Exclusive: A reimagination of the Charlie’s Angels franchise for tweens set in Brazil is in development from Sony Pictures Television – Kids and Sony Pictures Television-backed Floresta.
Viewers can expect the same high-octane action and comedy from the various Charlie’s Angels projects as well as a mysterious boss and empowered young female characters. Brazilian actress and writer, Suzana Pires (Sol Nascente; Flor do Caribe) will pen the Portuguese-language, live-action collaboration.
At the center of the tale are three pre-teens from different backgrounds and realities who are selected by a talent scout according to their special skills to join a secret school of spies called the Angels Academy. Each episode will follow the angels as they solve crimes and save the world…all while navigating their first year of spy school. The stories will blend a mix of real, relatable and at times, absurd cases, amped up with elements of fun and wish fulfillment.

There’s a new game launching in the world of sports — wooing more ad dollars to games featuring female athletes.
GroupM, the large media-buying consortium backed by ad giant Wpp, vowed Wednesday to double the amount of money its clients spend on women’s sports in 2024 and said it would seek to create a dedicated marketplace for the programming genre, starting in the industry’s next “upfront” negotiation period. The firm has already secured interest from advertisers including adidas, Ally, Coinbase, Discover, Google, Mars, Nationwide, Unilever and NBCUniversal’s Universal Pictures.
“There is a business opportunity for women’s sports, and we can feel it,” says Denise Ocasio, executive director of investment for GroupM’s U.S. operations, in an interview. One client, Ally, pushed the media buyer last year to consider the effort, which will seek to create new broadcast sponsorships and other types of content packages, as well...

Filmmaker Samantha Moore’s stop motion BAFTA nominated documentary Visible Mending is about the therapeutic power of knitting, and how the tactile hobby can be so much more than just an activity to wile away the hours. What’s so clever about Moore’s documentary is how she brings the viewer in with cutesy handcrafted characters of animals and knitwear and uses them as a trojan horse for a wider conversation surrounding the elderly and the importance of emotional repair. It’s also worth mentioning that the doc isn’t entirely constructed through stop motion as Moore bridges sections of her film with traditional 2D animation, the form in which she has built an impressive career upon. As we find ourselves heading towards the BAFTAs, Dn caught up with Moore to talk about the personal therapy she’s found in knitting, the challenge of finding her interviewees and telling their stories respectfully,...

Kate Johnson was a senior at the University of Portland, but she never made it to graduation. "Stolen Voices, Buried Secrets" told the story of her murder at college. She was assaulted and killed in her own dorm room. According to Oregon Live, she had moved into the dorm only two weeks prior to work as a residence hall monitor.
With leads dwindling, police reached out to a wide circle of people who knew Johnson for DNA samples, and Deniz Aydiner was one of those who willingly participated. His DNA was a match to samples found at the crime scene and on Johnson's wrists. By then, Aydiner was back in his native Turkey.
According to court documents, he wanted to return to the country to be with his wife, so authorities made sure everything was in order. Then, they met and arrested him at the airport.
