Matt Tyrnauer’s documentary titled “Carville: Winning Is Everything, Stupid” – one of the most anticipated documentaries premiering at this weekend’s Telluride Film Festival – has been purchased by CNN Films for both television and streaming services. The film will make its TV premiere on CNN on Saturday, October 5th at 7 p.m. ET, and it will be available to stream later in the fall on Max. Additionally, it is set to receive an Oscar-qualifying run and a theatrical release separately.

Discussing the financing and distribution of dramatic films has grown progressively complex, as pointed out by a group of industry professionals at Winston Baker’s debut Film & Television Finance Forum Venice. “Dramas have transitioned from hard to extremely hard,” Benjamin Kramer, co-head of the media finance department at Creative Artists Agency (CAA), commented during the panel titled “State of the Industry: State of Finance.” Nonetheless, Kramer, who has worked on films like Sing Sing, Nyad, and The Revenant, emphasized that there are still numerous dramas at various budget levels that get produced, including those with a $30 million budget. The amount of funding available will always be contingent on factors such as the filmmaker, the cast, and whether it’s based on something significant, he concluded.

Fans of Bollywood and intense Hindi films are particularly drawn to romantic storylines. Many of our favorite filmmakers have given us these types of films, often making them more intriguing by introducing a third character to create tension. If you’re one who enjoys this genre with a bit of indulgence, we’ve compiled a list of love triangle movies that are available for streaming on Netflix.

As autumn approaches, we’re nearing the time for holidays and movie marathons. I’m eagerly anticipating the upcoming lineup from networks like GAF, Hallmark, and others on their 2024 TV schedule, especially with the delightful pairings they bring. For instance, Candace Cameron Bure is preparing for her Christmas movie releases, and I can hardly wait to see what she’s cooking up. Interestingly, a former professional dancer from “Dancing With the Stars” has expressed interest in collaborating with her on a future film, and I must admit, that idea intrigues me quite a bit.

George R.R. Martin, the genius behind ‘Game of Thrones’, seems to be encountering some challenges in the production of the prequel/spin-off series titled ‘House of the Dragon’. This series, derived from parts of Martin’s 2018 novel ‘Fire & Blood’, is set 200 years prior to the events in ‘Game of Thrones’ and focuses on the infamous “Dance with Dragons,” a war of succession within House Targaryen. The series premiered on HBO on August 21, 2022, and was generally well-received by critics and audiences alike, demonstrating that ‘Game of Thrones’ still had a substantial fanbase despite the divisive finale. However, reaction to Season 2 has been less favorable.
