Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Idris Elba is entering the “Hijack” episode “Comply Slowly” as his 2024 Emmy Award submission for Best Drama Actor. “Comply Slowly” aired on July 26, 2023, and is the sixth episode of the Apple TV+ drama’s first season.
In “Comply Slowly”: Sam’s (Elba) son Kai (Jude Cudjoe) escapes the assassins by hiding inside a wardrobe. The British government concedes to the demands of the hijackers and releases Edgar (Simon McBurney) and John (Ian Burfield) from prison. However, when the police keep following them, Edgar texts the hijackers to kill one passenger and send a photo. Sam intervenes and convinces Stuart (Neil Maskell) that there is already a dead passenger on board and therefore no need to kill another one. The government task force tracks Edgar’s car using drone surveillance and sees that he and John are headed to a nearby airfield. Meanwhile,...

This film was first brought to my attention when I saw some guerrilla marketing in and around Bradford, England, the place in which The Selfish Giant was set and filmed. I’m from West Yorkshire so I was interested to see the region represented and was curious about the story too.
Written and directed by Clio Barnard (The Arbor), The Selfish Giant follows the two characters of Arbor and Swifty, two young Yorkshire lads who, after being excluded from their school for fighting, take to the streets in their local area in Bradford and stumble on a scrap dealer named Kitten (Sean Gilder) who puts them to work collecting scrap metal for him, which they can weigh-in and get some money for. Based on the actual occurrence...

There is something disarming about stories that deal with childhood friendships, especially ones that are filmed close to where you live. The Selfish Giant was filmed around the city of Bradford, so there is a familiarity to the landscapes that I see in the movie as I live there. What is more effective is the natural acting of two boys plucked out of obscurity showing a friendship that is all too real and all too painful at the end.
The Selfish Giant is based on an Oscar Wilde short story, and after watching the film you’ll find yourself wanting to read the tale to compare the two. For the film though it tells the story of Arbor (Conner Chapman) and Swifty (Shaun Thomas). Brought together as...

Acts Of Godfrey
Stars: Iain Robertson, Simon Callow, Harry Enfield, Doon Mackichan, Ian Burfield | Written and Directed by Johnny Daukes
If anything complicates life it’s people and fate. People are complicated individual and like to think they are in control of their fate. Acts of Godfrey takes a look at this and shows a different side of thing, where fate is in fact manipulated for events to happen and people are pushed into actions that others see the best of them, no matter if this is in fact the truth.
Vic Timms is an insurance man who is not good at this job, he should be pushing people into buying his product but he lacks belief in it. He has a cynical yet moralistic look on life that makes him appear in a perpetual bad move, life just does not work for him. At the start of the story...

A couple days before "The International" opens wide, the first six minutes of the espionage film has been made available to view. Courtesy of MSN, the video focuses on Clive Owen's Louis Salinger and Ian Burfield's Thomas Schumer as they try to get information over the illegal activities done by International Bank of Business and Credit.
The thriller begins with a close-up shot of Salinger who despite the rain stays vigilant on watching the parked car in front of Berlin's Central Station. Inside the car, Thomas Schumer is seen talking to who seems to be an informer. Pressing to get his evidence, he arranges for another meeting with the man behind the wheel before getting out of the car.
However, before Schumer can get across the street to meet Salinger, he gets a heart attack and falls down to the ground. Seeing it, Salinger quickly makes his way towards Schumer,...
