Don Groves is a Deadline contributor based in Sydney. The Bridge, the Shine America-Fox International Channels co-produced adaptation of the Scandinavian crime drama series Bron, represents what Rich Ross described as “a perfect example” of the Fox units’ concerted push into scripted fare. The Shine America CEO made his remarks Thursday local time during his keynote at the Australian Subscription Television and Radio Association conference in Sydney. Ross showed a two-minute clip of the remake, Shine’s first U.S. drama series, which stars Demián Bichir and Diane Kruger and is set to debut on FX in July and internationally on Fic entertainment channels. Ross called The Bridge an ideal mating of “international talent with terrific content formatted from another territory”.

Are you ready for more Scorpion King action? Because, Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced that The Scorpion King 3 has started principal photography in Thailand. From the producers of The Mummy, the new action film stars Ron Perlman, Victor Webster and Billy Zane.
I never liked the Scorpion King films; they we're very poorly made films. I imagine this next one won't be any different, but it's got Billy Zane and Ron Perlman in it so maybe I'll have to watch it. Hopefully it's one of those it's so bad it's good movies.
Yes, this is going to be a straight to DVD movie. Here's the synopsis:
As The Scorpion King 3 begins, Mathayus has lost his beloved queen and been driven from his former kingdom by a virulent plague. Now, an assassin for hire, Mathayus is dispatched by Horus, the King of Egypt, to protect his ally King Ramusan from imminent attack.

Universal Home Entertainment issued a press release earlier today, announcing that The Scorpion King 3 had begun principal photography. I think the real news here is that, Scorpion King 2 made enough money to even necessitate a sequel. Like the last film, it'll be a Direct-to-dvd release. It's an odd choice for a movie. Seriously, the first one wasn't that great and the second one definitely wasn't anything to write home about. While, Dtdvd movies aren't exactly known for their high quality, it's hard to see what fan base would be left for this Mummy off-shoot franchise.
Personally, I loathed The Scorpion King with The Rock (the only Scorpion King movie to hit theaters). I thought the plot was boring and even the action wasn't that great. It was trying to ride on the success of the first two Mummy films but it failed miserably. The second film wasn't that great either...
