<p>The EU is planning to cut down on the "disproportionate" amount of British television and film content that is currently being shown across Europe. The decision comes after Brexit.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
According to a report in The Guardian, the decision is likely to effect the entertainment industry of the UK and the country's soft power outside of Britain.<br />
<br />
UK is reportedly the biggest producer of film and TV content in Europe and its dominance has been described as a threat to the cultural diversity of other European nations.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The Guardian has reportedly got access to an internal &nbsp;EU document. The decision is likely to add to the long list of points of high tensions in the relationship between EU and UK since the country left the single market and customs union.<br />
<br />
Several countries in EU have already put a quote on how much British content would be allowed airtime in their country. Under the EU’s audiovisual media services directive, a majority of airtime has to be allotted to terrestrial television. Atleast 30 % of the number of title on video should be available on OTT platforms.<br />
<br />
France has set a 60% quota for European works on VOD.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The EU document that reportedly has been tabled with diplomats on June 8, states that inclusion of UK content in such quotas has led to disproportionate amount of British content across Europe.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The European Commission has now been given the task to do launch a study to find out the impact EU's cultural diversity has due to British programming. This, the diplomats feel, would be a first step towards limiting the rights granted to UK programming.&nbsp;<br />

Father's Day: Movies & shows that will make your dad's special day more entertaining

<p>Netflix Inc added acclaimed filmmaker Steven Spielberg to its roster with a joint announcement on Monday of a deal for his Amblin Partners production company to supply multiple movies a year for several years.<br />
<br />
The Academy Award-winning director of big-screen classics such as 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,' 'Schindler`s List' and 'Saving Private Ryan' will continue to direct and produce movies for Comcast Corp`s Universal Pictures under a separate agreement.<br />
<br />
The new arrangement brings a high-profile name to the list of talent working with Netflix at a time when a host of competitors including Walt Disney Co and Amazon.com Inc are competing for streaming audiences.<br />
<br />
Spielberg had been at odds with Netflix in recent years when he argued that movies seen primarily on television should be eligible for Emmys and not Oscars. He has spoken out about wanting to preserve the experience of seeing movies in theatres.<br />
<br />
"My entire life has been spent trying to give audiences something in a large, large forum," Spielberg told Reuters in 2018. "I love the whole feeling of social interaction outside ... Those are the kinds of audiences I like to talk to."<br />
<br />
Netflix, which plans to release more than 70 movies this year, sends some of its films to theaters for limited runs. The company operates the world`s largest streaming service with nearly 209 million subscribers worldwide.<br />
<br />
In a statement, Spielberg said discussions with Netflix Co-Chief Executive Ted Sarandos showed "it was abundantly clear that we had an amazing opportunity to tell new stories together and reach audiences in new ways."<br />
<br />
Amblin produces several movies beyond the ones that Spielberg directs himself.<br />
<br />
Recent Amblin projects included 2018 best picture winner "Green Book" and 2019 World War One drama "1917," both distributed by Universal. It is possible Spielberg could direct some of Amblin`s movies provided to Netflix.<br />

Financial terms of Amblin`s deal with Netflix were not disclosed.</p>

<p>Five months after it became the first major streaming hit of 2021, 'Lupin'&nbsp;will return Friday with fans desperate to see how Omar Sy's gentleman-burglar escapes the latest cliffhanger.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Netflix delivered only the first five episodes of the show in January, inspired by the cat-and-mouse novels of Maurice Leblanc from the early 20th century because the pandemic interrupted filming last year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sy plays Assane Diop, a fan of the novels who uses the character of Lupin as he seeks vengeance for his wrongly accused father. The combination of a charismatic lead, Parisian backdrops and an undercurrent of race relations made it the first bona fide made-in-France hit for Netflix, which is investing heavily in the country.</p>

<p>The year 2021 marks as the centenary year of maestro Satyajit Ray. And Netflix is providing a perfect tribute to the filmmaker. The trailer of 'Ray' an anthology based on stories by the late maestro was released on Tuesday and it narrates four intriguing tales.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The stories are titled 'Hungama Hai Kyon Barpa', 'Forget Me Not', 'Bahrupiya' and 'Spotlight'. Two of the stories are directed by Srijit Mukherji, while Abhishek Chaubey and Vasan Bala helm one each.&nbsp;<br />

The ensemble cast includes Manoj Bajpayee, Gajraj Rao, Shweta Basu Prasad, Ali Fazal, Anindita Bose, Kay Kay Menon, Bidita Bag, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Harshvarrdhan Kapoor, Radhika Madan and Akansha Ranjan Kapoor.<br />
<br />
Talking about his segment 'Hungama Hai Kyon Barpa' which features Manoh Bajpayee and Gajraj Rao in the lead, Abhishek Chaubey said, "I`m drawn to stories that twist with whimsy and humour. Hardly anyone crafts those better than Satyajit Ray and a chance to tell this story is a great opportunity for me. With Manoj Bajpayee and Gajraj Rao playing off each other on screen, 'Hungama Hai Kyon Barpa', I hope is as much of a joy to watch as it was to make. Super stoked about the show and can`t wait for people to watch it!"<br />

Srijit Mukherji who has in the recent past directed 'Feluda Pherot' based on Ray`s Feluda adventures in Bangla directs two parts in the anthology- 'Forget Me Not' and 'Bahrupiya'.</p>

'Ray' trailer: Three filmmakers give a modern take to Satyajit Ray's stories 

<p>Singer-actress-entrepreneur Jennifer Lopez has signed a multi-year, first look deal with Netflix for her production house, Nuyorican Productions.<br />
<br />
According to reports, Lopez will create and back content for the OTT platforms- both scripted and unscripted. Lopez will produce both TV and film content which will showcase diverse female actors, writers and filmmakers.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Two Netflix features starring Lopez, `The Mother`, directed by Niki Caro, and `The Cipher`, based on the novel of the same name by Isabel Ojeda Maldonado had been previously announced by the streamer.<br />
<br />
"Throughout every aspect of her career, Jennifer Lopez has been a force in entertainment. In partnering with her and Nuyorican, we know she will continue to bring impactful stories, joy and inspiration to audiences around the world," Scott Stuber, Netflix`s head of global films, said in a statement.<br />
<br />
Bela Bajaria, Netflix`s head of global TV, praised Lopez as "a singular talent whose creativity and vision have captivated audiences and inspired the next generation around the world. For years, she and the team at Nuyorican have brought a distinctive voice to entertainment, and I`m looking forward to working with her and the team to create new series for our members to love."<br />
<br />
`The Mother` follows a deadly female assassin who comes out of hiding to teach her daughter how to survive. `Lovecraft Country` showrunner Misha Green wrote the screenplay, with current revisions by Andrea Berloff. Caro`s other credits include `The Zookeeper`s Wife` and `Whale Rider`.`The Cipher` centered on FBI Special Agent Nina Guerrera, who finds herself drawn into a serial killer`s case after he strategically posts complex codes and riddles online. The codes correspond to recent murders, designed to lure her into a cat-and-mouse chase. Liza Fleissig, Ginger Harris-Dontzin, Catherine Hagedorn and Maldonado will executively produce, and Courtney Baxter will serve as associate producer.<br />
<br />
"I am excited to announce my new partnership with Netflix. Elaine, Benny and I believe there is no better home for us than a forward-leaning content creation company that seeks to defy conventional wisdom and directly market to the millions across the globe who no longer view art and entertainment with the kind of boundaries and limitations of the past," Lopez said.<br />
<br />
She further added, "We at Nuyorican Productions are thrilled to find like-minded partners in Ted Sarandos, Scott Stuber, Bela Bajaria and the whole team and look forward to getting to work right away."<br />
<br />
Lopez is currently training for her role in `The Mother`, with production set to begin this fall and a scheduled release in the fourth quarter of 2022. The multi-hyphenate has appeared in many films, including `Hustlers`, which she co-produced with her Nuyorican banner.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chrissy Teigen has&nbsp;been in the news headline since her recent controversy with Courtney Stodden. Now, following the cyberbullying scandal, Chrissy has dropped out of Netflix comedy 'Never Have I Ever'.<br />
<br />
The cookbook author was part of the second season as a guest voiceover role and was set to give her voice in one episode of the upcoming Netflix coming of age comedy from Mindy Kaling, but she herself decided to step away from the role.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Variety reports that the 35-year-old model role is expected to be recast. The series features voice-over narration for key characters performed by guest actors.<br />
<br />
Chrissy faced major criticism after Courtney Stodden alleged in a Daily Beast interview that the cookbook author used to send her DM on Twitter back in 2011 telling her to “kill” herself.<br />
<br />
After the backlash, the mother of two publicly issued an apology to model Courtney Stodden.<br />
<br />
Taking it to Twitter, Chrissy wrote, "Not a lot of people are lucky enough to be held accountable for all their past bullshit in front of the entire world. I`m mortified and sad at who I used to be. I was an insecure, attention-seeking troll. I am ashamed and embarrassed at my behaviour but that is nothing compared to how I made Courtney feel."<br />
