Mediterranean reality show borrows from 'Brother'

Dr. Malcolm Tunnicliff and also the trauma team performance with an accident victim in BBC America's"24 Hrs within the ER." FlanaganCinema verite meets the er in "24 Hrs within the ER," which debuts today on BBC America. The convergence was inevitable. From "Dr. Kildare" within the '60s to sudser "General Hospital" to present day "House" and "ER," medical shows happen to be a standard feature of scripted TV also it was just dependent on time before a skein like "24 Hrs" will come along and produce the existence-and-dying tales of the trauma center to reality television. But how can you film inside a real er teeming with fast-moving medical employees along with a rapid succession of trauma sufferers looking for immediate attention? "24 Hrs," which first broadcast on Funnel 4 within the U.K., solved this problem by borrowing in the playbook from the voyeuristic "Your Government" -- spying this is not on a house but around the busy accident and emergency facilities of London's King's College Hospital, where squealing ambulances deliver one battered patient to another. The show used "fixed rig" technology, implementing a range of 70 robot cameras placed discreetly around the hospital's walls and roofs. Each was cabled to some truck within the parking area in which a small military of specialists and operators released zoom, pan and tilt instructions, taking in sometimes gory detail what goes on to patients -- stabbed, shot, hurt in accidents -- as they are accepted and treated. Acquiring the audio was especially challenging because radio microphones needed to be mounted on patients and family members. The producers and hospital exercised a consent protocol everybody needed to sign before anything might be shot or broadcast. "In the beginning it appeared as an unmakeable series," stated producer-director Amy Flanagan. "The logistics, the ethics, 170 people around the production team, 100s of patients -- a nightmare." Each one of the 48-minute episodes happens on the 24-hour period. The producers shot for 28 straight days, taking 4,200 hrs of footage. Flanagan stated the remote camera system permitted the program's intense human drama and closeness. "They understood these were being shot however they did not feel the existence of a camera operator," she stated. "There have been no deck hands playing around with boom rods or wires. When a patient decided to be shot someone would put a mic in it and then leave.Inch The 70 cameras permitted coverage from multiple angles, yielding a glance "a lot more like drama than traditional factual TV," stated professional producer Magnus Temple. Funnel 4 shot the show using standard-def and tape, however the network has restored the series, Temple stated. "This time around they need it shipped on HD and we'll most likely record onto hard disc. It's well worth the extra investment." Temple and the production partner Nick Curwin formerly used fixed-rig technology on the U.K. reality skeins "The HouseholdInch and "One Born Every Minute" (the U.S. version of "Born" airs on Lifetime), however for "24 Hrs" installed the strategy on anabolic steroids. Temple wouldn't discuss your budget of "24 Hrs" but stated, "Even though infrastructure is very costly, because you are getting 14 episodes from 4 weeks of shooting, the per-hour cost resembles standard factual TV."

Fantastic Fest: Rom-Com Extraterrestrial , Erotic Musical Underwater Love Charm with Lies and Turtle Sex

Four years after bringing his feature debut Timecrimes to Fantastic Fest (where it won the Best Picture award), Spanish director Nacho Vigalondo returned to Austin, a place so warm and familiar he liked it to returning to the womb. “It’s like going back into my mother’s vagina,” exclaimed Vigalondo, addressing the friendly crowd at the debut of his sophomore film, Extraterrestrial. “So I get inside my mother’s vagina, and for some reason you are all there inside!” Extraterrestrial is a vastly different film than Vigalondo’s time-travel thriller Timecrimes, but it’s just as well matched to the Fantastic Fest spirit, a sweet little romantic comedy in the guise of an alien invasion movie. It begins one day as Julio (Julin Villagrn) wakes up the morning after a drunken one night stand with Julia (Michelle Jenner), a gorgeous but mysteriously aloof young lady who can’t seem to wait for her hook-up to leave, already, until both realize the city outside is strangely quiet. While they’ve been asleep, alien ships have materialized in the skies and the population evacuated, leaving them alone with no internet, no cell service, and only each other to depend on. That is, until Julia’s awkward neighbor ngel (Carlos Areces, star of last year’s terrifically twisted Fantastic Fest entry The Last Circus) reveals he’s stayed behind as well, not so secretly because he’s desperately in love with Julia. And then Julia’s boyfriend Carlos (Ral Cimas) returns home for her, bearing tales of government quarantines, and leaving the foursome locked in an amusing mire of shifting relationships, shared lies, and increasingly paranoid fears that there might actually be a real alien among them. Vigalondo lends a sharp sense of humor to the proceedings, and despite occasionally using clumsy fade outs to get from scene to scene, the film makes its way to a sweet, unconventionally romantic ending. It is, at its core, more character-driven romantic comedy than science fiction film, the ultimate realization of which may turn off those expecting the latter. But, as Vigalondo explained of his misleading alien element, “There is no reason. It’s like The Birds. You like The Birds? It’s a classic!” — Speaking of sweetly romantic but unconventional Fantastic Fest entries, just try to wrap your head around Shinji Imaoka’s Underwater Love: It’s a pink film, meaning it follows in the grand tradition of Japanese softcore erotic cinema, it’s a musical featuring songs by German duo Stereo Total, and the story — well, it involves a thirty-something woman named Asuka (Sawa Masaki) visited by a former classmate, Aoki (Yoshir Umezawa), who died 17 years ago and came back to life as a dancing, cucumber-earing mythical turtle-like creature called a kappa. Then there’s the chain-smoking, dress-wearing supernatural hippie, the death clock, the inter-species coupling, and the anal pearls. But more on those delights later. Shot by renowned DP Christopher Doyle (whose love for the drink came up uncomfortably often in the film’s intro and Q&A), Underwater Love is disappointingly unpretty to look at, thanks perhaps to a limited budget but probably more to a decision to pursue a washed-out visual look. Still, every now and then comes a breathtaking Doyle composition; the blue sky reflected in a stream, or fast-motion time lapse lingering on the solemn body of a naked woman in a river. But shot in about a week and with a cheeky acceptance of its limitations (Example: The “kappa” is an actor wearing a visibly fake turtle mask. Just go with it!), Underwater Love gets the basic job done, which is to bring a wonderfully perverse (in a good way) and playful love story to life. The musical aspect, however, is a letdown, despite an opening number set in a factory that called to mind Bjork and Catherine Deneuve frolicking among machinery in Dancer in the Dark. Imaoka admitted he only included it because he was asked to by higher ups, and considering that the whole production completed filming within just eight days (a luxury by pink film standards, apparently), who can blame him for at least trying? If anything, the nonsensical lyrics and awkward choreography only lend more wild whimsy to the show. Which brings me to the anal pearls. Rest assured this is the only film in history that will feature comically childlike turtle-people having sex with human women (the turtle penis fellatio scene is a LOL-worthy highlight) and pulling magical rocks out of their crotches which, if inserted into a human’s anus, will avert death. And I guarantee you’ll never see a case of necrophilia-as-CPR again on film — at least, it couldn’t possibly be as desperately romantic as it is here.

Dish Network launches streaming service

Dish Network unveiled a streaming product utilizing the brand of Blockbuster, the company it rescued from bankruptcy five months ago. Launching Oct. 1, Blockbuster Movie Pass will be a $10 supplement to Dish Network subscribers; it won't be available to those who don't subscribe to the satcaster. That may have drawn sighs of relief over at Netflix given widespread anticipation that Dish would be launching a standalone product to rival the dominant upstart as pricing changes and restructuring sent its stock price plummeting earlier this week. The package boasts over 100,00 movies and TV shows available by mail, as well as 3,000 game titles. More than 3,000 movies streamed to TV, 4,000 movies streamed to your computer. More than 20 premium movie channels are also part of the service. Backed by a national promotional campaign, Blockbuster Movie Pass will have a DVD-by-mail component as well as a streaming to both TV and computers. Wireless devices won't be available for streaming at launch. "While the physical channel continues to be very important to the Blockbuster brand and product, we recognize more consumers are tuning into digital as a means of consuming entertainemnt," said Michael Kelly, president of Blockbuster, at a press conference in Friday San Francisco. The service will also be bundled free for one year to new subscribers who buy the America's Top 200 tier for $40 per month. Kelly also indicated that there may still be a standalone streaming service under the Blockbuster brand that won't be packaged with the Dish subscription, but gave no specifics. The product essentially discourages the cord-cutting that would endanger Dish's core service by melding its linear channels and TV Everywhere selections with Blockbuster's existing mail-based and streaming services. Dish CEO Joe Clayton touted the ability to combine all of the above on one bill as a feature that would allow Blockbuster Movie Pass to stand out from the crowd of video services ranging from Amazon to DirecTV. Among the differentiating factors from the competition Dish execs sought to highlight was the free exchange of discs in Blockbuster stories and no additional charge for Blu-ray rentals. Netflix charges an extra $2 for Blu-ray rentals. Contact Andrew Wallenstein at andrew.wallenstein@variety.com
