Exclusive: Macro Television Studios is teaming with Jezebel filmmaker Numa Perrier to develop the erotic thriller series Toxic.

Hemdale became one of the largest indie studios of the 80s with films like The Terminator and Platoon. Ryan charts its turbulent history...
When Platoon won four Oscars in 1987, it marked not only a new chapter in Oliver Stone's career as a filmmaker, but also the end of a decade-long battle. Since the 1970s, Stone had been struggling to make his harrowing account of the horrors he'd seen firsthand as a soldier in the Vietnam conflict, but was famously turned down by every major studio in Hollywood.
Platoon, and Stone, finally found sanctuary at a small independent studio with a grand-sounding name: the Hemdale Film Corporation. It was Hemdale, and its co-founder John Daly, that had taken a chance on Stone, and when Platoon came out in 1986, the gamble proved to be a shrewd one: its $6m investment was covered by the first month's ticket sales, and the film...

John Daly, the British-born producer who presided over back-to-back best picture Oscar wins as the executive producer of 1986's "Platoon" and 1987's "The Last Emperor," died Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after struggling with cancer. He was 71.
Since 2003, Daly had been chairman of Film and Music Entertainment Inc. He also had begun to establish himself as a director, producing, co-writing and directing 2004's "The Aryan Couple," starring Martin Landau.
Daly entered the entertainment business in 1967 by joining forces with actor David Hemmings to form Hemdale, a company that managed such rock bands as Yes and Black Sabbath.
Hemdale later became a leading independent film producer and distributor in the U.K. with movies like "Tommy," according to a biography issued by Film and Music Entertainment. Under Daly's stewardship, Hemdale produced more than 100 films that grossed more than $1.5 billion.
