CINEMAX PICKS UP NEW DRAMA SERIES OUTCAST

14/2/2015

Comments

 
CINEMAX has picked up the ten-episode drama series OUTCAST, it was announced by Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming. Executive produced by creator Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead) and Chris Black and produced for CINEMAX by FOX International Channels (FIC). The show will also be executive produced by David Alpert of Circle of Confusion, Sharon Tal Yguado of FIC and Sue Naegle.

“We are thrilled to be in business with Robert Kirkman, a visionary talent who has the unique ability to tap into today’s zeitgeist, making him a perfect fit for the newly expanded CINEMAX roster,” said Lombardo.

“We couldn’t be more excited to bring Robert Kirkman’s new drama to CINEMAX. OUTCAST is an ambitious series and Adam Wingard has directed a powerful pilot. I am very proud of the work that Robert, Sharon and team have put together, ” said Hernan Lopez, President and CEO, FOX International Channels.

OUTCAST, based on the Skybound/Image comic title by creator Robert Kirkman and artist Paul Azaceta, follows Kyle Barnes, a young man who has been plagued by demonic possession all his life. Now, with the help of the Reverend Anderson, a preacher with personal demons of his own, Kyle embarks on a journey to find answers and regain the normal life he lost. But what Kyle discovers could change his fate — and the fate of the world — forever.

Patrick Fugit (Gone Girl) stars as Barnes, a man searching for answers, and for redemption, who sequesters himself from those he loves for fear of causing greater hurt. Philip Glenister (Life on Mars) stars as Reverend Anderson, a West Virginia evangelist who believes he is a soldier in God’s holy war against the forces of evil on Earth. An inveterate drinker and gambler, he doesn’t believe God intends people to sweat the small stuff. Gabriel Bateman (Stalker) stars as Joshua Austin, an eight-year-old who lives across town from Kyle. To his family’s dismay, he appears to be in the clutches of demonic possession, but there’s something very different about this possession and its connection to Kyle Barnes.

OUTCAST is produced for CINEMAX by FOX International Channels, who will serve as the studio and international network on the series; the pilot was directed by Adam Wingard (The Guest).

The non-profit World War II Foundation announces that Wargaming, an award-winning online game developer and publisher, will be the official title sponsor for the Band of Brothers actors reunion in Normandy, France, in June 2015.

The reunion will benefit the non-profit educational mission of the World War II Foundation and recognize the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. On June 5, 6 and 7, the actors that starred in the Band of Brothers TV show will visit the Overlord Omaha Beach Museum, the Utah Beach Museum, and the Richard D. Winters Leadership Monument in Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, Normandy, France. Through this reunion, the non-profit World War II Foundation will continue in its mission to preserve the stories of the World War II generation.

“I am very much looking forward to having Wargaming as our title sponsor,” said Tim Gray, Chairman of the World War II Foundation. “Wargaming is the world’s leading source for the best multiplayer military gaming and with over 110 million players, it will certainly help promote the Normandy events and the time-critical work of our Foundation, and War History Online.”

“We are delighted to sponsor the D-Day commemoration in June 2015 with the World War II Foundation,” said Wargaming’s Director of Special Projects, Tracy Spaight. “We share the World War II Foundation’s passion for history and desire to preserve the stories of the greatest generation. It was here, in 1944, that the Allies broke through Hitler’s much vaunted Atlantic wall and hastened the collapse of the Nazi regime. Their heroism and sacrifices, brought home in television series like Band of Brothers, needs to be remembered.”

Social outreach and the ongoing preservation of military history is of the utmost importance to Wargaming. The Company’s partnership with the World War II Foundation is not the first. Other global projects include the sponsoring of USS Iowa, the recovery of the world’s last remaining Dornier Do 17, and the Wargaming Education Center at the Tank Museum at Bovington, UK. As Wargaming’s titles focus on aspects of both World Wars, it is important that the company help preserve exhibits of historical significance all across the world. 

War History Online, one of the world’s leading providers of online military information pertaining to the 20th century, will also join Wargaming in support of the Normandy events this June.

All events are open to the public.
