Sweden's Ostlund preps 'Tourist'

GIJON, Spain -- Swedish helmer-scribe Ruben Ostlund is prepping "Tourist," his follow-up to breakthrough hit "Play." A Swedish-French language movie, "Tourist" is set up at Ostlund's Gothenburg-based Plattform Produktion. Plattform is in talks for Philippe Bober's Coproduction Office to co-produce and handle "Tourist's" international sales, as on "Play," Ostlund said at Spain's Gijon Festival, which kicked off its 49th edition Friday. Plattform's Erik Hemmendorff and Marie Kjelson will produce. The Swedish Film Institute and Swedish regional fund Film I Vast, which has put up development costs, are backing "Tourist." A three-part movie, "Tourist" highlights "behavior that people have seen in others -- mostly in conflict areas -- think they'll never resort to, and then have to admit that they have that side to their character," Ostlund told journalists at Gijon. One part includes what Ostlund hopes to be the most spectacular avalanche in film history. It turns on a happy Swedish family -- father, mother, two kids -- holidaying in the French Alps. An avalanche sparks a spontaneous act of cowardice from the father, who can't understand why he reacted that way. Ostlund, a professional ski filmmaker, is currently working on the screenplay. Plattform aims to trigger the avalanche this winter, combining shots with bluescreen vfx. Principal photography is skedded for spring, Ostlund told Variety. A discomfiting chronicle, based on true events, of five black boys robbing three white kids -- "the idea was to open up discussions about something which people have difficulties talking about, Ostlund said -- "Play" was one Competition standout during Gijon's early running. Valeria Donzelli's French B.O. breakout "Declaration of War" confirmed its overseas potential, drawing applause and even tears at a press screening. Belgian Bouli Lanners "The Giants" elicited glowing press plaudits: "A work of genius," reported Asturias' El Comercial. Playing Monday, Gijon's first major world preem, "Iceberg," from Spaniard Gabriel Velazquez ("Sud Express"), proved a contemplative three-story coming-of-age drama, set beside Salamanca's placid Rio Tormes, in which three adolescents face their first character-shaping big problems in life. Underscoring a new industrial model in Spain of ratcheting down budgets to limit exposure to a severely contracting local market, Velazquez said that, while he took a risk going into production on "Iceberg" before closing its budget, the drama was eventually fully-financed by incentives. In the Rellumes sidebar, the near phantasmagoric docu "Hollywood Talkies," from Barcelona's Oscar Perez and Mar Ribot -- turning on the creation of Spanish-language version of early sound pics -- also had its fans. "Copito," a 3D live-action/toon movie from Filmax, one of Spain's foremost forces in feature film animation, world preems later this week. Fest fetes eclectic Austrian helmer Michael Glawogger ("Whore's Glory," "Contact High"), Bertrand Bonello ("House of Tolerance") and festive NY-based indie cineaste Marie Losier, who presented her feature "The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye." Spaniard Montxo Armendariz -- whose films have nearly always twinned critical and commercial success in Spain -- will pick up the Nacho Martinez National Cinema Prize. Fest closes Saturday with thriller "The Woman in the Fifth," from Pawel Pawlikowski, whose "The Last Resort" topped Gijon in 2000. Contact the Variety newsroom at news@variety.com

Michael Lombardo to Be Honored By Saban Free Clinic (Q&A)

HBO programming president Michael Lombardo will be honored with the Saban Free Clinic's Leadership Award on Nov. 21 (which historically means he agreed to twist arms, fill tables and arrange for talent) at the organization's 35th annual dinner. It has Bill Maher performing and Entourage's Jeremy Piven as emcee. Lombardo is helping out at a crucial time for the clinic. Depending on how the Supreme Court rules, health care reform could be on the way. But the clinic feels it will have a key role serving those who fall through the cracks. Lombardo recently toured the clinic and THR asked him about its work and the upcoming dinner. The Hollywood Reporter: Why are you doing this? Michael Lombardo: First of all, Ellen Hoberman, Dana Walden and Sam Fischer are enormously persuasive. And the Free Clinic does vital, critical work. There are so many causes out there, but when you walk into the clinic you see peoples lives being changed. There aren't many places where you see that in action. THR: You went to the clinic, what impressed you? Lombardo: What's unbelievable about the space is it belies the misconception of what a "clinic" should feel like. I had in mind going to something akin to County General. And it was just the opposite. It's a welcoming, warm environment where people are treated respectfully. It's like a for-profit hospital. THR: But it's a relatively small charity. Lombardo: What's unfortunate is they can't provide more. They don't have the resources to give medical care to everyone who needs it. There's something like 3 million people who don't have health insurance in L.A. County. THR: Does anything in particular strike you while being there? Lombardo: Once or twice a week they have volunteer dentists from UCLA providing dentures to people. I know it's not life and death, but it makes the difference between having a job and not having one. I was really touched by that. THR: You feel a responsibility to help with this type of dinner? Lombardo: It comes with the blessings that come to you in life. Also, it's amazing the number of people in this industry who are not just writing checks to the Clinic but are really involved with it. I worked on Wall Street for a little while; I have friends in other industries, but there's a philanthropic character that runs through this industry that's unusual. It makes me enormously proud to be a part of it. THR: You have good health coverage at HBO? Lombardo: Yes, we do. But if I didn't, I'd be happy to walk in the Free Clinic.

Watercooler: Is American Horror Story's Tate a Ghost?

Evan Peters, Jessica Lange and Frances Conroy For just about any teen, that kid sure seems being an old soul. Maybe like he's! Last evening, American Horror Story ended its crazycakes two-part Halloween episode getting a significant hint in regards to the mythology in the Harmons' "Murder House." Apparently, in the event you die round the premises, you stick to the premises. Note Ben's crazy zombie mistress, the bitchy former entrepreneurs, the demon baby inside the basement, and typically the most popular two-faced maid, Moira. Only the feast of Samhain allows these ghosts to wander in the grounds and acquire their errands done or do no matter the undead frequently after they undertake corporeal form.

So, did Tate open fire on his childhood friends after which it kill themselves in the home? Was he removed with the cops? Or, since now that we understand that he's also Constance's boy, was he offed by their very own mother? Ultimately, since she's stylish for the house's capacity and also hardwearing . greatly departed around, killing her kid within the property lines would both save him from prone to jail and him close by forever.

The customer costs that satellite and cable operators pay to hold the funnel have dropped to five a sub monthly, from 7 this past year once the funnel was still being Discovery Health, based on Kagan.Deficits for any startup operation aren't any surprise, but OWN's growth curve continues to be steep because the cabler has battled mightily to achieve viewer traction using its original programming.

Discovery Boss David Zaslav preached persistence throughout the quarterly earnings get in touch with which experts grilled him about OWN's finances.

When it comes to distribution, the internet is within more homes than Discovery Health, so it changed, only about 5.8 million more.Zaslav stated he's certain that OWN's fortunes will improve since Winfrey is becoming full-time Boss."We're spending so much time to build up content which will attract the wedding guests,Inch Zaslav stated. "We're building some significant audience growth and flow. Viewership expires from previous levels (and) there's some nice momentum starting 2012. We're beginning to swing in an optimistic direction in term of having individuals to hang out with us."For that year up to now, OWN is basically flat in primetime in comparison to the Discovery Health predecessor. After three days around the air, "Rosie" and "Oprah's Lifeclass" haven't yet make a difference within the amounts."Rosie," airing at 8 p.m., began by helping cover their typically 321,000 audiences in the first week, decreasing to 229,000 in week two and 223,000 in week three.

In females 25-54, the show has inched up from typically 118,000 in week someone to 122,000 a week ago.OWN's greatest original success story up to now may be the weekly docu-series "Our America With Lisa Ling," which began gradually captured but has proven steady progress. In October the show averaged a proper 542,000 audiences, and 230,000 in females 25-54. Reality skein "Thanks for visiting Sweetie Pie's" has additionally become some traction, tugging in 421,000 total audiences in October, including 144,000 in females 25-54. Zaslav pointed towards the performance of "Our America" and "Sweetie Pie's" in protecting the net's performance to experts."It's like we stated at the start, it's gonna take a while."David Leavy, Discovery's corporate communications topper, strengthened the business's mantra that new cablers take 3 to 5 years to actually find their footing with audiences -- despite The famous host oprah Winfrey's title around the door. "Yes, it's The famous host oprah Winfrey, therefore the expectation is really a litte greater, but we're happy,Inch Leavy told Variety. "We most likely did not have sufficient original programming whenever we released. It is the right trajectory -- no a person's proclaiming victory, but we are seeing eco-friendly shoots."Beyond OWN, Discovery's third-quarter outcome was strong, buoyed by development in worldwide marketplaces. Net gain rose to $238 million from $189 million the prior year. Revenue leaped 18% to just about $1.1 billion with 19% growth at both domestic and worldwide systems.For that twelve month, the organization stated elevated its forecasts, pegging revenue in the future among $4.17 billion and $4.25 billion, and internet profit around $1 billion.
