Over the past few years, one US media news site has zoomed into prominence over the likes ofVariety and Hollywood Reporter. Indeed, I link to Deadline pretty much every day in the news section.
It started off as a blog run by Nikki Finke, before being acquired by Variety, in 2010. Except, as anyone who’s been following these things well knows, there’s been a lot of fighting behind the scenes and Finke recently ‘escaped’.
Now it’s all being made into a movie starring Jean Smart and Christina Applegate and you can see the trailer below*.
* Fooled you. It’s a Funny or Die video.

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
