A ‘market with a view’ is how Nem Dubrovnik pitches itself. In a literal sense, the view is of the Adriatic Sea, but in a business sense, the ambition is to create a relaxed setting for execs to meet and do deals, a marked switch-up from the hubbub of many TV markets.
Launching in 2013, Nem Dubrovnik has carved out its calendar moment in June. Over a decade, it has established itself as a key buying and selling confab for the Cee region and beyond, with all of the notable buyers in attendance. The market organizers will grow the space for distributors by 40% this year.
Amazon MGM, Disney, Idtv and Lionsgate will have screenings or showcases. Beta Film, Newen Studios, Rai, and Warner Bros. Discovery are among the big European and international players that will be selling programming at Nem.
The Cee region remains a huge buyer of telenovelas and Turkish drama.

The Helldivers 2 controversy led to much turbulence between the players and Arrowhead’s team. In a nutshell, it was about Sony forcing players on PC to create Psn accounts and link them with their Steam profiles.
After a lot of chaos, it ended when Sony announced that linking one’s Psn accounts to Steam would no longer be a mandatory requirement. An announcement from the game’s discord has surfaced which will take the Divers by Surprise.
Helldivers 2 Community Manager’s Message to the Divers on Discord The reason for the Helldivers 2 controversy finally dissolved, or at least, that is what we thought.
Not long ago, the Helldivers 2 Discord was a battlefield with much tension between players who played on PC and those who played on PlayStation 5. It also saw players leaving inflammatory messages for the team and developers.

Creating a roller coaster worthy of a 10-film series whose titles revolve around the words “Fast” and “Furious” is no small task.
The folks at Universal Studios Hollywood seem to have taken the challenge seriously, introducing today “Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift,” which they promise will include a “groundbreaking 360-degree rotation of the individual ride vehicles as they rocket along an elaborate track.” The goal is to create a sensation of drifting cars as guests spin in motion at furiously fast speeds.

The 2024 Oscars are done and dusted, leaving us with the winners for this year. While few lucky ones will be able to call the night a success thanks to their victories, many others walked out of the event empty-handed and with aching hearts. Oppenheimer won big at the award ceremony, taking home several prestigious awards, including Best Picture. However, Oppenheimer’s victory comes at the expense of another incredible film, Killers of the Flower Moon.
Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)
Killers of the Flower Moon was nominated in ten categories at the Oscars, but luck was not on its side as the film didn’t win a single award.

Welcome to this review of this past Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, right here on Nerdly… Let’s see what went down on this week’s show!
Match #1: Seth “Freakin” Rollins & Sami Zayn vs. “Dirty” Dom & Jd McDonagh (No-Contest) The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
In the final moments of tag team action, surprise interference from The Judgment Day brought a sudden halt to the match. The bedlam intensified in the aftermath when Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso rushed to the ring to even the odds of The Judgment Day and McDonagh’s post-match attack on Rollins and Zayn. The post-match brawl resulted in an irate Raw General Manager Adam Pearce banning all involved noncompeting WarGames participants from the arena prior to the main event WWE Undisputed Tag Team Title Match.
My Score: 2 out of 5 Match #2: Shinsuke Nakamura def. Otis The following is courtesy of wwe.

In 2020, campaigning at the height of the global pandemic, the Biden campaign leaned heavily on influencers to reach young voters. Republican rivals called it a cop out — they said Biden was “hiding in his basement” — but it was hard to argue with the results of that social media-intensive strategy: Biden won voters under the age of 29 by a 26-point margin.
In 2024, the Biden campaign is doubling down, with plans to add even more than the roughly two dozen staffers who worked on the campaign’s influencer program in 2020. But this time around,...

Amazon MGM has hired Searchlight Pictures’ longtime distribution chief Frank Rodriguez as its new general sales manager, the studio announced in a memo to employees Thursday.
Rodriguez brings more than 40 years of distribution experience to his new company, starting his career at 20th Century Fox in 1982 after graduating from Uc Santa Barbara. Fox launched Searchlight in 1994 and tapped Rodriguez to join the new specialty division, where he worked for two years before joining Jeffrey Katzenberg’s newly launched DreamWorks Pictures.
At DreamWorks, Rodriguez oversaw sales for the studio’s films in New York, and when it was acquired by Paramount Pictures, he joined that studio and became its SVP of Eastern sales.
In 2012, Rodriguez returned to Searchlight and began an 11-year run as distribution chief that saw him oversee the release of multiple Oscar winners, including four that won Best Picture: Steve McQueen’s “12 Years a Slave,” Alejandro Inarritu’s “Birdman,...

Disney+ dropped the finale of The Worst of Evil a week earlier than we anticipated, and now we must finish the series in one sitting. The graphic show is about an undercover cop trying to investigate a drug dealing network that functions between South Korea, China, and Japan. In Episode 8 and Episode 9, we were taken aback by how much Junmo changed after joining the investigation, turning into a violent animal, and for what? Will it all be worthwhile, or will his wife never see him the same way again? We’ll find out by the end of The Worst of Evil.

Jeff Burr, director of “Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III,” “From a Whisper to a Scream” and “Straight Into Darkness,” has died. He was 60.
Director-writer Jim Wynorski shared the news of Burr’s death on Facebook, writing that he “passed away last night [Oct. 10] in his sleep.”
Burr helmed New Line’s “Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III,” starring former pro wrestler R.A. Mihailoff as the villain in the 1990 installment. He later directed several entries in the “Pumpkinhead” and “Puppet Master” franchises, including “Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings” (1993), “Puppet Master 4” (1993), “Puppet Master 5” (1995) and “Puppet Master: Blitzkrief Massacre” (2018).
