Gareth Neame, whose Carnival Films shepherded “Downton Abbey” to international success, “could not have anticipated” that the British period drama would not only become a worldwide hit, but launch a successful film franchise, with a third film due September 2025.

But Carnival’s success isn’t limited to the moonshot of “Downton”: The British powerhouse, which sold to NBCUniversal in 2008, just launched “The Day of the Jackal” with Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch for Sky/Peacock and has the upcoming dramas “Lockerbie: A Search for Truth,” starring Colin Firth, and the hotly anticipated “All Her Fault,” Sarah Snook’s first series since “Succession” wrapped.

Neame talked to TheWrap about how his series’ successes have changed the landscape for other U.K.-based productions and how Carnival still feels like a “boutique” studio despite being part of one of the biggest media corporations on the planet.

Read his full Office With a View Q&a below.

It was only when the team at Carnival Films decided they would fast forward The Day of the Jackal to the present day that things started getting interesting.

Carnival bosses Gareth Neame and Nigel Marchant had toyed with the idea of remaking Frederick Forsyth’s 1971 historical novel about the fictional assassination of Charles de Gaulle for a few years but had always concluded that the 1973 movie version starring Edward Fox “cannot be bettered so why would you want to remake it,” according to Neame.

“We revere the film enormously but kept talking about [a remake],” he added. “It was such an intriguing, interesting idea and we couldn’t quite let it go.”

So in the midst of the pandemic, Neame and Marchant decided they would instil two obvious points of difference by making The Day of the Jackal into a 10-episode series and setting it in a 21st century milieu, with no...

Exclusive: European streamer SkyShowtime will capitalize on the success of Yellowstone with the addition of upcoming sequel series The Madison to its lineup.

The streamer shared details of its forthcoming lineup with Deadline, revealing a variety of premium U.S. and international series and movies.

SkyShowtime is a joint-venture between Paramount and Comcast and available in over 20 territories in Europe. Earlier this year, its CEO, Monty Sarhan talked up “the year of Yellowstone” and the SVOD service will duly bolster its line-up with the Michelle Pfeiffer-starring sequel The Madison. It will also have season two of the prequel series 1923, starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren. No TX date was given for Taylor Sheridan’s The Madison, which is expected to premiere in 2025.

Continuing the theme, SkyShowtime will also have Yellowstone 150, a documentary with Kevin Costner who explores Yellowstone National Park and investigates the events that led to its preservation.

BBC Announces New Documentary Series: Boybands Forever...

Sky Studios CEO Cecile Frot-Coutaz has said there is “no scenario” in which its pay-tv customers will not have access to content from Warner Bros. Discovery streamer Max when it launches in the UK.

Sky has been the sole home of HBO content in the UK for many years, but it is widely expected Wbd will move the content to its own streamer when their current output deal ends in 2025. Wbd has not officially set a date for a UK launch, but senior exec J.B. Perrette said earlier this year it would “crazy” not to go direct-to-consumer in the UK.

With that backdrop, speculation has been rampant about what the future of the Sky-Wbd partnership will look like, with both sides making positive noises about an agreement without clearly outlining what shape it could take.

Kinomagier Steven Spielberg ist mit der Besetzung seines nächsten Projekts beschäftigt. Als Hauptdarsteller soll der britische Oscarpreisträger Colin Firth in Frage kommen.

Colin Firth (Credit: Imago / Avalon.red)

Für sein nächstes Projekt ist Steven Spielberg noch auf der Suche nach dem Hauptdarsteller. Angeblich gehört Oscarpreisträger Colin Firth („The King’s Speech – Die Rede des Königs“) nun zum engeren Kreis des noch unbetitelten Projekts. Bereits im Mai wurde bekannt, dass Emily Blunt die weibliche Hauptrolle spielen soll. Dies wäre die erste Zusammenarbeit zwischen der Britin, die unlängst für „Oppenheimer“ eine Oscarnominierung erhielt, und Spielberg. Auch mit Firth hat der dreifache Oscarpreisträger noch nicht gearbeitet. Firth ist aktuell mit den Serien „Young Sherlock“ und „Lockerbie“ beschäftigt.

Die Idee zum Projekt kommt vom Kinomagier himself, sein langjähriger Weggefährte David Koepp soll das Drehbuch schreiben, so Deadline. Um was es geht, ist natürlich streng geheim. Produktionell aufgestellt wird das Projekt bei Amblin und Universal.

Colin Firth is in early talks to join Emily Blunt in Steven Spielberg’s next film.

It’s unclear who the Oscar-winning actor will play or what the movie is even about, though it has been described as an “event film,” and the fact that is has been slated to open in the summer of 2026 suggests it will be a return to the kind of blockbusters that made Spielberg a household name. Otherwise, mums the word on what on screen action awaits. Spielberg cooked up the story and David Koepp, who wrote “Jurassic Park” and the first “Mission: Impossible,” penned the script. Universal will release the film, which is produced by Spielberg’s company, Amblin.

Firth is set to appear in “Lockerbie,” a Peacock series about the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, as well as “Young Sherlock,” a Prime Video series about the famous detective’s early years from Guy Ritchie.

Exclusive: After tapping Emily Bunt to star in May, Steven Spielberg looks to have found another A-lister for his next event film as Deadline is hearing Colin Firth is in early talks to join the cast. The Amblin and Universal pic is based on a story by Spielberg and has the filmmaker’s longtime collaborator David Koepp penning the script.

Universal and Amblin had no comment.

Kristie Macosko Krieger is producing. Plot details have been kept under lock and key.

Set dressers organized the scene by setting props in a field for a TV drama about the aftermath of the bombing in Lockerbie starring Colin Firth in Bathgate, Scotland, last week.

The miniseries Lockerbie examines the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. The bombing took 270 lives: 259 of them were on the flight and 11 lives were lost as the wreckage damaged their homes.

Props were set up to look like the aftermath of the bombing. The crew is carrying the parts of the plane parts including seats and parts of a wing.

In 2016, Firth sat down with uInterview to talk about relating to his character, Bill Haydon, in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

When asked about his connection to the character, Firth exclusively told uInterview that, “[Haydon] handles things with great authority and great aplomb, and I’m not saying I am capable of doing that, but I do find those things attractive.
