Prince Harry ‘can count on a record deal’ for ‘Spare’ film rights: report

spare change.Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle are reportedly “hopeful” they can sell the film rights to the Duke of Sussex’s popular memoir “Spare.”Markle, 41, and Harry, 38, “are in a win-win position,” a “senior source” told the Daily Express.“He will command a top-dollar fee for the rights, while involving [their foundation] Arche­well would mean a more lucrative ‘double dip,’ ” the insider is quoted as saying.Netflix is considered a top contender for the rights, as Harry and Markle, a former actress, in 2020 signed a multi-year deal with the media giant that’s estimated to be worth $100 million.The couple released their docuseries “Harry & Meghan” last year, detailing their fateful introduction in 2016, their wedding in 2018, and their move to Montecito, California, in 2020.The streaming service could be angling to amp up its royal content as the hit series “The Crown” wraps up its sixth and final season later this year.“Given the success of ‘Spare’ and Harry’s cachet, he can count on a record or near-record deal,” the source added to the Daily Express. The Post has reached out to Harry’s reps and Netflix for comment.

Left-Wing Director Ken Loach, Writer Paul Laverty on the Poisonous Seed-Bed for Far Right Politics in Britain’s Rust-Belt Communities

Leo Barraclough International Features Editor In “The Old Oak,” which played in Competition in Cannes, Ken Loach portrays a village in the North-East of England where the indigenous white community comes into conflict with Syrian refugees – a conflict fuelled by the despair, deprivation and decline of the rust-belt region. Such conditions can be a seed-bed for far right groups, the director tells Variety. Such issues have not been explored sufficiently in film and television, Loach says, and he draws a parallel with the portrayal of the rise of Nazism in Germany in the mass media. “We have endless programs about the Second World War, about the horrors of Nazism and fascism, about the racism, about the Holocaust. Quite properly, we have endless programs about that, but what they refuse to point out is that that arose from alienation, anger, feeling cheated, and finding scapegoats. And that’s how we ended up with Hitler, and that’s the ground in which the far right flourishes. One of the points of the film is to say: This is the cause of fascism. This is where it comes from. This is its seed-bed, and it comes as an inevitable consequence of our economic system. Because if the neoliberal agenda was an essential development for capitalism, to use the old-fashioned word, then that’s where fascism comes from. Implicit in that is that the far right will rise because that’s how people will be heading. And they know that and yet the mass media, the press, just turn their backs on that. They’ll tell us all about the horrors of Hitler. Sure. But they won’t tell us how he came to power. And that’s the huge lesson. And we see it in essence now all the time.”

Strong Studios to Develop ‘Hall Mills Murders’ Series Based on Love Affair of a New Jersey Priest (EXCLUSIVE)

McKinley Franklin editor Strong Studios is set to develop a new crime series “Hall Mills Murders,” based on the chilling 1922 murder case that swarmed American culture, Variety has learned.  The eight-episode series will spotlight the murders of Edward Wheeler Hall, an N.J. priest, and Eleanor Millis, Hall’s mistress. Hall and Millis were found in the countryside, appearing to be cuddling in each other’s arms. However, it was quickly uncovered that the lovers were murdered, with their love notes shredded at their feet.  “We are thrilled to announce that the ‘Hall Mills Murders’ project will allow Strong Studios to significantly ramp up our production pipeline,” stated David Ozer, CEO of Strong Studios. “This sordid story and murder trial led to a three-ring media circus that is recognized to this day as the first of its kind in America to saturate news coverage on a daily basis. We know audiences are fascinated by true crime, and given this is the story that started it all, we have no doubt it will generate interest among broadcasters and streamers, and most definitely with audiences when we premiere.”
