Westworld Opens on Foxtel Media Release: Monday April 10, 2017 THE LEFTOVERS Season Three Thursdays from April 20 at 8.30pm or stream instantly on Foxtel Play Foxtel and HBO are proud to present the third and final season of the Peabody Award-winning series The Leftovers, the journey of one family’s desperate efforts to cope with the long-term aftermath of “The Departure” – in which 140 million people vanished from the face of the earth. The cause of that incredible event remains unknown, and there is no indication that those who are gone will ever be seen or heard from again. From Damon Lindelof, co-creator of the hit series Lost, and based on characters introduced in the bestselling 2011 novel by Tom Perrotta (a co-creator and EP), this one-hour HBO drama series focuses on erstwhile residents of a New York town trying to make sense of a global event dubbed “The Departure,” in which two percent of the world’s population were “taken” (i.e. vanished), while others were left behind. Taking place four years after events in Season 2 and nearly seven years since “The Departure”, The Leftovers finds the Garvey and Murphy families – who met, clashed and bonded last season in the “Miracle” town of Jarden, Texas – coming together as they desperately grasp for systems of belief to help better explain that which defies explanation. Their world is crackling with the energy of something big about to happen: a corresponding bookend to the sudden departure that sent them all spinning years earlier, bringing their final journey Down Under for an improbable, and thrilling, series climax. One of the most inventive, unpredictable drama series on television, The Leftovers Season 3 was filmed on location in Texas and Australia. Creator Damon Lindelof said, “Australia is the end of the world geographically and our show is about the end-of-the-world emotionally. And there’s also something about Australian cinema – it’s primal, ancient and spiritual – that felt like it fit The Leftovers, whether it’s Mad Max movies, Walkabout, Wake in Fright, or Peter Weir’s Picnic at Hanging Rock.” Cast regulars include Justin Theroux (Mulholland Drive), Carrie Coon (Critics Choice Award winner for this role), Amy Brenneman (Judging Amy), Kevin Carroll (Paid in Full), Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who), Scott Glenn (The Silence of the Lambs), Regina King (American Crime), Jovan Adepo (Fences), Janel Moloney (The West Wing), Margaret Qualley (The Nice Guys), Liv Tyler (The Lord of the Rings) and Chris Zylka (The Amazing Spider-Man). Joining the cast is Lindsay Duncan (Birdman) as Grace, an Australian ally of Kevin Sr. The Leftovers Season 3 begins April 20, Thursdays at 8.30pm AEST, on Foxtel’s showcase or on Foxtel’s streaming service Foxtel Play.

  • Cast Biographies RILEY KEOUGH (Christine Reade) PAUL SPARKS
    Cast Biographies RILEY KEOUGH (Christine Reade) Riley Keough, 26, is one of Hollywood’s rising stars. At the age of 12, she appeared in her first campaign for Tommy Hilfiger and at the age of 15 she ignited a media firestorm when she walked the runway for Christian Dior. From a young age, Riley wanted to explore her talents within the film industry, and by the age of 19 she dedicated herself to developing her acting craft for the camera. In 2010, she made her big-screen debut as Marie Currie in The Runaways starring opposite Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. People took notice; shortly thereafter, she starred alongside Orlando Bloom in The Good Doctor, directed by Lance Daly. Riley’s memorable work in the film, which premiered at the Tribeca film festival in 2010, earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Milan International Film Festival in 2012. Riley’s talents landed her a title-lead as Jack in Bradley Rust Gray’s werewolf flick Jack and Diane. She also appeared alongside Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey in Magic Mike, directed by Steven Soderbergh, which grossed nearly $167 million worldwide. Further in 2011, she completed work on director Nick Cassavetes’ film Yellow, starring alongside Sienna Miller, Melanie Griffith and Ray Liota, as well as the Xan Cassavetes film Kiss of the Damned. As her camera talent evolves alongside her creative growth, so do the roles she is meant to play. Recently, she was the lead in the highly-anticipated fourth installment of director George Miller’s cult- classic Mad Max - Mad Max: Fury Road alongside a distinguished cast comprising of Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Zoe Kravitz and Nick Hoult.

  • “The Mommy Problem” [Intro Music
    The West Wing Weekly 7.02: “The Mommy Problem” [Intro Music] JOSH: You're listening to The West Wing Weekly. I’m Joshua Malina. HRISHI: And I’m Hrishikesh Hirway. And today we’re talking about episode 2 from season 7, it’s called “The Mommy Problem.” JOSH: It was written by Eli Attie, it was directed by Alex Graves, and it first aired on October 2nd, 2005. HRISHI: In this episode, the astronauts who are stuck in the Space Station have been rescued, but the investigation into the leak about the secret military space shuttle gets ratcheted up as a grand jury gets convened. So, nobody is going to emergency, but somebody is going to jail. JOSH: Exactly. HRISHI: It’s all bad news for the Santos/McGarry campaign. We’re also having trouble getting their message out and projecting an image of Santos that is substantial. So Josh hires a Communications Director, and together they try to deal with the good luck or bad luck of Santos getting called up for Marine Reserve duty. JOSH: Very nice. Substantos. HRISHI: [laughing] Exactly. We may have covered this a little bit before. I think Richard Schiff mentioned that he was not a fan of the second half of season six and season seven, and I feel like you can hear it in his voice just when he says [West Wing Episode 7.02 excerpt] TOBY: Previously on The West Wing [end excerpt] JOSH: [laughing] That’s funny. HRISHI: What did you think of this episode? JOSH: I liked this episode.

  • 9 VITE DA DONNA Regia : Rodrigo Garcia (2005)
    9 VITE DA DONNA Regia : Rodrigo Garcia (2005) 9 VITE DA DONNA (Nine lives) Genere: Drammatico Regia: Rodrigo Garcia Interpreti: Elpidia Carrillo (Sandra), Miguel Sandoval (Ron, guardia), Robin Wright Penn (Diana), Lisa Gay Hamilton (Holly), Holly Hunter (Sonia), Amanda Seyfried (Samantha), Amy Brenneman (Lorna), Sissy Spacek (Ruth), Kathy Baker (Camille), Glenn Close (Maggie), Dakota Fanning (Maria), Jason Isaacs (Damian), Aidan Quinn (Henry), Stephen Dillane (Martin), Molly Parker (Lisa), Joe Mantegna (Richard), Ian McShane (Larry), Mary Kay Place (Alma). Nazionalità: Stati Uniti Distribuzione: Mikado Film Anno di uscita: 2005 Orig.: Stati Uniti (2004) Sogg. e scenegg.: Rodrigo Garcia Fotogr.(Panoramica/a colori): Xavier Perez Grobet Mus.: Edward Shearmur Montagg.: Andrea Folpre cht Dur.: 112´ Produz.: Julie Lynn. Giudizio: Discutibile/ambiguità Tematiche: Aborto; Carcere; Donna; Famiglia - genitori figli; Malattia; Matrimonio - coppia; Soggetto: Nove episodi. SANDRA (Una ragazza madre in carcere). DIANA (Incinta, al supermercato incontra un antico spasimante). HOLLY (Lei e la sorella aspettano il padre violentatore). SONIA (con il marito in visita a casa di amici). SAMMY (Vive con i genitori, il padre paralitico). LORNA (Va al funerale della moglie dell´ex marito). RUTH (Al motel, vorrebbe provare a tradire il marito, ma non ci riesce). CAMILLE (In ospedale, aspetta l´operazione di mastectomia). MAGGIE (Va con la nipotina Maria al cimitero sulla tomba del marito). Valutazione Pastorale: I nove ritratti scritti e messi in immagini da Rodrigo Garcia (figlio di Gabriel Garcia Marquez) hanno l´obiettivo di focalizzare alcune situazioni di difficoltà che il mondo femminile si trova oggi ad affrontare e sopportare. Va detto che la qualità dei nove capitoletti é abbastanza diseguale: il più compatto é forse quello dedicato a Camille in ospedale; gli altri ondeggiano nella esposizione di problemi vari e certo tutti realistici (il carcere, la maternità, il matrimonio, l´equilibrio tra privato e pubblico...) ma non sempre ben centrati.

  • From Hollywood to Hanging Rock Victoria Secures Hbo
    Friday, 3 June, 2016 FROM HOLLYWOOD TO HANGING ROCK VICTORIA SECURES HBO HIT ‘THE LEFTOVERS’ Victoria has landed a Hollywood coup, securing filming of the third and final season of star-studded HBO and Warner Bros. series The Leftovers in Melbourne. Premier Daniel Andrews was joined by HBO's Senior Vice Presient of West Coast Production Jay Roewe at Warner Bros. Studios in Los Angeles, to make the exciting announcement. Creating more than 250 local jobs and injecting around $20 million into the state’s economy, The Leftovers is the largest international television production deal since Childhood’s End was shot in early 2015. Created by Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta, based on Perrotta’s best-selling novel of the same name, The Leftovers is a drama that explores a world in shock and the lives that are changed forever, when 140 million people inexplicably vanish. The first two seasons featured a star-studded cast including Justin Theroux, Carrie Coon, Amy Brenneman, Christopher Eccleston, Liv Tyler, Regina King and Ann Dowd. Broadcast across the US in 2015, the second season was the third-most watched drama, attracting around 6 million viewers every episode. It’s the second time American entertainment powerhouses HBO and Warner Bros. have chosen Victoria as a filming location. Warner Bros. chose Victoria to film its visually stunning feature Where the Wild Things Are, and HBO selected Victoria as the backdrop to its award-winning 10 part television miniseries, The Pacific. A range of unique Melbourne and regional locations will set the scene for the final instalment of the series, with filming to commence in June 2016.

  • The West Wing Weekly 5.21: “Gaza” Guests: Jason Issacs and Janel Moloney
    The West Wing Weekly 5.21: “Gaza” Guests: Jason Issacs and Janel Moloney [Intro Music] HRISHI: You’re listening to The West Wing Weekly. I’m Hrishikesh Hriway. JOSH: And I’m Joshua Malina. HRISHI: And today, we’re talking about episode 21 from season 5. It’s called “Gaza.” JOSH: Said episode was directed by Christopher Misiano, written by Peter Noah, and first aired on May 12, 2004. HRISHI: In this episode, the congressional delegation to Gaza, which includes now-retired Admiral Fitzwallace and Donna, is attacked by a roadside bomb. Two congressmen are killed, and Donna is badly hurt. The episode slips in and out of flashbacks as we learn what happened which includes a romantic dalliance between Donna and a photojournalist played by Jason Isaacs. Coming up later in this episode, we’ll be joined by Jason Isaacs and Janel Moloney. A couple of things worth noting about this episode: Janel Moloney was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress, and it was based on this episode and the previous episode, “No Exit.” JOSH: Right on. HRISHI: And we spent some time in our last episode talking about how amazing her performance was in that one. JOSH: That’s right. HRISHI: Other Emmys for this episode - production designer Kenneth Hardy and set decorator Ellen Totleben won an Emmy for Outstanding Art Direction. The West Wing also won an Emmy for Best Sound Mixing based on this episode. JOSH: How about that? HRISHI: Yeah. JOSH: Well, it looked great. I’m sure it sounded great too, but I’ve only got one good ear [both laugh] so I shouldn’t be the final arbiter of what sounds good.
