Groenlandia Chief Matteo Rovere on Banijay-Owned Company Launching Three Shows, Including True Crime Series ‘This Is Not Hollywood’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Matteo Rovere, chief of Banijay-owned Groenlandia, talks launching three shows including the true crime series 'This Is Not Hollywood.'
The Groenlandia chief points out that a distinctive aspect of their current slate is that it’s “based on innovative ways of telling stories that are rooted in Italy’s [recent] past told with a fresh, present-day vision.” This contemporary take stems largely from the fact that the writing teams and directors fostering the TV content and movies that the group is making are all aged “under 50,” as he puts it. Ready to drop globally on Netflix on Oct. 30 is Season 2 of Groenlandia’s “The Law According to Lidia Poët,” the period show lead-directed by Rovere about Italy’s first female lawyer, played by Matilda De Angelis, that got a speedy renewal following its successful bow last year. On the film side, there is Giulia Steigerwalt’s Venice title “Diva Futura,” the true tale of a Rome porn outfit founded in the 1980s by impresario Riccardo Schicchi and porn-star-turned politician Ilona Staller (aka Cicciolina).
