    Netflix Acquires “THE STARLING” for $20 Million

    April 22, 2020 /

    Netflix has paid around $20 million dollars for Melissa McCarthy’s upcoming film project titled The Starling. The streaming service paid that amount based on a script and a sizzle reel that was being shopped around. The film also has a great cast attached that includes Kevin Kline, Chris O’Dowd, and Timothy Olyphant. Other studios that tried to get it included 101 Studios, Lionsgate and Sony 3000.

    In the story, “McCarthy and O’Dowd play a married couple trying to rebuild their relationship after suffering a tragedy. While her husband heads off to deal with his grief in recovery, Lily Maynard tries to heal in the real world, one that becomes surreal when she grows a beautiful garden in their backyard, only to find herself repeatedly attacked by a starling that has built a nearby nest. She turns to a psychiatrist-turned-veterinarian with baggage all his own (Kline) who tries to help Lily with her bird problem and ends up making a larger impact on her life.”

    Timothy Olyphant joins season 4 of “Fargo”

    September 18, 2019 /

    Via Deadline.

    Justified star Timothy Olyphant is returning to FX with a key role in the upcoming fourth installment of the network’s anthology series Fargo, headlined by Chris Rock.

    Created, written, directed and executive produced by Noah Hawley, who also serves as showrunner, Season 4 is set in 1950 in Kansas City, MO. The locale serves as the crossroads and collisions of two migrations — Southern Europeans from countries like Italy, and African Americans who left the south in great numbers to escape Jim Crow, both fighting for a piece of the American dream. In Kansas City, two criminal syndicates — one Italian, led by Donatello Fadda, one African American, led by Loy Cannon (Rock) — have struck an uneasy peace, which the heads of both families have cemented by trading their youngest sons.

    Olyphant plays a character named Dick “Deafy” Wickware in a major recurring role.
