Hero Fiennes Tiffin and Guy Ritchie are set to reunite for the Amazon series based on a young Sherlock Holmes.
Fiennes Tiffin is set to play the lead in the eight-episode series, and Ritchie is attached to direct and executive produce.
The series is officially described as an “action-packed origin story of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s beloved detective in an explosive re-imagining of this iconic character. At age 19, Sherlock Holmes is disgraced, raw, unfiltered, and unformed, when he finds himself caught up in a murder mystery at Oxford University which threatens his freedom. Diving into his first-ever case with a wild lack of discipline, Sherlock manages to unravel a globe-trotting conspiracy that will change his life forever.”

Former Toei producer Muneyuki Kim has launched K2 Pictures, which will work with major directors such as Hirokazu Kore-eda and aim to create a new funding ecosystem for Japanese animated and live-action features.
The plan is to return profits that would traditionally go to film companies to investors and creators, which its founder says closely follows approaches used in Hollywood and elsewhere. Creators who team with K2 will be able to participate on projects as shareholders.
Kii, who will be K2’s CEO, says most Japanese films are produced through a system of ‘production committees’ with industry know-how formed through film companies, TV networks and publishers, which it believes makes entry into the market difficult and limits returns to producers and creators.

Reality TV series “Love Village” will add a second season and comedy talk show “Last One Standing” will add a third as part of Netflix’s 2024 live action offering. The slate, revealed on Thursday, is long on romance, comedy and fantasy.
Earlier this month, consultancy and research firm Media Partners Asia said that Netflix is the second most watched SVOD platform in Japan (behind Prime Video) and the third most-watched premium streamer (behind Tver and Prime Video). While re-runs boost other platforms “original dramas and variety have had clear acquisition impact for Netflix,” Media Partners Asia said in its latest report, and cited “Love Village” and “First Love” as leading examples.
“Last One Standing,” in which comedians must narrate stories that are both personal and funny or face elimination, hails from United Productions and comedy talent agency Yoshimoto Kogyo. A third season will be available in 2024, but is currently undated.

The Japanese streaming video space remains competitive, with Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+ and local competitors reaching more than 100 billion viewing minutes in 2023 in the “premium VOD” space that generated $4.5 billion in subscription revenue.
Those are some of the findings of a new study by MediaPartners Asia’s data analytics arm ampd, which also highlighted the success of Japanese streamer U-Next and local broadcasters’ advertising-supported service Tver, operated by Nippon TV, TV Asahi, TBS Television, TV Tokyo and Fuji Television and others.
“Local broadcaster-led AVOD platform Tver commanded over 20.2 million monthly active users (MAUs) and captured 38 percent of premium VOD viewership in 2023,” the “Japan Online Video Consumer Insights & Analytics” report, which uses a permission-based passive panel measuring the digital activity of more than 19,000 members in a partnership with Intage Group, found. “Amazon Prime Video led the SVOD category with 19.7 million MAUs, followed by U-Next (8.2 million) and Netflix (7.5 million).”

Amazon’s Prime Video has more monthly paying users than Netflix in Japan, but Netflix’s subs appear more engaged, a report has revealed.
Prime Video is currently commanding 19.7 million monthly active users (MAUs), ahead of U-Next (8.2 million) and Netflix (7.5 million), according to Ampd, a data analytics company owned by Media Partners Asia.
Local broadcaster-led AVOD platform Tver had the highest Mau base overall (20.2 million) and also led premium VOD viewership in 2023, capturing 38% of the market. Along with Netflix, it also recorded the highest engagement, with Tver getting an average of 8.8 and Netflix 7.3 hours per user each quarter.
In effect, this all means Prime Video is bringing more than double the number of MAUs to its service than Netflix each month, but Netflix’s smaller audience is consuming more content.

Japan was a latecomer to the video streaming era, with many viewers still preferring the collectability of physical media. But now the Japanese streaming sector appears to have reached maturity.
A new report from data analytics company Ampd, that is part of consultancy and research firm Media Partners Asia, shows that Japan’s premium VOD category expanded from 50.6 million subscriptions in 2022 to 52.6 million in 2023. (Some households may have multiple subscriptions.) That was worth $4.5 billion of subscription revenues, compared with $4.1 billion.
Interestingly, the number of minutes watched on premium streaming services dropped from 110 billion minutes in 2022 to 102 billion in 2023. Ampd says its Japan Online Video Consumer Insights & Analytics report uses a permission-based passive panel measuring digital activity from over 19,000 members in partnership with the Intage Group.

When Barbra Streisand’s “Yentl” opened on Nov. 18, 1983, directing was very much a man’s world. In the 1970s, there had been a few inroads for women. Italian director Lina Wertmuller was nominated for best director for 1976’s “Seven Beauties” Stateside, actress Barbara Loden, who was married to Oscar-winning director Elia Kazan, wrote, directed and starred in the acclaimed 1970 indie drama “Wanda,” which won best foreign film at the Venice Film Festival. She never followed up with another movie and died of breast cancer in 1980.
There was also Joan Micklin Silver (“Hester Street”), Claudia Weill (“Girlfriends”), Martha Coolidge (“Not a Pretty Picture”), Joan Tewkesbury (“Old Boyfriends”) and Joan Darling (“First Love”). But those filmmakers ran into brick walls when they tried to set up projects with the major studios.

The movie, The Red Shoes: Next Step, revolves around the life of a young girl, Samantha Cavanaugh, who is an extremely gifted ballet dancer. Her world comes crashing down when she loses her role model, her elder sister, Annie, to a road accident in New York. She never wanted to fit into her sister’s shoes within the academy, but she did want to follow her as a role model. The film is full of anticipation of something good coming Sam’s way, even after a huge loss. The movie reeks of passion, enthusiasm, and motivation that would help real-life artists relate to the character.
We might mistake the film for a remake of the movie The Red Shoes (1948), but the two stories are completely different. While the old movie depicts a turmoil between romance and career, The Red Shoes: Next Step is the story of the struggle for fulfillment...

Japan has selected Perfect Days, the Tokyo-based fiction feature from German filmmaker Wim Wenders, as its entry for the Best International Feature Film category at the 2024 Oscars.
The pic, which debuted in competition at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, was picked by the Motion Picture Producers Association of Japan. The decision marks the first time a non-Japanese filmmaker has been chosen to lead the country’s Oscars push. Wenders’ Perfect Days is likely to have beat out Hayao Miyazaki’s The Boy And The Heron for the spot.
The film’s official synopsis reads: Hirayama seems utterly content with his simple life as a cleaner of toilets in Tokyo. Outside of his very structured everyday routine, he enjoys his passion for music and books. He loves trees and takes photos of them. A series of unexpected encounters gradually reveals more of his past.

Netflix has unveiled the first trailer for its latest live-action original series from Japan, Burn the House Down, set to launch globally on July 13.
A domestic revenge thriller, the show stars Mei Nagano (My Love Story!, Hanbun, Aoi) as Anzu Murata, a young woman whose childhood was torn apart when her family’s home burned down, prompting her parents to divorce. Convinced that her ailing mother was wrongly accused of the conflagration, Anzu goes undercover to work as a housekeeper for the suspicious woman who married her father in the wake of the blaze — convinced that she can gather evidence and discover the truth of what really happened.
The show is an adaptation of the popular manga Burn the House Down (Mitarai-ke Enjō Suru), which ran in Japan from 2017 to 2021. Kodansha USA Publishing began releasing the manga in English in June 2022.

The spectre of autism can prove to be a slippery slope for filmmakers. Even if it does not necessarily end up on the territory of exploitation, it tends to be the defining characteristic for the characters with it, as we witnessed in films like “Rain Man” and “Forest Gump”. Having that in mind, making a compelling, convincing and believable romance movie with at least one character somewhere on the spectrum seems like a difficult, if not downright impossible task, and the Japanese filmmaker Rika Katsu undertook it for her debut feature “Spring in Between” that we had the chance to see at Nippon Connection.
Spring In Between is screening at Nippon Connection
Katsu opens the film with a parallel montage of a man seemingly playing with blue paint on its hands, but actually painting and a woman running to some kind of an open show, against the backdrop of music...

This month Robert Siegel, one-half of the creative team that brought “Pam & Tommy” to screens, returns with a similar true-life story: “Welcome to Chippendales.”
“Welcome to Chippendales” follows Somen “Steve” Banerjee’s (Kumail Nanjiani) rise and fall in the adult entertainment industry. Matt Shakman directs the series, with Nanjiani, his wife Emily V.

You may know Hero Fiennes Tiffin as bad boy Hardin from "After," "After We Collided," "After We Fell," and "After Ever Happy," and while, yes, he is very, very hot, there's more to him than meets the eye. Tiffin is both an actor and a model, and you may also recognize him as young Voldemort from "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."
Recently, Tiffin starred in the romance film "First Love" alongside Sydney Park. Tiffin was initially reluctant to do another romance film because he wanted to branch out into other genres, but he was intrigued by the "different style of romance" in "First Love." He explained to Popsugar in June, "I was slightly worried about doing so many romances, because I'd be putting myself in a bit of a box, but I think I did the opposite of that by taking on another romance with such a different style.

Hero Fiennes Tiffin has a new romance movie out. The 24-year-old stars alongside Sydney Park in "First Love," which follows high-school seniors Jim (Tiffin) and Ann (Park) as they fall in love and navigate their impending departure to college. While the storyline may sound similar to Hardin and Tessa's in the After franchise, which Tiffin is best known for, the actor assures us it's totally different.
"There is something special if you can make it work with your first love."
"The scripts initially are so different, but how they're shot and brought to life is different," Tiffin tells Popsugar. "Jim's character is so different from Hardin's character. I feel like they're on the opposite ends of the spectrum, and that was definitely part of what drew me to doing another romance."
Jim and Ann are complete opposites. Jim is quiet and mostly keeps to himself, while Ann is a social...

On June 17, filmmaker A.J. Edwards debuts his third feature, a coming-of-age drama titled First Love. But while audiences will see his vision on the big screen, they won’t hear it.
After turning in a cut of the film, he was informed by Voltage Pictures that the score, by Richard Reed Parry of Arcade Fire, would be replaced with one by composer George Kallis, of the After franchise.
“My hope is simply that the true form of this film does have a future and does have an audience, and, at the very least, I want people to know about it. [Parry] did beautiful work, and it melds the performances and the heart of the film in the way it was intended.” Voltage declined to comment.

Former Burn Notice star Jeffrey Donovan has been tapped as a lead in NBC’s upcoming Law & Order revival. He will play a new character, an NYPD detective, on Season 21 of Dick Wolf’s venerable crime drama. Along with a couple of high-profile new cast additions, led by Donovan, the new season is expected to feature several Law & Order alums, with Sam Waterston and Anthony Anderson believed to be in talks to return.
The new installment of Law & Order, from Wolf and writer-showrunner Rick Eid, will continue the classic bifurcated format and will once again examine “the police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders.”
Law & Order is produced by Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group. Wolf, Eid, Arthur W. Forney and Peter Jankowski are executive producers.
