But when his youngest daughter Sophie is kidnapped, Andrew must reckon with his past or the decisions he’s made will come back to hurt those he loves.
A+E has been ramping up spend on international co-pros and is also backing The Kollective thriller with the European Alliance and a returnable series adaptation of Tony Parsons’ novel Your Neighbour’s Wife. All3Media-backed Raw, meanwhile, mainly makes premium docs including The Tinder Swindler, Don’t F**k with Cats and a new social media series, all for Netflix,...

Big Talk boss Kenton Allen described Vulture as a cross between Below Deck and Narcos.

We return to the 2015 horror Unfriended, and how it and other films explore the dark side of social media...
Nb: The following contains spoilers for Unfriended
Unfriended is one of those horror films that becomes less effective the noisier it becomes. Released across America by Universal last year, the film's a twist on the old teen-slasher format, so of course there’s lots of screaming, stalking and violent death. But these scenes of bloody pay-off are a distraction from Unfriended’s quieter moments - for its here the movie's true power lurks.
At a time when the found-footage genre is in desperate need of reinvention, Unfriended finds an ingenious twist on the old first-person, shaky-cam sub-genre. The entire movie takes place on the flickering laptop screen of its protagonist, Blaire (Shelley Hennig). We’re subjected to an initially dizzying array of opening and closing windows, as Blaire...

Maisie Williams may be best known for a starring role on Game of Thrones but her latest project - Channel 4's Cyberbully - places the 17-year-old actress in surroundings that couldn't be more different from the wilds of Westeros.
The real-time thriller casts Williams as Casey Jacobs, a teenage girl battling an anonymous cyber-stalker and is, she says, "infused with a lot of different stories" drawn from real life experiences.
"Casey lives most of her life on the internet," Williams explains. "She uses an alias for a lot of things, so she can be anonymous but still post how she feels. I know that happens a lot - I have a Tumblr under a false name and no-one knows that it's me."

17 year old Maisie Williams, who shot to fame playing Arya in Game of Thrones, stars as Casey in Cyberbully, a one-off drama about the dangers lurking on the internet, which airs on Thursday 15 January at 9pm on Channel 4.
Casey is a teenager who experiences the worst the web has to offer – from peer-to-peer bullying to advanced computer hacking – and fights to overcome her ordeal.
Your new project is Cyberbully. You play Casey. What’s her story?
Casey begins as a young teenager who’s struggling to express herself, and the only way she feels safe is to do that anonymously through the internet. She finds that, using a fake name, she can post honestly about things that annoy her, things that make her laugh, things that make her happy and sad. That’s the way she gets teen angst out of her system, I guess. When we meet her,...

Though the 24-year-old Harry Potter star's speech at the United Nations in September had plenty of stars like Taylor Swift and Harry Styles supporting her cause for gender equality, one actress not impressed is Game of Thrones' Maisie Williams.
"A lot of what Emma Watson spoke about, I just think, 'that doesn't bother me,'" the outspoken 17-year-old tells the Guardian in a new interview. "I know things aren’t perfect for women in the UK and in America, but there are women in the rest of the world who have it far worse."

Calling out what she believes is "first-world feminism," she adds, "There are creepy things that people say online that I shouldn't have to read, but there are bigger things going on in other countries.”
