“I find it very invigorating having Ken Lonergan, who's an established, Pulitzer-nominated playwright doing Howards End, or Chris Hampton who's won an Oscar writing a TV series, or having an actor like Mark Rylance, who is probably England's leading theater actor, in the lead in Wolf Hall.” WritingEndsActorsTvsMarkEnglandTheaterSeriesHallsOscarsPlaywrightLead InTv SeriesInvigoratingHowards EndHamptons Author:Colin Callender
“One of the things that's different about London and the English market is that theater and film and television are all based in London. It's not quite the same as in the States where if the playwright here wants a successful TV or film career, they're whisked away by Hollywood.” IfsWantDifferentStatesFilmCareersSuccessfulTelevisionTvsHollywoodTheaterLondonPlaywrightFilm And Television Author:Colin Callender
“I think that's so particularly exciting about this moment in time is all the new platforms that are now existing, the Netflixes and the Hulus and Amazons and so and so forth; I mean they are really doing what pay TV was doing twenty years ago. So a show like Dancing On The Edge gets to have a digital life after it's playing on Starz. I think what's exciting is how these new platforms are providing more opportunities both for first-run programming on the one hand but also for second plays for shows that have appeared first either on traditional broadcast or on cable.” ThinkingYearsFirstsMeanPlayMomentsShowsHandsRunningOpportunityPayTvsYears AgoExcitingTwentiesDancingEdgesTraditionalProgrammingDigitalPlatformsProvidingCablesMoments In TimeNetflix Author:Colin Callender
