PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT
 
Nat Geo pulled the plug on a movie adaptation of Bill O’Reilly’s Killing Patton, slated for 2019. It would have been the fifth in a series that started with Killing Jesus. “It was in development for a couple of years, and it was a difficult project to crack,” said the network in a statement to the Hollywood Reporter, which broke the news. “Like most projects in development, it didn’t go the distance, so we passed on it.” Nat Geo is majority owned by 21st Century Fox, owner of Fox News, which cut O’Reilly loose in April amid claims of sexual harassment.
 
AMC is opening writers’ rooms for three projects under consideration for potential series orders: NOS4A2 from Jami O’Brien (Fear the Walking Dead); Pandora from Sam Vincent & Jonathan Brackley (Humans); and Silent History, from Claire Carre & Charles Spano (Embers). The projects fall under AMC’s “scripts-to-series” model, in which AMC skips the traditional pilot process and instead opens writers’ rooms to develop scripts for several episodes and a detailed look at a potential first season before deciding whether to move to a straight-to-series order.
 
T Group Productions signed an overall co-production deal with Madica Productions calling for Madica to create, develop and produce unscripted and scripted programming, taking brands, talent and IP and converting them into content that lives across all genres to be co-produced with T Group in the United States, Canada as well as internationally.  
 
CMJ Productions signed death penalty investigator Monica Jordan to star in an unscripted true crime series. The show, being developed in conjunction with true crime author and investigative journalist Steve Miller, follows Jordan as she takes a closer look at closed murder cases.
 
ITV America signed Grant Cross and his Lost Arts Entertainment to an exclusive production deal through which he will create and produce scripted and unscripted content under the ITV America banner.
 
PactUS , the association of independent TV production companies formed in June 2015, and the multi-platform video network-focused Global Online Video Association announced a series of new initiatives, including the formation later this year of a mini-market with linear TV and digital buyers. “As a creative and democratized market, we need to be stronger and can do that as a group,” said PactUS president David Lyle. “Our primary goals in this area are to improve communication, pursue tax credits and other critical areas of mutual concern, which can only be accomplished collectively through an association like ours.”
 
HBO is developing Annapurna Television’s limited series adaptation of bestseller Today Will Be Different. Julia Roberts is producing and will star as a woman determined to be her best self, navigating the complications of modern life.

ADVERTISING & BRANDS
 
Who’s ready to get the party started this summer? WHOSAY surveyed advertising and marketing firms in NYC and found 68% of respondents have summer Fridays, 25% are looking for booze-related activities and New York’s hottest summer DJ is DJ Cassidy (but Jasmine Solo’s a DJ to watch).

MTV is partnering with Mtn Dew Spiked Lemonade to bring back MTV Beach House this summer, kicking off Thursday, June 8 with an on-the-ground beach festival featuring MisterWives, KYLE and more. The summer party, hosted by MTV talent including Nessa (Girl Code), Cody Christian (Teen Wolf) and Chico Bean (Wild ‘n Out), will play out via on-air interstitials with content across MTV, Comedy Central and Spike social and digital channels throughout the month of June.
 
TV advertising consistently outperformed digital in ROI, and provided a higher return on investment than print or radio, according to a study from Neustar that covered 2010-2016. In 2017, consumer electronics marketers report almost 4 times the business lift for a 1$ TV spend; for movie marketers, it’s over 3 times. “Dollar for dollar, TV provides the most scale and delivers the highest return on ad spend from both a sales and awareness perspective,” said the report, commissioned by Turner and Horizon Media. “It’s important to note that even TV will reach a saturation point, and the next marketing dollar should be spent elsewhere. To ensure an optimized marketing mix, advertisers should adopt a data-driven approach that can inform the ideal media allocation across all channels based on all internal and external market conditions to meet their performance goals.”
 
 
CASTING
 
Brendan Fraser (The Mummy) has joined the cast of FX’s Trust, centered on the kidnapping of John Paul Getty III. Fraser will play a private investigator and fixer for J. Paul Getty.

Nexstar reached a new OTT deal with ABC that covers DirecTV Now, YouTube TV, Sony PlayStation Vue and ABC TV Everywhere. In addition, ABC extended affiliation agreements for nine stations, which entered into an OTT master agreement. “ The combination of Nexstar’s unique, locally produced news programming and content married with ABC’s marquee national content and access to these new and emerging digital distribution platforms is an unbeatable value proposition,” said Nexstar CEO Perry Sook
 
Content studio Gunpowder & Sky and Indigenous Media are teaming for a deal to co-develop, co-produce, and co-distribute 4 social-first films, primarily in the thriller genre.
