Go figure: TNT is airing fewer advertisements during new shows like “Animal Kingdom,” and viewers approve.
Kevin Reilly, president of TBS and TNT and chief creative officer, Turner Entertainment, told reporters Sunday that the network’s initial plan to reduce commercial load on its air has been a success. Freshman drama “Animal Kingdom” has been airing with 10 fewer minutes of commercials (replaced by show content), and Reilly believes that has helped boost the show’s ratings.
“Nobody wants enormous interruptions in the middle of their stories,” Reilly said. “We’ve done studies and focus groups, and it is noted by viewers, who say it’s better and they prefer it.”
“Animal Kingdom” has grown every week since launch, Reilly noted, up 25% since its premiere. He credits some of that growth to the lighter commercial load on the show. Going forward, all of TNT’s new series will likewise have fewer ads and more content.

In its second pre-buy of the festival, Amazon Studios has picked up North American rights to Lynne Ramsay's You Were Never Really Here. The film, which stars stars Joaquin Phoenix, is about to begin shooting in New York. A source pegged the deal at around $3.5 million, which beat fellow suitor A24's bid. Ramsay, who directed the Tilda Swinton-Ezra Miller starrer We Need to Talk About Kevin, adapted the screenplay for You Were Never Really Here, which is based on a Jonathan Ames novel. The story centers on a former war vet (Phoenix) who devotes himself to

When news broke that director Lynne Ramsay had dropped out of Jane Got A Gun just before the start of principal photography, film fans around the world drew a collective, sharp intake of breath. History has taught us that great female filmmakers can be banished to movie jail for as slight a transgression as mediocre box office performance of a completed film, so surely this would mean the end of Ramsay’s career entirely?
Fast forward to the Cannes Film Festival and we have cause to wildly celebrate, as You Were Never Really Here was presented to the international market as a project seeking buyers and distributors.
The fact that You Were Never Really Here also boasts a script by Ramsay – which she adapted from the 2013 novella of the same name by Jonathan Ames – would make this film exciting enough, but added to that pedigree is the fact that Academy...
