Marene Miller in TV film about Tommy Cooper

Dutch actress Marene Miller (24) will play the role of a journalist in a British biopic about the legendary comedian Tommy Cooper. Miller previously appeared alongside Derek de Lint in two episodes of the successful British detective series Silent Witness that were recently rerun on Dutch television. She starred with Terence Stamp in the short film One Square Mile: London. Last month, Miller appeared on British television in a guest role in the crime series Case Studies. TOMMY, in which Miller is now set to star, is a two-hour TV film for the British television channel ITV. The lead role is played by actor David Threlfall (known for, among others, the TV series Shameless). His widow Gwen (nicknamed Dove) is played by Amanda Redman. The film focuses on the relationship between Cooper and his wife on the one hand, and his love for his assistant Mary-Kay, with whom he had a long-standing affair, on the other. It is not yet known who will play the role of the assistant. Marene Miller plays a Dutch journalist who interviews him after one of his shows. It is a supporting role. According to Miller, it is 'a very fun project that is very good to be a part of.' Marene Miller was born in The Hague but grew up in England and studied acting there. The actress graduated cum laude from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2010. The TV film TOMMY is directed by Ben Caron, produced by Lucy Dyke, and written by Simon Nye (Men Behaving Badly). The Fez-wearing Cooper was a beloved comedian who died on stage during a live TV show in 1984. He was 63. Executive Producer Andy Harries of Left Banke Pictures: "Few comedians have had such a lasting influence on British culture as Tommy Cooper. Tommy was a comedic giant who, in his final years, was torn between his public persona and his personal passion for two different women." It is not yet known when TOMMY will be broadcast on Dutch television.

Silent Ones by Ricky Rijneke wins European prizes

Ricky Rijneke's feature film debut Silent Ones won the Best Cinematography award and the Best Supporting Actor award at the recent edition of the 14th European Film Festival in Lecce, Italy. The international jury was chaired by the Italian Grazia Volpi, producer of all films by Vittorio & Paolo Taviani (Golden Bear Berlin 2012). The jury report: 'The magnificent photography makes the landscape come alive and reflects the changes in the main characters mood in a beautiful way' The laudatory Italian press compared the film to the work of the Dardenne Brothers and the films of Antonioni. Silent Ones was nominated for the Tiger Award earlier this year. This competition is the flagship of the International Film Festival Rotterdam, where the film had its world premiere. The film was very positively received by the trade press. The International Cinephile Society (ICS): 'A powerful, very self-assured debut, Silent Ones confirms that the director is one to watch.' The film was compared by the reviewer to the work of Bruno Dumont. The Dutch press was also very complimentary. De Volkskrant spoke of a wonderful discovery and called the film a confident, disruptive directorial debut. The film tells the story of the young Hungarian woman (Orsi Tóth) who, after her younger brother Isti disappears, sets off aboard a cargo ship to fulfill her promise to him. A surreal trip balancing on the edge of life and death. Silent Ones is Ricky Rijneke's first feature film. Previously, she made her first short, the award-winning festival hit 'WING, the fish that talked back', which was selected for the competition of the prestigious Locarno International Film Festival. Silent Ones was produced by Rotterdam Films (Rijneke & van Leeuwaarden) and was made possible with support from the Netherlands Film Fund and the Mondriaan Fund. Distributor Contact Film will release the film in Dutch cinemas in late 2013. The French sales agent Wide Management has acquired the film and holds the international distribution rights.
