘Evil’ on Mystery Café, here’s another drama that is sure bring you the chills! Set against the backdrop of 1930s Los Angeles amid the Golden Age Of Hollywood, Penny Dreadful: City Of Angels revolves around the Vega family and the deep-rooted horrors that form the cornerstone of a city brimming with deeply infused with Mexican-American folklore and social tension. The dark fantasy opens with a grisly murder that traumatizes the city and pulls Detective Tiago Vega (Daniel Zovatto) and his partner Lewis Michener (Nathan Lane) into the death-defying case. Before long, Tiago and his family are grappling with powerful forces that threaten to tear them apart. While on one side we have the Mexican folklore saint – Santa Muerte (Lorenza Izzo), a guide to the great beyond, the other sees her spiritual sister, the demoness Magda, who believes mankind is inherently evil and committed to let the world burn! All it takes for Magda is soft whispers to bring the City of Angels to destruction.

    Amid radical policing, the looming threat of war, and Nazi conspiracies that threaten to derail the Vegas, what follows is a classic good vs evil encounter. Only this time, will good triumph all evil?

  • Disruptions are a necessary evil

    Disruptions are a necessary evil

    CANNES: We live in times of fast changing technology where more often than not, the only way to keep pace is to unlearn what we’ve just learnt and re-adapt ourselves to the transformation.

    Exactly the point Deluxe Media Europe senior director, sales and business development Darren Baker was trying to drive home when he said: “Every time you think you have learnt everything, you have to adapt and learn again. The need is to adapt quickly and learn again.”

    Baker was addressing a gathering at Verriere Grand Audi Level one at the Palais on day two of Mipcom.

    “The important thing is to learn quickly and react to the disruption,” he further stressed.  
    Referring to cinema, TV, VCR, DVD, BluRay and now VOD as techniques used for disruptions, Baker said that while the disruptive nature of some technological shifts was immediately evident, in other cases, it became clear only through tracking the patterns of adoption.

    Speaking of one too many portals in the content supply chain, he said: “The consumer wants the content, the content provider wants to provide the content and the portals are ready to carry them. But then there are too many contracts. There needs to be a disruption here.”

    Not just portals, he also pointed out that there are just too many schemes and updates. “By the time the consumer is happy that they have got all the programmes, the portal updates its software and the consumer has to change the entire system yet again,” he said.

    In his view, the proliferation of vendors too posed a problem. “If you have a large number of vendors, you should reduce them,” he advised buyers.

    Offering his take on successful disruptions, he said: “There is a need for constant improvement in every company. A fresh approach is always welcome and refreshing the digital policy every few months also helps,” adding that with every four year old ignoring television and moving towards mobile and social media, “companies need to be open to disruptions”.
