Detective Montalbano Has REturned on MHz



'Detective Montalbano' episodes 35 & 36 to premiere on MHz Choice



So here we are, in the unforgettable spring of 2020, with two more episodes featuring your favorite Sicilian detective. Luca Zingaretti reprises his iconic role as Salvo Montalbano in the 35th and 36th installments of this international blockbuster series, which premiered in Italy earlier this year. Series regulars Cesare Bocci (Mimi), Peppino Mazzotta (Fazio) and Angelo Russo (Catarella) also return in the new episodes.







As most of you know, Detective Montalbano suffered terrible blows in 2019 and 2020 with the deaths of creator and writer, Andrea Camilleri, director Alberto Sironi and production designer Luciano Ricceri. Last summer, however, the production managed to create these two new episodes with Detective Montalbano star Luca Zingaretti directing. Enjoy, and raise a glass to the giants who created this series and to the great talents keeping it going.










  • Dear Livia – Premieres May 19, 2020




EPISODE #35: A gifted young researcher suffers a brutal death in a municipal archive but the leads don’t add up: Montalbano discovers a complex personal life but finds no enemies. It’s a heartbreaking case because the young woman was Livia’s personal friend and beloved by her parents and the immigrant orphans she worked with.






  • The Safety Net – Premieres May 26, 2020




EPISODE #36: Montalbano tries to figure out the significance of some mysterious home movies while a break-in at Augello’s son’s school reveals the darker side of social media. In the middle of it all, a Swedish television company ties up traffic (as well as Mimi Augello’s personal life) while they film a period series.

From the producers of Detective Montalbano comes a series of quirky Italian mysteries! In the idyllic town of Pineta on the beautiful Tuscan coast, recently-divorced Massimo Viviani owns the local watering hole, Barlume. He also moonlights as an amateur detective, solving strange crimes with the gossipy gang of eccentric septuagenarians who frequent his bar!

Before Detective Salvo Montalbano became the seasoned and mature chief detective we already know, he was just Salvo, new to Vigata and new to being a police chief. He didn’t always live in that glorious house by the sea, or have Deputy Chief Mimi Augello as a best friend, or Fazio as a loyal assistant.

‘Lestat’ and the ‘Mayfair Witches’ Land a New Home



According to Variety, AMC Networks signed a deal to acquired the rights to author Anne Rice's best-selling novels “The Vampire Chronicles” and “The Lives of the Mayfair Witches.”

The deal includes the rights to the novels “Interview with the Vampire,” “Queen of the Damned,” “The Vampire Lestat,” and “The Witching Hour.”



If all goes as planned, AMC Networks will greenlight the scripting and airing of several series based on each of the novels, which have sold more than 150 million copies worldwide.



Check out this retweet on Christopher Rice’s Twitter page.











Historically, fans of the Anne Rice novels know that she has been trying to develop an interest in the production of a TV series based on the lives of Lestat and his companions since 2016. However, nothing came of it. Then in 2017 on the Anne Rice website, it was announced that Paramount Television and some anonymous source were also interested in the rights to "The Vampire Chronicles". Fans were once again disappointed.



Now with this latest announcement of “The Vampire Chronicles” and “The Lives of the Mayfair Witches going into future production with AMC television, let’s hope the fans of the novels' hopes are not dashed upon rocks again.

Mafia Inclined???

Here are three international Sony Classics mafia films available on Apple TV. All based o true stories.





THE TRAITOR



Directed by: Marco Bellocchio



Screenplay by: Marco Bellocchio, Ludovica Rampoldi, Valia Santella, Francesco Piccolo



Starring: Pierfrancesco Favino, Maria Fernanda Candido, Fabrizio Ferracane, Luigi Lo Cascio, Fausto Russo Alesi, Nicola Calì



THE TRAITOR tells the true story of Tommaso Buscetta, the man who brought down the Cosa Nostra. In the early 1980's, an all out war rages between Sicilian mafia bosses over the heroin trade. Tommaso Buscetta, a made man, flees to hide out in Brazil. Back home, scores are being settled and Buscetta watches from afar as his sons and brother are killed in Palermo, knowing he may be next. Arrested and extradited to Italy by the Brazilian police, Buscetta makes a decision that will change everything for the Mafia: he decides to meet with Judge Giovanni Falcone and betray the eternal vow he made to the Cosa Nostra.










ANGEL OF EVIL



Michele Placido directs this Italian gangster thriller based on the life of Milanese career criminal Renato Vallanzasca. Kim Rossi-Stuart stars as the psychopathic yet perversely charismatic anti-hero, who is serving four consecutive life sentences for a tidal wave of kidnappings, murders and bank robberies that terrorised Milan in the 1970s. The film follows his gang's story, exploring how Vallanzasca first entered the criminal world and fast became an infamous mob boss, leading inevitably to his imprisonment. Francesco Scianna, Valeria Solarino and Paz Vega co-star.









WHITE BOY RICK



White Boy Rick is a 2018 American biographical crime drama film directed by Yann Demange and written by Andy Weiss, and Logan and Noah Miller. Based on a true story, the film stars Richie Merritt as Richard Wershe Jr., who in the 1980s became the youngest FBI informant ever at the age of 14.
