"Romolo+Giuly" fa ripiombare le serie tv italiane nel campanilismo con citazioni forzate
"Siamo moderni, giriamo le serie, ma ricaschiamo sempre nell'Italia dei campanili. Mezzo campanile: Roma nord schierata contro Roma sud (vale anche il contrario). Trascinando nella mischia William Shakespeare e soprattutto Baz Luhrmann, che nel 1996 aveva ambientato nella californiana Verona Beach il suo "Romeo+Giulietta" con Leonardo DiCaprio e Claire Danes. Gli innamorati divisi dalla rivalità familiare sono romanamente ribattezzati "Romolo+Giuly". Lui un Montacchi, ha per genitore il re della monnezza. Lei una Copulati, erede dei palazzinari che allignano al nord. La seconda metà del titolo, che allude a una guerra mondiale italiana, svela che nella vicenda entrano anche Milano e Napoli: altrettanto caricaturali, fungono da esca per gli spettatori non romani. "Romolo+Giuly" è prodotta da Fox (e su Fox va in onda, otto puntate). Con l'intenzione di ripetere il successo di `Boris", la serie che sfotteva i prodotti audiovisivi italiani scritti male e recitati peggio (la parola "fiction" andrebbe risparmiata, in questi casi: meglio il giro di parole). Ma "Boris" era a suo modo universale, le brutte sceneggiature, gli attori mediocri, i registi incapaci, le troupe svogliate si trovano dappertutto, anche dove il cinema e la tv sono migliori dei corrispettivi nostrani. Roma nord contro Roma sud resta una nicchia, di recente invenzione comica. Complice un video virale su YouTube, e un episodio pilota premiato nel 2016 al Roma Web Fest. Giocavano in casa, con spettatori che alle frasi "La breccia di Corso Francia" o "le sirene di Ponte Milvio" o "le miniere di cocaina di Vigna Clara" già ridono (chi a suo tempo spiegò che il tragico è universale, mentre il comico è geolocalizzato aveva in mente cose così). La busta con la nebbia padana potrebbe essere Totò - e già un po' allarghiamo l'orizzonte. Il regista Paolo Sorrentino, odiato a Napoli perché "La grande bellezza" l'ha girato a Roma, è tormentone cinefilo, e un po' generazionale. Totalmente generazionale è il pupazzo T'ciù, che conosce in carcere il televenditore Giorgio Mastrota (nella parte di se stesso): se non eravate davanti alla tv quando andava in onda "Bim Bum Bam", e quindi niente sapete del pupazzo Uan, lasciate ogni speranza. Si inoltrano nelle campagne padane per avere alleati, ma rifiutano di dare la caccia ai "negher" - finché pietoso non arriva il traduttore simultaneo: "Caccia ai terroni" (un avvocato di Crotone con toga e valigetta scappa inseguito dai forconi). Togli di qui e leva di là, resta la guerra tra i coatti che se vogliono andare dallo psicoanalista devono spacciarlo per personal trainer (la professione lì è fuorilegge) e i fighetti che trattano le filippine come animali domestici ("ti ho regalato un cucciolo", dice la mamma di Giuly alla figlia che va sposa, dopo aver firmato gli accordi prematrimoniali). Come da copione, tre Montacchi travestiti si infiltrano a Roma nord, dopo aver superato con l'inganno il check-point. Sullo sfondo, il Ponte della Musica, o Ponte Veltroni (di nuovo, ridono solo i romani). A una festa - nel castello dei Copulati che sopra lo stemma di famiglia ha il cartiglio "Coca Progresso Figa" - Romolo incontra Giuly, e si innamorano. Lo spettatore un po' si diverte e un po' si annoia. La trama la sappiamo - anche se qui la fanno partire dai Garibaldini. Citazioni e rimandi alla lunga sono forzati: Leonardo DiCaprio e Claire Danes amoreggiavano in piscina; Romolo sbaciucchia Giuly dietro la boccia del pesce rosso di Boris". (Mariarosa Mancuso)

NEWS - Anche per Netflix c'è una prima volta. Ecco il motivo della cancellazione del costosissimo "The Get Down" (e non si tratta di budget), il primo titolo del servizio streaming a non essere rinnovato
News tratta da "Variety"
Netflix had never canceled an original scripted drama series — until this week. On Wednesday, the streaming service pulled the plug on “The Get Down,” one of the most expensive series in television history, with a first season that cost at least $120 million for 10 episodes. Despite recent assurances that creator Baz Luhrmann that a second season was in the offing, Netflix decided not to move forward with the Sony Pictures Television show. According to data from research firm Parrot Analytics, U.S. viewer demand for “The Get Down” never matched that of buzzier Netflix shows such as “Stranger Things” and “The Crown.” It also failed to outshine comparable linear series, including HBO’s canceled “Vinyl.” Parrot uses a proprietary demand-expression metric incorporating desire, engagement, and consumption measurements to gauge audience activity around a show. A report prepared for Variety found activity around “The Get Down” to be minimal in the weeks following its release. From Aug. 11, 2016 through May 24, 2017, “The Get Down” registered 26.6% of the viewer demand for “Stranger Things” and 83.5% of the demand for “The Crown.” “The Get Down” enjoyed a relatively strong start, with 19.8 million demand expressions in its first week on Netflix. “The Crown” was 8.3% higher with 21.4 million demand expressions in its first week, beginning Nov. 4. Netflix split season one of “The Get Down” into two parts. While the premiere of part two April 7 gave the series a slight bump in audience demand for two weeks, that bump failed to sustain, with demand quickly regressing to a lackluster baseline. Parrot also compared demand for “The Get Down” to that for two linear dramas rooted in music — Fox’s “Empire” and HBO’s “Vinyl.” Unsurprisingly, “Empire” — one of the most watched series on television — far outperformed “The Get Down” in audience demand. When compared to “Vinyl,” the “The Get Down” averaged 92% more demand than the HBO show for the Aug. 11-May 24 period. But that’s no great accomplishment, considering that “Vinyl”had been canceled long before that stretch began. In between the premieres of parts one and two of “The Get Down” season one, the series showed a baseline level of demand near or lower than a show that had already been killed. Looking at international markets, “The Get Down” was far outperformed in Brazil and France by “Stranger Things.” In Brazil, the Luhrmann series performed on par with “The Crown,” with neither able to muster much demand. In France, “The Crown” preformed slightly better.

NEWS - Cose da Baz(zi)! "The Get Down" di Netflix by Luhrmann ha fatto lievitare i costi a 16 milioni di dollari a episodio (!!!), quasi 200 a stagione! E ha (molta) meno audience della più economica "Stranger Things"...
News tratta da Deadline.com
The Get Down was expected to be an expensive proposition from the get-go and Netflix knew it. The series from Academy Award-winning husband-wife team of Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin, Pulitzer-winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis, hip-hop historian Nelson George and iconic rappers MC Nas and Grandmaster Flash was expected to cost around $11 million per episode for 12 episodes, which all-in would have totaled about $120M.
However, Deadline has learned that given the way the deal is constructed, Netflix is paying more like $16M per episode — inclusive in the total is worldwide rights to the IP, and factored into that are the premiums that Netflix paid to acquire those rights exclusively.
Other costs include start-up, visual effects, music rights and production design. Of the $16 million, around $11 million was the final production expenses per episode, $3 million-$4 million over the initial budget following a string of filming shutdowns, staffing changes and script rewrites. When a TV drama is produced for $6M or higher an episode, it is considered expensive.
So adding in all the costs on The Get Down, including the worldwide rights and premiums, that brings the total for the 12-episode season closer to the $190M-plus range. They are not completely wrapped yet either.
The Get Down is not a runaway hit the way Netflix’s pop culture phenom Stranger Things has been. Stranger Things ranks No. 3 on Symphony Advanced Media’s chart for viewings among 18- to 49-year-olds; The Get Down is No. 14.
However, Netflix’s strategy for many of its original series is to target specific, often under-served segments of the audience as a way of expanding its subscriber base. The Get Down is said to be the No. 1 show among African Americans and Hispanics and is building out among the young demographic as well — it has caught on with high schoolers. The Get Down is drawing in demos that other Netflix shows normally don’t, said one insider.
Internally, Netflix viewer satisfaction surveys for U.S. viewers that Deadline obtained reveal that The Get Down scored well among hip-hop fans and just slightly better with men than women. Overall, it got a 66% excellent or good rating, with concerns about the slow pacing at the onset but viewers saying that it picked up as the show progressed. The other satisfaction surveys on the show are said to be way above the norm in other countries, specifically France, Germany and Latin America.
In Netflix’s quarterly earnings call Monday, the company’s chief content officer Ted Sarandos said that their new season of content (which includes The Get Down) was traveling globally proportionally as they had hoped.
In responding to a question during the call about The Get Down and its expense versus viewership, Sarandos said, “Yes, it’s an expensive piece of television. Mostly because it’s very large scale, cinematic. The reason why Baz Luhrmann’s films work around the world is that kind of attractiveness. We’re still seeing how it’s going to unfold for the first season. All the shows land at a different level of noise in the press and probably depending on what circles you run in, whether or not your friends are talking about it. We’re very excited about how the show has been performing, particularly in a quarter where we had four shows that turned out to be kind of big event programs for us”. The first six episodes of The Get Down‘s first season were released in August, with the remaining six set to debut in 2017. Netflix had no comment for this report.

NEWS - Fiat Netflix! Gli abbonati saliti a 75 milioni (e non c'è ancora la Cina!), le ore di contenuti originali saranno 600 nel 2016 (450 nel 2015), 30 nuove serie, 1.5 bilione di dollari il debito a fronte di 1.82 di rendita
News tratta da "Variety"
Netflix signed up more international customers than expected in the fourth quarter of 2015, topped Wall Street earnings estimates and issued a bullish forecast for the current quarter.
The company’s shares climbed as much as 10% in after-hours trading on the earnings report.
CEO Reed Hastings and CFO David Wells, in a letter to investors, said Netflix surpassed 75 million members on Jan. 1, just hours after the end of the Q4 period. “Our quarter‐end 74.76 million members put us at over 17 million net additions for the year, showing how much the world is embracing Internet TV,” they wrote. Netflix is boosting the tonnage of original content by 33% this year: In 2016, it expects to launch 600 hours of original programming, compared with 450 hours in 2015, the execs said. That will comprise new seasons of about 30 series — including “The Crown” and Baz Luhrmann’s “The Get Down” — eight original feature films, 35 new seasons of original kids’ series, a dozen documentaries and nine stand-up comedy specials.
“Increasingly, our goal is to own more of our original programming to allow for greater creative and business control and to ensure global access to content,” Hastings and Wells wrote.
The world’s biggest streaming-video subscription provider added a net 1.56 million U.S. streaming subs and 4.04 million subscribers internationally for the quarter. Previously, Netflix said it expected to add 1.65 million subs in the States and 3.5 million internationally in Q4.
Netflix said its members streamed 42.5 billion hours of video in 2015, up from 29 billion hours in 2014.
For the fourth quarter, Netflix posted revenue of $1.82 billion and earnings per share of 10 cents. Wall Street analysts had expected earnings of 2 cents per share on revenue of $1.83 billion.
The company ended 2015 with 74.76 million streaming customers worldwide, including 44.74 million in the U.S. For the first quarter of 2016, Netflix forecast 6.1 million net additions worldwide versus 4.88 million in the year-earlier quarter.
Still, Netflix acknowledged that its growth in the U.S. is slowing. “Our high penetration in the U.S. seems to be making net additions harder than in the past,” the execs wrote.
In the second and third quarters of this year, a large number of U.S. Netflix subs will see a price hike for the standard two-HD-stream plan, which will rise to $9.99 per month. But the execs said they expect only “slightly elevated” churn.
Last October Netflix missed U.S. subscriber growth targets for Q3 2015, citing in part the payment industry’s transition to chip-based credit and debit cards. At this point, the card rollover continues to be “a background issue,” according to Hastings and Wells.
Earlier this month, Netflix surprised investors with the announcement earlier this month that it had expanded to 130 additional countries, bringing it to a total of 190 worldwide (virtually everywhere except China).
“In the last remaining major market, China, we have work and uncertainty ahead,” Hastings and Wells wrote. “We are building relationships, understanding the market, and seeking the conditions we require to provide our service to entertainment lovers there. Our expectations are modest and long‐term.” Hastings, on a call with investors, noted that it took Apple many years to obtain approval to sell iPhone in China.
Netflix also said in the letter that it is likely to raise additional debt in late 2016 or early 2017, citing expected investment in originals. The company most recently raised $1.5 billion in long-term debt in February 2015.
Meanwhile, Netflix’s legacy DVD‐by‐mail business — which operates only in the U.S. — had about 4.9 million members at the end of 2015 and generated $80 million in contribution profit in Q4. “We are pleased that our DVD business is managing the decline well, despite increasing postal costs,” the execs wrote.

I primi sei episodi del music-drama di Baz Luhrmann, prodotto da Sony Pictures Television, racconta la New York degli anni '70 - dove un gruppo di teenager del Bronx non ha nessuno che li difenda nelle violente strade della citta', eccetto loro stessi, armati solo di parole e giochi verbali, di passi di danza e bombolette spray da graffiti.

PICCOLO GRANDE SCHERMO - Tutti Baz per Netflix! Anche il visionario Luhrmann attratto dalle serie tv
News tratta da "Vulture"
This should be a spectacular spectacular: Director Baz Luhrmann’s first TV show, a musical drama set in 1970s New York City called The Get Down, is headed to Netflix. Vulture broke the news about the project back in December 2013, when Sony Pictures Television was shopping it around to multiple networks (though Netflix was always seen as the front-runner to land the show). The streaming giant now says it has ordered 13 episodes of the series and plans to premiere them all in 2016.
The Get Down will explore the dawn of the hip-hop era in NYC, focusing on what a Netflix release calls “a rag-tag crew of South Bronx teenagers [who] are nothings and nobodies with no one to shelter them — except each other, armed only with verbal games, improvised dance steps, some magic markers and spray cans.” The show, set at a time when the city was veering toward financial disaster, will jump around different scenes and musical styles — “from CBGBs to Studio 54,” as Netflix puts it. The Get Down is “a project I have been contemplating and working on now for over 10 years,” Luhrmann said in a release. “Throughout, I’ve been obsessed with the idea of how a city in its lowest moment, forgotten and half destroyed, could give birth to such creativity and originality in music, art and culture.”
Luhrmann won’t just be lending his name to The Get Down as executive producer: He’s set to direct at least three episodes (the first two and the season finale), and he’s bringing along collaborator (and Oscar winner) Catherine Martin to serve as costume and production designer for the show (as well as exec producer). Other exec producers/writers on the project include Paul Watters (Lurhmann’s Australia), Thomas Kelly (Copper), and the previously reported Stephen Adly Guirgis (Motherfucker With the Hat), Shawn Ryan, and Marney Hochman (The Shield). The Get Down is the biggest project to emerge from a TV deal Luhrmann struck with Sony back in 2012. It’s also yet another example of streaming networks such as Netflix landing top feature-film names to do TV. Amazon recently struck a deal to develop a TV show with director Woody Allen (though Netflix’s agreement with Luhrmann was in place long before the Amazon project was revealed).

GOSSIP - Tutte Baz-ze per Michiel! Il bel Huisman di "Nashville", "Orphan Black" e "GOT" testimonial del megaspot cult di Chanel diretto da Luhrmann
Dai mulini olandesi al “Moulin Rouge”, inteso come film simbolo del cineasta fantasioso Baz Luhrmann che l’ha voluto quale protagonista maschile del mini-film di Chanel che da qualche giorno impazza in ogni dove. Michiel Huisman, nato tra i tulipani di Amstelveen, sarà il volto nuovo che affianca la protagonista Tatiana Maslany nella 2° stagione inedita della serie cult “Orphan Black” (su Premium Action dal 15 novembre). Nel frattempo si è concesso il lusso di essere colui che fa battere il cuore alla surfista chic Gisele Bündchen nello spot diretto con maestria da Luhrmann e che racchiude le atmosfere dei suoi più famosi “Moulin Rouge” e “Il Grande Gatsby”. Huisman si è fatto conoscere di recente in tv per aver partecipato a “Nashville” (Fox Life) e “Game of Thrones” (Rai4/Sky Atlantic), mentre al cinema è stato sul set di “Black Book” e “World War Z”. Il grande schermo sembra essersi innamorato del fascino (olandese?) di Michiel, visto che da qui al 2016 è atteso in ben 5 pellicole. In “Wild”, in uscita in Italia il 5 dicembre, affianca Reese Witherspoon; in “American Dream” (attualmente in post-produzione) è davanti alla cinepresa del polacco Janusz Kaminski, il direttore della fotografia preferito di Steven Spielberg; nel 2015 usciranno il thriller paranoico “The Invitation” e “The Age of Adaline” con Harrison Ford e Blake Lively; il 2016 vedrà Huisman protagonista di “The Swimmer”, storia di un nuotatore che sfida le difficili acque di un fiume danese. Se nel poco tempo libero scrive e compone canzoni (per i feticisti del caso, ha già pubblicato un album in olandese), i giornali glam hanno iniziato a cercarlo come modello (vedi la cover di “L’Officiel” QUI). Nel frattempo non resta che seguirlo in tv, tra un chan(n)el e l’altro…
