Netflix slates in Europe, a review of Filmart, the defunding of Argentinian film and Stan's U.S. originals are in International Insider this week.
Netflix struts: At times, the past year has felt like a succession of bad news stories from the international streamers, as they pull out of local markets and axe originals from their services to reduce costs. Elsewhere, Jamie Dornan will play twins in a crime noir, Peaky Blinders maker Steven Knight is turning his attention to Ireland’s most famous stout-making family in House of Guinness(working title) and Stephen Graham, Jack Thorne and Philip Barantini will join forces once again for a one-shot drama.
