Village Roadshow Entertainment Group has renewed its production partnership with Content Cartel Production Studios, NBA legend Kevin Garnett’s film and TV banner.
In late 2021, Garnett’s Content Cartel inked a first-look development deal with Village Roadshow to cover scripted and unscripted projects for television, film and digital. The new and expanded deal includes Village Roadshow joining a new collaboration between Content Cartel and Bill Maher’s podcast network, Club Random Studios.
The new arrangement will see Village Roadshow look to develop films and series from podcast content stemming from that Content Cartel and Club Random partnership.
Village Roadshow and Content Cartel have already jointly worked on projects like Goliath, the docuseries about basketball icon Wilt Chamberlain for Showtime, and movies like Cinnamon, a crime-thriller starring Pam Grier and Damon Wayans, and Murder City, starring Mike Colter and directed by Michael D. Olmos. Both features were produced for Tubi as...

Called to Duty, the new movie by director Ashley L. Gibson, is a sincere attempt to tick all the points on the checklist of an aerial combat action movie, inspired by movies such as Top Gun and its sequel Top Gun: Maverick. Although the movie says it is inspired by the women who were part of the ‘Women Airforce Service Pilots,’ aka the Wasp unit, which was a vital part of the American military during World War 2, the scenario and the characters do not seem to be affected by the gravity of the theme. Sure, the contemporary premise of the film has to incorporate modern behavior and relatable jargon, but the finer nuances of the right to equality are missing, which ironically is the point the film hammers onto us in almost every scene.

Bryan Cranston is reuniting with former Sony Pictures Television chairman Steve Mosko.
The former Emmy-winning Breaking Bad star has inked a TV producing deal with Mosko’s Village Roadshow. Mosko, during his tenure atop Sony, was among the primary executives who developed and oversaw AMC’s Breaking Bad.
Under the pact, Cranston and his Moonshot Entertainment banner will create and develop TV content for various distribution platforms. Cranston had a long relationship with Sony TV and, following the show’s five-season conclusion, opened a new chapter with the indie studio and signed a first-look deal back in 2013. His Moonshot banner — named after Dodger favorite Wally Moon’s famed home run — was based at Sony until mid-2019, when Cranston signed a multiple-year pact with Warner Bros. TV. That deal has since expired, paving the way for Cranston to reunite with Mosko at Village Roadshow.
