    Peyton Reed to adapt ‘The Fifth Beatle’

    MUMBAI: Peyton Reed, who directed Bring it On will adapt the best-selling graphic novel, The Fifth Beatle that chronicles the final years of Beatles manager Brian Epstein.

    The graphic novel that released recently has been on the New York Times best-selling list and recounts the story of Epstein, the visionary who discovered The Beatles and helped guide the band to international stardom. Epstein also secured the band’s first record deal at a time when no one else was interested.

     

    The movie will be produced by Oscar winner Bruce Cohen and Vivek J. Tiwary, who has written the graphic novel. Tiwary is also writing the screenplay. The production of the film is slated to begin in 2014.  

  • Three million homes have no CBS service via TWC

    Three million homes have no CBS service via TWC

    MUMBAI: As Time Warner Cable and CBS continue their negotiating deadlock, Starcom MediaVest researcher Sam Armando has discovered how widespread the blackouts are individually in the New York, Los Angeles and Dallas markets. TWC has refused to make the figures available.

     

    Armando writes in a blog post that 17 per cent of homes in both New York and Dallas are without the local CBS station, while the figure climbs to 26 per cent in the Los Angeles market.

     

    On a national level, the number of homes with CBS-owned local stations blacked out is around 3.2 million, according to CBS. Showtime is off the air across TWC’s national footprint, as TWC and CBS continue to battle over terms of re-upping a carriage deal. The blackouts started 2 August.

     

    CBS has called on talent to encourage TWC customers to switch providers and on Monday brought the Manning brothers into the fold. A newspaper ad in New York might suggest CBS thinks the blackouts could continue until 15 September.

     

    “You could miss this historic matchup,” the ad reads, referring to the New York Giants vs. Denver Broncos game on that Sunday, with Peyton and Eli Manning facing off.

     

    The ad also suggests viewers could miss the much-anticipated college game between Alabama and Texas A&M on 14 September “featuring Heisman winner Johnny Manziel.” That copy could become moot any day now as Manziel is under NCAA investigation for receiving payments for his autograph; he could be suspended for the game.

    Star World to screen ‘One Tree Hill’

    MUMBAI: Starting 4 July, One Tree Hill will debut on Star World at 9 pm. Television shows with dark secrets has always been a strong suit for any channel.

    Besides a love for hoops, the story of One Tree Hill revolves around Lucas and Nathan. The two young men with little in common – except for the dark secret that they share, the same father.

    Directed by Brian Robbins, the show sketches Nathan Scott having the perfect life, thanks to the perks his rich father provides. He has the girl, the car and the star position on the high school basketball team. On the other side of town, his half-brother, Lucas Scott, an intense loner ignored by Nathan’s father since birth, has a different story to tell. He’s always kept his distance from Nathan.

    Their lives were taking separate paths until the day Lucas was asked to join the basketball team. Now, the half-brothers are battling it out for control of the court and for the hearts of the three young women who are fast becoming an intricate part of both their worlds, Peyton, Haley and Brooke. And, so unfolds a deep and bitter conflict that’s been years in the making.

    But the half-brothers are destined to be brought back together in One Tree Hill to confront the aftermath of their shared pasts.
