The Little Mermaid
During a recent interview with Total Film Magazine (via GamesRadar), The Little Mermaid’s Jonah Hauer-King stated he hoped to bring “some four-dimensionality” to his portrayal of Price Eric.
The objective was trying to honor and respect the film that we loved 30 years ago, and bring everything that we fell in love with in the first place, while also trying to breathe some new life into it. I think that was true of Prince Eric. Trying to understand who he is, and trying to bring some four-dimensionality to him, was the challenge.

Little Sky
Netflix has ordered its first-ever pilot (instead of a direct-to-series order) in Little Sky, a single-camera comedy with genre elements starring and produced by Samara Weaving. The pilot is said to focus on Penelope Paul Porter (Weaving) “who is determined to realize her lifelong dream of being a respected on-air news reporter (despite the fact she may be the worst reporter of all time). When she receives an anonymous tip that the Mayor of Little Sky is missing, she knows it’s her chance to finally prove herself. Arriving in the spooky, remote town of Little Sky, she senses she’s on to a big story—but little does she know she’s stumbled upon something much darker than she could have ever imagined.” [Deadline]

On March 21, a horse suffered cardiac arrest ahead of rehearsals.”
