"We got one job to do right now - just get through it for them." Apple has unveiled a trailer for the thriller series Hijack. Much like the movie Plane from earlier this year, this remarkably simple title does indeed hint that the series is about a hijacking on a plane. Because, you know, what else could you call a hijacking thriller other than just Hijack? Told in real time, this tense thriller follows the journey of a hijacked plane as it makes its way to London over a seven-hour flight, and as authorities on the ground scramble for answers. Starring and executive produced by SAG Award winner and Emmy Award nominee Idris Elba, Hijack was created by George Kay ("Lupin") and Jim Field Smith.

It’s Passenger 57 meets 24. Or perhaps just 24. Idris Elba stars in a new series from AppleTV+ called Hijack. The title pretty much cues you in on the concept. A group of terrorists takes over a seven-hour flight. What they want is not yet revealed, but they have allies on the ground that are helping to make their demands. However, something they didn’t count on is an experienced business negotiator already on the flight. This negotiator, portrayed by Elba, is preparing to deal with them…in more ways than one. The show takes during the events surrounding the seven-hour international flight and will be told in real-time.
The Hollywood Reporter has unveiled details about the new Apple original. “The action takes place in real-time, over the course of the seven-hour flight from Dubai to London. The clock starts ticking as Sam (played by Idris Elba) tries first to negotiate...

In the clip, we see Elba’s character Sam, an experienced negotiator in the business world, board a flight that is then taken over by armed men.

It was quite the week for British politics, with the scandal leading to former Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s resignation briefly making America look tame by comparison.
After it was revealed that the controversial politician had promoted a member of Parliament to a senior whipping position despite knowledge of sexual misconduct allegations against the man, Johnson faced a series of high profile defections and resignations within his party. Though he resisted calls to resign for as long as he could — as he had done in the past — the resignations ultimately snowballed until he could no longer remain in power.
In the entertainment world, his resignation immediately prompted speculation that “This England,” an upcoming Sky miniseries starring Kenneth Branagh as Johnson, would be forced to shoot additional scenes. The show generated some buzz when it released the first footage of Johnson as Branagh, and many thought that the creative team would...

In 1961, Kempton Bunton (Jim Broadbent), a 60-year old taxi driver, stole Goya?s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. It was the first (and remains the only) theft in the Gallery’s history. Kempton sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting on condition that the government invested more in care for the elderly – he had long campaigned for pensioners to receive free television. What happened next became the stuff of legend. Only 50 years later did the full story emerge – Kempton had spun a web of lies. The only truth was that he was a good man, determined to change the world and save his marriage – how and why he used the Duke to achieve that is a wonderfully uplifting tale. Roger Michell, the son of a British diplomat, was born in South Africa and as a child lived in Beirut, Damascus and Prague.

Great news, cariads. This is the Tweet from Wolfblood creator Debbie Moon that we've been waiting to read since series three concluded last October:

Now, stop howling. People are looking.
Moon followed up the message with clarification that as yet, she has no information on cast, filming, transmission dates or anything else, but will pass it all on as soon as it's confirmed.

Wolfblood series 3 changed leads, expanded its world, and grew even stronger. Here’s why the supernatural Cbbc show deserves to live on…
Contains spoilers for Wolfblood series 3.
Still teaching ‘grown-up’ supernatural shows how it’s done is Cbbc’s exemplary Wolfblood, which yesterday concluded its third run in the UK.
Series three cleared a hurdle at which previous fantasy and sci-fi dramas have fallen by losing its lead character yet continuing to prosper. When Aimee Kelly (who played Maddy Smith) decided to move on after the end of series two, Wolfblood pulled off the smoothest change of personnel since Kirstie Alley joined Cheers, then kept on going from strength to strength.
Having carefully written its supporting cast from day one paid Wolfblood enormous dividends when it came to series three, and made the transition to a genuine ensemble piece look effortless (however it may have felt behind the scenes). Instead...

Inventive humour and satisfying storytelling pay little heed to age brackets. Just as Horrible Histories and Adventure Time couldn’t limit their audience to school-age kids if they tried, neither can Cbbc’s Wolfblood, a drama that’s welcomed viewers of all ages into its growing pack.
Not that we interlopers gave Wolfblood any choice; construct a compelling world from likeable characters, peril, comedy and romance, and viewers seeking a decent story won’t be put off by an after-school timeslot. If you build it, they will… oh, you know the rest. Creator Debbie Moon and co. built it, and we came. Loads of us. Kids and grown-ups and everyone in between.

Louisa salutes Cbbc fantasy series Wolfblood, currently being repeated on BBC Three, as a successor to Buffy The Vampire Slayer's crown…
“I saw so many horror movies where there was that blonde girl who would always get herself killed, I started feeling bad for her. I thought, it’s time she had a chance to take back the night. So the idea of Buffy came from just the very simple thought of ‘a beautiful blonde girl walks into an alley, a monster attacks her and she’s not only ready for him, she trounces him’.” Joss Whedon.
That reversal of power, the victim turned victor and the vulnerable made strong, was fundamental to Buffy’s draw as a series. Here was a teenage girl who really could take back the night, not because the world she lived in was safer than ours -...

Are you Team Jacob? Do you find Alcide hotter than Bill and Eric combined? Are Blood and Chocolate and Shiver your favorite novels? If you dig all things werewolf, then prepare yourself for Wolfblood, the freshly acquired pre-teen werewolf property coming to the Disney Channel. Watch your back Teen Wolf.
The live-action drama is a co-production between the U.K. kids channel Cbbc, Germany’s Zdf and Zdf Enterprises, but thanks to Disney, the English-language werewolf fantasy is coming to the U.S., to Latin America, to the Middle East and to some selected European countries.
THR described the pre-teen drama as one which follows “the ordinary and extraordinary struggles” of two teens who are “wolfbloods,” which means they can transform from human to wolf form and back again at will.
The series is filmed in northeast England and stars Aimee Kelly as Maddy Smith, our hero and Bobby Lockwood as Rhydian Morris,...

To mark the release of Sket on DVD and Blu-ray 5th March, we’ve been given five copies of the movie to give away. Sket stars Ashley Walters, Lily Loveless, Riann Steele, Amiee Kelly,Emma Hartley-Miller and is directed by Nirpal Bhogal.
A distinct lack of public knowledge about female gang culture has resulted in a high level of fascination – yet not one film has dared to explore it – until now. The rise in the proliferation of girl gangs is symptomatic of some of the major problems facing modern society and following extensive research including input from real-life girl gang members, the fi lm is written and directed by Nirpal Bhogal (Cold Kiss). Sket takes a controversial and dramatic look at this phenomenon sweeping the streets of Britain.

This one is well enough done, but do we really need another post-Kidulthood gang crime drama?
Sigh. This comes to us, via first-time writer-director Nirpal Bhogal, from the mean streets of east London. It stars Aimee Kelly as 16-year-old Kayla, who approaches a girl gang for help seeking retribution after her sister is murdered by the local drug pusher (Ashley Walters). "Sket" means "slag". It's a term that gets bandied around by the (mainly female) cast, but has little to do with the plot. There are decent performances, a great soundtrack and an attempt at addressing "the issues", but this leaves you wondering why we need another post-Kidulthood gang crime drama, why a lot of young British cinema seems to be defined by London violence, and why we'd rather be defiant about society's faults than attempt to fix them. Bhogal recently tweeted about critics' lazy use of "urban" and "gritty...

Look out for newcomer Aimee Kelly (represented by United Agents) who makes her film debut in Sket, and has also been nominated for Best British Newcomer in the 55th BFI London Film Festival awards, alongside Sket's writer and director Nirpal Bhogal.
17 year old Aimee was so admired by casting director Jane Ripley and the producers that her script was re-written for her native Newcastle accent.

Blood feuds are as ancient as primordial human history. The Celts (Irish) have killed thousands throughout history. In Albania, 10,000 people have been killed in the last twenty years because of family or blood feuds. Now, Gunslinger, the production arm of Revolver Entertainment, will bring a family feud to East London. When Tanya (Kate Foster-Burns) is killed, Kayla must retaliate for her sister's murder the only way she knows how, by joining an all girl gang. The gang leader Danielle (Emma Hartley-Miller) vows to get vengeance on an opposing gang: "we'll be like them," which leads to even more violence.
The first trailer for Sket is here and the clip is mature rated because of violence and other adult material. As well, Gunslinger continues to create these gang styled thrillers often set in East London e.g. Shank, which just seem to highlight gang violence. Also, the material here seems to...

The first concept poster for Sket is now showing, courtesy of Revolver Entertainment. This production recently completed through Revolver Entertainment's Gunslinger production arm. This film company creates gang thrillers e.g. Shank, Anuvahood and others for moderate budgets (less than $1 million).
The graphic shows a girl gang looming in front of an austere background. The graphic says "Sisterhood," but the title would be offensive to most women. This title will premiere at the BFI London Film Festival this October. Check out the cast and crew details for Sket below.
The synopsis for Sket is here:
"When her sister is brutally murdered, teenager Kayla seeks revenge on the gang who carried out the attack. She joins a rival girl gang for support in her quest for retribution but soon finds herself caught up in their adrenaline-fuelled criminal lifestyle.
