Cynopsis: International
11/12/07

Good morning.  It's Monday, November 12, 2007, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. 

INTERNATIONAL MARKET:

Granada International's The Champions series is to be remade in Hollywood. Guillermo del Toro will write, direct and produce the science fiction action film for United Artists. It will be produced by C/W Productions and executive produced by Robert Green, formerly of Granada International.

The Boys From Baghdad High, a BBC and HBO Documentary Films co-production, is a new 90-minute documentary about the lives of four Iraqi kids capturing a year of their lives through their own cameras.  Production was done by British production companies Renegade Pictures and StoryLabTV.  It will air first on BBC2 on January 8 and then in the U.S. on HBO as a 75-minute program, according to Variety.

Correction : The new series, Dad's In The Attic, is a Breakout Films, Muse Entertainment, and Summit Crescent Productions co-production produced in association with Canada's YTV and France 2.  Friday's edition incorrectly stated YLE.

Australia's ABC TV takes a stand to not attend or support either of this year's annual the Australian Film Institute Awards ceremonies following the AFI's decision to shift a number of the TV categories from the televised ceremony (December 6) to the non-televised ceremony (December 5).  ABC TV believes the move "shows a lack of respect for the television nominees, and seriously diminished the role television plays in the ceremony."  Key TV categories being moved off of the televised ceremony include bests in Children's Drama, Comedy Series, light entertainment, supporting actor/actress, direction, screenplay, and performance in a TV comedy.  ABC's Director/Television, Kim Dalton explains the broadcaster has, "spoken with the AFI to see if there is any way they will address our concerns, and they have advised us that changes can't be made."


NATPE '08 - THE U.S. Multiplatform Video Marketplace - Jan28-31 - SPECIAL RATE Code: CYN08


CROSS-MARKET:

ABC is starting off the holiday season with the classic 30-minute animated Thanksgiving-themed PEANUTS special, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, created by late cartoonist Charles M. Schulz.  It will air with Spanish subtitles via secondary closed captioning on November 20 at 8p.

Univision Communications Inc. and the University of Miami will host a Republican Candidate Presidential Forum on December 9 at the University of Miami's BankUnited Center in Coral Gables, FL. It will be broadcast at 7p on Univision's television, radio and online platforms.  The Republican candidates participating in the forum, in alphabetical order, are Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Congressman Duncan Hunter, Senator John McCain, Congressman Ron Paul, Governor Mitt Romney, and Senator Fred Thompson.

The Univision Television Network's telecast of the 8th Annual Latin Grammy Awards on November 8 reached 12.6 million viewers and was the award show's biggest broadcast ever for A18-34. According to Nielsen Media Research's Fast NTI Ratings, the broadcast brought in 2.3 million A18-34 and 2.7 million P12-34, a +15% and +8% increase versus the show's 2006 airing, respectively.
