'Tulsa King' Spinoff 'NOLA King' With Samuel L. Jackson In The Works

Posted by on
  Saaaaaalutations! If you thought Paramount+ nabbing Sylvester Stallone to star in Tulsa King said something about what television had become, hear this out: Tulsa King has a New Orleans-set spinoff in development, aptly titled NOLA King , and it’s set to star Samuel L. Jackson. Exact details of NOLA King are under wraps, but Jackson’s character,   Russell Lee Washington Jr.,   has been described as similar to Stallone’s Dwight Manfredi. The series would be set up by a recurring arc in Tulsa King ’s third season, currently in production in Oklahoma and Atlanta, which explains why Variety ’s  telling didn’t call the single appearance they implied as a backdoor pilot. Jackson is expected to film his episodes in July, with production on NOLA King looking at a February start.

'September 5' Covers Its Streaming Date

Posted by on

 


Have a few Munich knacks. Paramount announced on Monday morning that Best Original Screenplay Oscar and Critics Choice nominee September 5 is headed to Paramount+ tomorrow, Tuesday February 25 in the United States and Canada. International rollout will, as usual, be revealed at a later date, but it never quite gets the coverage the domestic arrival to the platform does.

The film was first given a limited release on December 13, and considering Sony Pictures’s Saturday Night’s limited release on September 27 was what brought it to Sony’s typical 120-day window for its films when it landed on Netflix on January 25 despite a wide release on October 11, it’s clearly the best way to gauge speed. And for Paramount’s 2024 slate, it’s actually a pretty slow 74 days, as even Sonic the Hedgehog 3 demonstrated a week ago that everyone else tends to be around 60 days, with a few films going 53. Sonic 3 opened a week later on December 20 and arrived on February 18.

September 5 examines the Munich massacre of 1972, which happened during the country’s hosting of that Summer Olympics its impact on media coverage and live news even to this day. The film follows the ABC Sports broadcasting team and its forced shift from event coverage to the attack and the ensuing hostage situation. Specifically led by Geoff, played by John Magaro, who is a “young and ambitious” producer seeking to show what he is capable of to his boss, legendary TV executive Roone Arledge, here played by Peter Sarsgaard. He works with German interpreter Marianne, played by Leonie Benesch and his mentor Marvin Bader, played by Ben Chaplin. The story “focuses on the intricate details of the high-tech broadcast capabilities of the time”, making the moral decisions that needed to be made against an impossible ticking clock that has so many lives at stake.

The film, also nominated for best drama picture at the Golden Globes, also stars Zinedine Soualem, Georgina Rich, Corey Johnson, Marcus Rutherford, Daniel Adeosun, Benjamin Walker and Ferdinand Dörfler. It’s co-written by Moritz Binder & Fehlbaum and Alex David. Philipp Trauer, Thomas Wöbke, Fehlbaum, Sean Penn, John Ira Palmer and John Wildermuth produced, with Geoffrey Mason, Constanze Guttmann, Rüdiger Böss and Christian Reitz co-producing, and Martin Moszkowicz and Christoph Müller as the executive producers.
