Despite current travel restrictions, a flurry of high-profile U.S. films and series are set to shoot in France, including Lionsgate’s “John Wick: Chapter 4” and Netflix’s “The Gray Man.” Starz mini-series “The Serpent Queen,” meanwhile, has been shooting in southern France since April.
Paris hadn’t hosted any big American shoots for over a year as France struggled to ride out the various waves of the pandemic. The country finally emerged from a lengthy lockdown, lifting most restrictions as Covid-19 cases began dropping and more of the population received vaccinations. A 9 p.m. curfew is still in place but doesn’t apply to film productions, which are allowed to film at night with a certificate.

As a premium cable network, Starz doesn't have to please ad buyers. Instead, it has to please paid subscribers. So while the Nielsen ratings don't play into cancellation and renewal decisions in the same way, they do give us a rough idea of which TV series attract and retain viewers. This summer, The Rook TV show makes its debut on Starz. Will the first season provide the kind of programming viewers want? Will The Rook be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.

An Interview with director Joram Lürsen of ‘The Resistance Banker‘/ ‘Bankier van het Verzet’
Slowly music and water segue into men filing into a conference room to hear a story they know nothing about. Water, the national symbol of Holland, a land forever waging a strategic battle with water, plays a thematic role in this film that only at the end becomes clear in its meaning of kinship and brotherhood.
Coming from an aristocratic Dutch banking family, brothers Walraven and Gijs van Hall risk their families and futures to slow the Nazi war machine by creating an underground bank to fund the Dutch resistance in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. Actually they rob the Dutch National Bank, something that to this day is not discussed as such although the heroism of the men has finally been acknowledged.

As an up-and-coming filmmaker, Jarom Lürsen never wanted to make a World War II movie. A preponderance of those stories have already been told, after all. But when a monument was made for someone no one really knew about in his home country of the Netherlands, Lürsen found himself drawn to the little-known tale.
“He was a hero that was always hidden,” Lürsen told TheWrap’s Steve Pond at a Q&A on Tuesday following a screening of his film “The Resistance Banker,” the Netherlands entry in the Oscar foreign film race and this year’s winner of four Golden Calves — the equivalent of the Oscars in the Netherlands — including best film and best actor.
