French sales powerhouse company Wild Bunch International (Wbi) and Studiocanal UK have embarked on a legal battle in the U.K. High Court over rights to Studio Ghibli films in the territory.
Studiocanal UK has taken issue with the 2019 Netflix deal brokered by Wbi giving the platform worldwide streaming rights to much of the Studio Ghibli catalogue.
In a legal claim filed on November 3, the company says the accord had impacted its ability to exploit 15 Studio Ghibli titles in the U.K., included in a home entertainment deal signed in 2015, and renewed in 2017.
The 2019 Netflix deal for worldwide rights (excluding North America and Japan) to 21 Studio Ghibli titles was seen as ground-breaking at that time.
Up until that point, Studio Ghibli films had only been available theatrically and then via DVD, Blu-Ray, or terrestrial broadcast, because co-founders Hayao Miyazaki, late Isao Takahata and Toshio Suzuki had refused to sell the digital rights on a territory-by-territory basis.

A new feature documentary backed by Red Bull will examine the historic journey of the first human-powered aircraft to fly the English Channel.
“The Flight of Bryan,” which is being introduced to buyers by Altitude Film Sales at this week’s American Film Market, tells the true story of self-taught U.S. hang glider pilot Bryan Allen, who flew his pedal-powered aircraft, the Gossamer Albatross, across the waterway connecting Britain and France in 1979.
The journey came two years after Allen made his first human-powered aircraft flight in Shafter, California, piloting his airplane to a speed of roughly 11 miles per hour and producing just under 0.5 horsepower.
The film, which is in post-production, is directed by James Erskine, who previously collaborated with Altitude on “Billie,” a 2019 documentary about American singer Billie Holliday.
The pic is produced by Alex Holmes, Victoria Gregory, Sean Sorenson, Philip Manderla and Adele Reeves.

Altitude has picked up international sales and UK and Irish distribution rights to Mad About the Boy — The Noël Coward Story, a feature documentary about the life of Noël Coward from Barnaby Thompson (St. Trinian’s).
The doc is billed as an exploration of Coward’s expansive career which features credits across the stage and screen, including Brief Encounter, Blithe Spirit, and Private Lives.
Adam Lambert will sing the film’s theme song, an updated cover of Coward’s 1930’s single Mad About The Boy, which will be released on 7 October. The song was produced by Amanda Ghost and Johnny Coffer.
“Noël Coward was a fascinating character. He invented the modern Englishman – witty, sophisticated, and stylish – but was born poor and left school when he was 9,” Thompson said. “He was a sex symbol who was queer in a very straight world and he was exiled from the country he came to define.

Will Clarke be able to prevent all-out war between the Sky People and Roan's Ice Nation army?
After the events of The 100 Season 4 Episode 4, it seemed that a fight between the grounders and Skaikru was virtually unavoidable. Echo had successfully convinced Roan that Clarke and the others were working against him, only hoping to ensure the survival of their own.
In reality, of course, Clarke, Abby, and the others were desperately looking for a way to save everyone – grounders and Sky People alike.
When "The Tinder Box" picks up, it appears that Roan is leading a march on Arkadia, seeking to take it for his own safe haven during the oncoming nuclear apocalypse. He's even brought along Kane and Bellamy as his prisoners, in an effort to force Clarke to give up their shelter. Will everyone make it out unscathed?

The weight of the world is on Clarke Griffin's shoulders yet again.
When The 100 Season 4 Episode 1 picked up, mere moments had passed since the conclusion of The 100 Season 3 Finale. The season-long foe had been successfully defeated – but not before Commander Ontari was killed and Alie had imparted some disturbing information about the fate of mankind.

Check out their thoughts, and chime in with your own by leaving us a comment below. Be sure to tune in for The 100 Season 4 Episode 2 on Wednesday, February 8th at 9/8c on The CW.
Roan is now (~tentatively~) in charge of the grounder coalition and demanded peace with the Sky People. How does this bode for everyone? And will it last?

From Optimum Releasing to Paddington and Legend, Studiocanal is now the UK’s biggest indie producer-distributor. Screen speaks to CEO Danny Perkins.
In 1999, the year Danny Perkins, Will Clarke and Paul Higgins launched Optimum Releasing, they set out their stall as smart, nimble new operators in the UK distribution arena by re-releasing black-and-white British classic The Third Man (a Studiocanal film) opposite the George Lucas juggernaut Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.
Fast forward to 2016: Studiocanal UK (whose French parent Studiocanal, the subsidiary of pay TV giant Canal Plus, purchased Optimum in 2006) has assumed the mantle of the UK’s largest non-studio producer-distributor.
Off the back of huge successes including Paddington and Legend, it now finds itself entrusted with delivering the key building blocks of corporate owner Vivendi’s content strategy.
“A lot of the core values are still there,” Studiocanal UK CEO Perkins tells Screen of the heady journey from scrappy newcomer to cornerstone...
