MTV Networks International (MTVNI) launches new localized Nickelodeon services under a new carriage deal with UPC digital cable platform in the Czech Republic and Romania. This marks the first time that kids in the Czech Republic will be able to watch Nick in their local language, and furthers Nick’s presence in Central and Eastern Europe, Russia and Africa to 6+ million households. The additional distribution on UPC Romania expands the existing distribution of the local language service, which has been available in Romania since February. Additionally, local language websites ( www.nickelodeon.cz and www.nickelodeontv.ro ) will support the new Eastern European services. NEW PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT Robert Zemeckis is set to direct a feature film adaptation of upcoming young adult novel Dark Life, per Variety. Disney and Zemeckis’ ImageMovers are partnering with the Gotham Group (Spiderwick Chronicles) to make the family-targeted futuristic underwater adventure movie. Gotham Group recently acquired the movie rights to Dark Life, which Scholastic will publish on May 1, 2010. Dark Life was originally set to be a two-book series but according to the report could now include further titles. If you are wondering if Dark Life will be motion-capture movie, like ImageMovers Digital’s The Polar Express, Beowulf, A Christmas Carol and the upcoming Mars Needs Moms, you are not alone. But, earlier this year Disney said that it would close ImageMovers Digital as a cost saving measure so we’ll have to wait and see.
