The production, which involves 13 one-hour episodes for television, comes from Media Rights Capital and Netflix and is expected to launch the company known primarily for DVD distribution as a major creator of original dramatic programming. Netflix, which has more than 20 million subscribers, outbid such traditional pro...
The series, which has been described as a $100 million project in Hollywood trade publications, will be a remake of an acclaimed 1990 BBC mini-series starring Ian Richardson. The Spacey-Fincher production will be an American version of the story of political scheming and media manipulation.
Fincher, who directed the feature films "The Social Network" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," will direct the pilot. "The Social Network" was also partially filmed in Baltimore.
"House of Cards" will be the third big-name, big-budget politics-themed production to arrive in Maryland during the last year, joining HBO's "VEEP" series, with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and the film "Game Change" starring Ed Harris and Julianne Moore.
The two HBO productions are expected to premiere this spring on the premium cable channel. Incentives from the state played an important role in bringing all three productions to Maryland.
TV and film production in Maryland disappeared with the end of HBO's "The Wire," and many of the skilled production workers in the area had to go on location to other states to find work in recent years -- until the arrival of "VEEP" and "Game Change," which not only put local actors and production workers back on the ...
"Our office has been in discussions with the studio about "House of Cards" for over a year, and this announcement is a result of the efforts and our partnership with the Baltimore City Film Office, the Maryland Film Industry Coalition, local film industry unions and county officials in the Baltimore region," said Jack ...
News of the production was hailed at City Hall Thursday.
“We are thrilled to welcome another quality television series to Baltimore. When a project like this comes to the city, jobs are created, small businesses are supported and the economic impact is enormous," Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said.
“The film industry is returning to Baltimore thanks to the Maryland Film Production Employment Act," said Debbie Donaldson Dorsey, director of the Baltimore Film Office and secretary of the Maryland Film Industry Coalition. "The new incentive program went to work immediately, bringing two impressive television series t...
Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays a senator who suddenly becomes vice president of the United States in this HBO series, which finished filming in Baltimore late 2011. It is expected to debut on HBO in spring 2012.
The Ottawa Senators will have a new look tonight as two players return from long-term injuries.
While defenceman Matt Carkner was expected back after a conditioning stint in AHL Binghamton, the likely return of centre Peter Regin is something of a surprise.
Regin, who has been out the last seven weeks or so with shoulder problems, said Saturday morning he’s ready to play.
Zenon Konopka will sit as a healthy scratch in his place, while no moves will be needed on defence. Sergei Gonchar is day-to-day after suffering an injury against New Jersey Thursday.
Carkner said he was slated to play with puck-moving rookie David Rundblad, joking that there will be “two skill guys back there.
Regin is expected to play wing on the second line with Nick Foligno and Daniel Alfredsson, while it looks like Milan Michalek, Jason Spezza and Kaspars Daugavins will combine on the top trio.
— Filip Kuba is practicing and skating in an effort to build up some strength in his injured shoulder. MacLean said he’s still about a week away.
— Scary moment for the Senators’ farm team last night. Prospect defenceman Patrick Wiercioch took a slap shot clearing attempt in the throat during the Binghamton Senators’ loss to the Norfolk Admirals. Wiercioch was taken to hospital and, according to Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin hockey writer Joy Lindsay, was in s...
The UN must recognise Hizb Allah as an important factor in implementing the resolution calling for Syria's full withdrawal from Lebanon and the disarmament of the country's militias, Secretary-General Kofi Annan has said.
The UN chief was responding to a question about the disarmament of Hizb Allah, which showed its strength on Tuesday at a huge pro-Syrian rally in Beirut attended by hundreds of thousands of people who chanted anti-US slogans.
Two huge banners read in English: "Thank you Syria" and "No to foreign interference".
Annan said the world needed to accept that in every society different groups may hold different views.
"Of course, we need to be careful of the forces at work in Lebanese society as we move forward," he said.
"But even the Hizb Allah - if I read the message on the placards they are using - they are talking about non-interference by outsiders ... which is not entirely at odds with the Security Council resolution, that there should be withdrawal of Syrian troops," Annan said.
"But that having been said, we need to recognise that they are a force in society that one will have to factor in as we implement the resolution," he said.
The rally by Hizb Allah vastly outnumbered anti-Syrian rallies of the past weeks.
"We need to be careful of the forces at work in Lebanese society as we move forward"
The Syrian-backed Lebanese resistance group, which is funded by Iran, is the best armed and best organised faction in Lebanon and enjoys strong support among Lebanon's Shia Muslim community.
Many of the signs at the rally in Riad al-Sulh square denounced UN Security Council Resolution 1559, which calls for Syrian troops and intelligence agents to leave Lebanon immediately and demands the disarming of militias, referring to Hizb Allah.
Syrian soldiers entered Lebanon in 1976 to try to quell a civil war that began the previous year. They remained through 14 years of fighting that ended in 1990, and about 14,000 are still there, though they have started pulling back to the border.
Annan declined to discuss the timetable for withdrawal, saying he sent Terje Roed-Larsen, his top envoy on the Syria-Lebanon issue, to talk to top officials in Beirut and Damascus this week about the pullout and was awaiting his return.
"After his discussion, then I will know better how we are going to proceed," Annan said. "I am going to give a report to the council in April. I hope I will be able to report progress."
The secretary-general was asked whether the United Nations was considering sending a force to Lebanon after the Syrian withdrawal to ensure security. The world body has a peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon, but it has no mandate to operate elsewhere in the country.
"I've read in certain newspapers that the UN may have to send in a force to monitor the withdrawal of the Syrian troops, but I have no such mandate as of today," Annan said, adding that he was not involved in any discussions about a UN or international force for Lebanon.

The Marylebone Cricket Club, considered the custodian of cricket laws, has made a U-turn on Ravichandran Ashwin's 'Mankading' of Jos Buttler in an IPL match, saying it found the Indian's action against the spirit of the game after a review.
The MCC had earlier backed Ashwin's right to run out Buttler at the non-striker's end without a warning on his bowling stride. But has changed its position within a day of its original statement.
"Having extensively reviewed the incident again and after further reflection we don't think it was within the spirit of the game," MCC's manager of the Laws, Fraser Stewart was quoted as saying by British newspapers here.
"We believe the pause was too long between the time Ashwin reached the crease and the moment it was reasonable to expect the ball would be delivered. When Buttler could have reasonably expected the ball to be delivered, he was in his ground."
In its original statement on Tuesday, the MCC had stated, "...it has never been in the Laws that a warning should be given to the non-striker and nor is it against the Spirit of Cricket to run out a non-striker who is seeking to gain an advantage by leaving his/her ground early."
Even in its fresh take, the MCC maintained that the non-strikers should remain behind the line till the time the ball is delivered.
"It is also unfair, and against the spirit of cricket, for non-strikers to leave their ground too early. All these debates wouldn't be necessary if non-strikers remained in their ground until the ball is on its way down the pitch," Stewart said.
MCC took responsibility for laws of cricket back in 1788. The changes to the laws are now determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC) but the copyright remains with MCC.
Stewart rejected suggestions that his statement is a change of position by the MCC on the matter.
"We didn't come down either way (in the original statement). We now think at the key moment Buttler was in his ground," he said.
Buttler's dismssal was the first case of 'Mankading' in the 12 editions of the IPL.
The incident became contentious as Buttler was still behind the crease when Ashwin was in his delivery stride. The senior off-spinner waited for the batsman to step forward before whipping off the bails.
"Buttler, it is fair to say, did not make a concerted effort to get back into his crease after Ashwin had delayed his delivery, and didn't help himself in that respect," Stewart said.

Land Rover has released the third instalment in an eight-part branded content series that follows the British & Irish Lions' rugby tour of New Zealand.
The first and second instalments of the Tracking the Lions series launched in May, and have so far amassed roughly 15,000 views on YouTube. The third was launched last week. The three have racked up a total of more than 1m views on Facebook.
The series takes fans behind the scenes of the touring rugby union team, and tracks the course of the Lions, from squad selection and progress on the field, to key moments and milestones.
Land Rover, which has sponsored the Lions for 16 years, mobilised its roster of ambassadors - all of whom have played for the side - to act as hosts and narrators of each episode.
The latest instalment (below) follows back row players James Haskell and Justin Tipuric, and winger Tommy Seymour as they navigate mountainous terrain in Land Rover's new Discovery model.
Part-way through their journey, the trio call on former rugby World Cup winner Will Greenwood to "rush over with some tea bags, milk and decent chat".
The video, which shows the players revealing secrets about their team-mates, allows Land Rover to showcase the Discovery "in an editorial way", said sport and entertainment agency CSM, which created the content series.
"That puts the vehicle at the heart of a key part of Land Rover’s activation of its Principal Partnership of the Lions team," said the agency, which also handles sponsorship and comms activity for Land Rover.
The series is hosted on Land Rover's owned channels, including on Facebook and its dedicated rugby account on Twitter (below). The campaign runs across the UK, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia.
The British & Irish Lions, made up from the best players from the England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales teams, are currently touring in New Zealand.
The All Blacks claimed victory in the first test between the two sides, which took place at the Eden Park stadium in Auckland on Saturday (24 June).
The former head of public affairs at embattled .au domain administrator auDA has come clean about taking his family to Disneyland on the organisation’s dollar, hours before details of the trip were exposed by Fairfax Media.
Last night The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age published a story based on “obtained copies of draft and final forensic reviews prepared by advisory group PPB” into misuse of expense accounts and lavish spending within the members organisation under its previous management.
Members had known about the PPB report for some time, but despite calls for its publication to be expedited, its findings remained unreleased.
Hours before journalist Adele Ferguson published the story yesterday evening, Paul Szyndler took to an online forum to “get to the bottom of this before rumours spread and relationships are fractured”.
Writing on dntrade.com.au, Szyndler details his conversations with Ferguson that day.
“The most serious accusation Ms Ferguson mentioned was that I took my family to Disneyland on the auDA dollar. Guess what? I did,” he wrote.
Szyndler says that auDA had a “very clear and well understood” policy at the time whereby staff, after getting a quote for business class travel and accommodation could spend up to the same amount on personal arrangements.
According to the Fairfax story, the PPB report references Szyndler, alleging he “had personal AMEX charges of $1043 to Disneyland, $898 for accommodation at Californian amusement park Knott’s Berry Farm Hotel and $8012 for flights for himself and his family”. The trip was arranged to coincide with the ICANN (Internet C...
“As long as we arrived at meetings in a fit and ready state to represent the interests of .au in various fora, we could do what we wished with the arrangements…My family joined me on a number of international trips. None cost any more than it would have cost to send me alone,” Szyndler wrote in his pre-emptive post.
Other spending reported by Fairfax by former auDA staff includes a $11,500 for a stay in Bali with a family member, $3040 at New York restaurant Wolfgang’s Steakhouse and $3834 over three occasions at Melbourne fine dining restaurant The Point, Albert Park in 2014.
Last week the auDA board wrote to members to say it had contacted Victoria Police regarding "a number of practices of several former auDA directors". Ferguson writes that the PPB report is understood to be among material provided to police.
In an email message sent to the organisation's members and stakeholders, independent chair Chris Leptos said he was briefed on the undisclosed 'practices' during his first week in the role back in November.
"Your Board concluded that those practices warranted referral to the Victoria Police," Leptos, also an independent non-executive director of the PPB Advisory board, wrote. "As you would appreciate, it is not appropriate at this stage to provide further details regarding this matter."
