The Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday said it has charged director Daniel Adams with fraud in connection to his 2018 film “An L.A. Minute.”
In a Tuesday filing, the SEC accused Adams, along with music producer Michael Flanders, of defrauding two investors and inducing them to invest $160,000 through two companies Adams and Flanders co-founded together: Spiderworx Media LLC and An L.A. Minute LLC.
They obtained the investments, the SEC said, by using a “pattern of lies and deception.”
“Adams and Flanders made multiple material misrepresentations and omissions to at least two investors to induce their investments in defendants’ securities offerings,” the filing reads. “By lying to and misleading these investors, each of the defendants has violated the antifraud provisions of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b5(b) thereunder and Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act.”

The news front on Spike TV's adaptation of Stephen King's The Mist has been relatively quiet in recent months, but that's now changed thanks to a new interview Lilja's Library conducted with Christian Torpe, the creator, executive producer, and showrunner of The Mist TV series, who discussed adapting King's novella, his respect for Frank Darabont's 2007 film, King's reaction to the pilot episode, and more.
Speaking with Lilja's Library, Torpe expressed his desire to do something different with his take on King's seminal novella, including not retreading Darabont's adaptation, which he greatly admires:
"It is not the same story as in the book and the movie, nor is it the same characters – but fans of the story will still see clear parallels... Some things are exactly the same, some are totally different. Some things you think are the same as in the original, but turn out to be something else entirely.

Yesterday we showed you the first trailer for Revolution, the excellent-looking new series coming to NBC in the fall. Today at the official NBC upfronts they made an announcement about another show we’ll be watching: Crossbones. It’s about the pirate colony run by Blackbeard, which also happens to be “the first functioning democracy in the Americas.”
This is not to be confused with another pirate series, the Starz Treasure Island prequel Black Sails that we told you about a week ago. Hmm, last year fairy tales, this year pirates. We are totally good with that. Here’s hoping that the pirate horde is as successful as the fairy tale gang, especially Crossbones, given that this series creator, Neil Cross, was the creator of the fully excellent British crime drama Luther.

There's been a lot of NBC TV news today. We've brought you some trailers and clips from a bunch of shows that are coming out soon; one of them was the new J.J. Abrams and Jon Favreau series Revolution. The network has also announced that it will be developing 10 episodes for a new action-adventure pirate series called Crossbones, which comes from award-winning Luther creator Neil Cross. It sounds like it's going to be pretty awesome! To make this series look good they're going to have to pump some serious money into it to get some great production value.
Here's the Synopsis:
It’s 1715 on the Bahamian island of New Providence, the first functioning democracy in the Americas, where the diabolical pirate Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard, reigns over a rogue nation of thieves, outlaws and miscreant sailors. Part shantytown, part marauder’s paradise, this is a place like no other on...
