When two British-born powerhouses get together — Idris Elba, an actor-director-producer of Sierra Leone, Creole and Ghanaian descent, and Nigerian-rooted Mo Abudu, largely considered the go-between for African content to the rest of the world — they have a powerful chemistry. Remarkably, though, they’ve never made anything together.
This is about to change. In March, the two quietly announced they would join forces to empower and uplift talent from Africa through their respective companies: Elba’s Green Door Pictures and Abudu’s EbonyLife TV. It’s a subject of shared passion for both. Throughout Elba’s prolific career, he’s continued to be involved in stories that are related to the African diaspora, from his early work on TV drama Sometimes in April, or The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, to his upcoming untitled Ghana project, which he will direct and star in. He’s long championed under-heard voices, and in 2016, he delivered a powerful address to the UK Parliament about the need for greater diversity and representation across the sector.
In tandem, Abudu has spent her career trying to put African stories on the global map. After a career in recruitment, the straight-shooter pivoted to become a talk-show host, launching Moments with Mo in 2008 and interviewing the likes of Hillary Clinton and Christine Lagarde in her African-syndicated show. That show eventually generated EbonyLife Studios and sparked her mission to push African stories to the global market.
When we connect with Elba and Abudu one Monday in London, it’s the first time they have met in person, but they interact like old friends. With common backgrounds but differing perspectives, it’s clear there’s a unity in their mission: African stories have long

Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke about those groping allegations in his tell-all Netflix documentary series, “Arnold”.
Idris Elba has joined the sequel of a popular Netflix film, which releases this month.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director In Netflix’s upcoming Arnold Schwarzenegger documentary series “Arnold,” the actor and former California governor somewhat apologizes for groping women in the past (via Rolling Stone). Five days before the 2003 California governor election, the Los Angeles Times published a report in which six women accused Schwarzenegger of groping and humiliating them. Schwarzenegger said at the time the reports were “made-up” and he “never grabbed anyone,” though he also admitted he “behaved badly sometimes” in the past. “My reaction in the beginning, I was kind of…defensive,” Schwarzenegger now says in the three-part Netflix documentary series. “Today, I can look at it and kind of say, it doesn’t really matter what time it is. If it’s the Muscle Beach days of 40 years ago, or today, that this was wrong. It was bullshit. Forget all the excuses, it was wrong.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger has addressed past groping allegations in an upcoming Netflix documentary series.Five days prior to the California governor election in 2003, which Schwarzenegger went onto win, the actor and politician was accused of groping by six women across three decades in a report published on the Los Angeles Times.At the time, Schwarzenegger dismissed the allegations before later admitting he had “behaved badly” on film sets. “It is true that I was on rowdy movie sets and I have done things that were not right which I thought then was playful,” the actor said (via the Guardian).“But now I recognise that I offended people,” he added. “Those people that I have offended.

Beyoncé is paying homage to her hero, Tina Turner, just hours after the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll died peacefully on Wednesday at her home in Switzerland. She was 83.Queen B posted a touching tribute on social media and on her website with a 2008 photo of the duo's epic performance at the 50th GRAMMY Awards in Los Angeles. «My beloved queen.
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Tina Turner, who died Wednesday at 83, rarely failed to electrify, not just in person but with cameras as her conduit to the audience, too. Longtime Grammys executive producer Ken Ehrlich worked with Turner on programs from the late ’70s through the late ’90s, and he shared his memories with Variety of three particularly memorable TV performances. The first of these was in 1985, when she sang “What’s Love Got to Do With It” on the Grammys, the same year she won record of the year for that song — arguably the peak of her career, though she’d been revered for a quarter-century before that and would become a bigger superstar still in the next 25 years to follow. The second appearance he singles out is a duet between Turner and Elton John for a 1999 “VH1 Divas” special that got more fiery behind the scenes than necessary, albeit possibly to its benefit. Finally, he was an integral part of one of Turner’s last great TV spots, a highly copacetic duet with Beyoncé on the 2008 Grammys telecast.
Idris Elba has teamed up with his wife Sabrina to make a series about the treatment of black artists in the music industry. The couple’s production companies Green Door Pictures and Pink Towel will work with London’s Aim-listed Zinc Media to create the documentary Paid In Full.
Naman Ramachandran Zinc Media label Supercollider has partnered with Idris Elba’s Green Door Pictures and Sabrina Elba’s Pink Towel on documentary series “Paid in Full: The Battle for Payback” (working title) for public broadcasters CBC and BBC. The series (3 x 60′), produced in association with Catalyst, examines the exploitation of Black artists by the music industry and explores what it would look like for Black artists to receive reparations. It documents the extent of the historic injustice suffered by the music industry’s Black artists, including the disparity of profits received by them, despite having created the records that have driven the fabric and culture of popular music. The series will also look at racial inequality in the music industry both today and in the past.
David Benedict Canny casting of Mike Faist (“West Side Story”) and Lucas Hedges (“Manchester by the Sea”) and abundant efforts to honor Annie Proulx’s short story “Brokeback Mountain,” immortalized in Ang Lee’s screen version, are all in place. Above all, the sincerity underpinning director Jonathan Butterell’s premiere of a stage version is never in doubt. But despite a live soundtrack of bluegrass and country songs, the production only proves you can have too much fidelity. Sticking so doggedly to the original, the production fails to find anything approaching a satisfying theatrical form. Staged in-the-round in London’s 602-seat Soho Place theater, Ashley Robinson’s notably sparse adaptation of Proulx’s story confuses literary with literal. Borrowing the story’s introductory paragraphs, Robinson provides a cliched framing device, showing the older version of Ennis (Paul Hickey) waking up besieged by difficult memories. From his bedside radio, we hear the first of Dan Gillespie Sells’ original country songs welling up. The pedal steel guitar sets the scene, but its title and chorus “Don’t Let the Years Get You Down” is an immediately worrying indication that the production will be telling as well as showing.
