NOMADLAND

Available On Demand on FOXTEL from Friday, April 30

One of the most talked-about and critically acclaimed films of 2021, NOMADLAND , starring Oscar-winner Frances McDormand , will be available On Demand on FOXTEL from Friday, April 30.

Nominated for six Oscars including Best Picture and Best Actress for McDormand at the upcoming 2021 Academy Awards on April 26, NOMADLAND staked its claim as official front runner for this year’s Academy Awards after a host of nominations and wins for the film during this year’s awards season, including Golden Globe wins for Best Drama Motion Picture and Best Director of a Motion Picture. The film also won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival.

NOMADLAND follows the journey of Fern (McDormand), who, after the death of her husband and the economic collapse of her hometown in Nevada, packs her van and sets off on the road, exploring a life outside of conventional society as a modern-day nomad.

A sweeping, exquisite portrait of the American nomadic spirit set on the trail of seasonal migratory labour, the film features real-life nomads Linda May, Swankie and Bob Wells as Fern’s mentors and comrades in her exploration through the vast landscape of the American West.

NOMADLAND is a portrait of a woman who has lost a husband and her whole former life, but in that process, gains strength and a new life. Fern finds her community in the nomad gatherings she attends, a closer companionship with Dave (David Strathairn), along with others she meets on her journey. But most importantly, as she evolves, in the wilderness, in rocks, trees, stars, a hurricane – this is where she finds her independence.

NOMADLAND is directed by Chloé Zhao (Songs My Brothers Taught Me; The Rider) and is based on the non-fiction book NOMADLAND: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century by Jessica Bruder. The film stars McDormand (Fargo; Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck; Lincoln), Linda May and Swankie.

The producers are Mollye Asher, Dan Janvey, Frances McDormand and Peter Spears. The director of photography is Joshua James Richards.

NOMADLAND is presented by Searchlight Pictures and is available on FOXTEL On Demand from Friday, April 30. The film will also premiere on FOXTEL MOVIES PREMIERE channel on Saturday, May 1 at 8.30pm AEST.

ALL FIVE EPISODES AVAILABLE TO WATCH FROM NOVEMBER 2

ON DEMAND ON FOXTEL

BAFTA award-winner Jack O’Connell leads an all-star cast including Colin Farrell and Stephen Graham in THE NORTH WATER, an epic adaptation of the acclaimed novel about a whaling expedition that becomes a struggle for survival.

Written and directed by renowned filmmaker Andrew Haigh ( Lean on Pete , 45 Years’ ) and produced by See-Saw Films ( Top of the Lake , The End ), the entire five-part series will be available to watch On Demand on FOXTEL from Tuesday November 2.

Based on Ian McGuire’s best-selling novel of the same name, THE NORTH WATER tells the story of Patrick Sumner (O’Connell), a disgraced ex-army surgeon who signs up as ship’s doctor on a whaling expedition to the Arctic. On board he meets Henry Drax (Farrell), the harpooner, a brutish killer whose amorality has been shaped to fit the harshness of his world. Hoping to escape the horrors of his past, Sumner finds himself on an ill-fated journey with a murderous psychopath. In search of redemption, his story becomes a harsh struggle for survival in the Arctic wasteland.

THE NORTH WATER also stars Stephen Graham ( Line of Duty , The Irishman ) as ‘Captain Brownlee’, Tom Courtenay ( 45 Years , The Aeronauts ) as ‘Baxter’ and Peter Mullan ( Mum , Top Of The Lake ) as the Priest.

Set in Hull, England, and on the ice floes of the Arctic in the late 1850s, the cinematic drama was filmed primarily in the Arctic, shooting on the frozen seas north of the Svalbard Archipelago. The cast and production team sailed as far as 81 degrees north to film sequences in the pack ice, the furthest point north it is believed a drama series has ever filmed before.

Commissioned by the BBC, THE NORTH WATER (5x60’) is made by See-Saw Films for the BBC and AMC+. The series is adapted and directed by Andrew Haigh. Executive producers are Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, Iain Canning and Emile Sherman for See-Saw Films, Niv Fichman for Rhombus Media, and Jo McClellan for the BBC. The series was produced by Kate Ogborn. The North Water is a co-production with Rhombus Media and is distributed internationally by BBC Studios.

Save the date for Father of the Bride

starring Gloria Estefan and Andy Garcia

Available to watch exclusively On Demand on FOXTEL from June 16

On Thursday, June 16 at 5.00pm AEST, you are cordially invited to witness the love, the food, the music and the fun of FATHER OF THE BRIDE , a modern rom-com starring Gloria Estefan and Andy Garcia premiering On Demand on FOXTEL.

Updated from the timeless classic of the same name and produced by Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment, this sparkling story of a family and its unbreakable bonds illustrates the surprising and funny ways the heart can adapt in the name of love. The film also stars Adria Arjona , Isabela Merced , Diego Boneta and Chloe Fineman .

Long-time married couple Billy (Andy Garcia) and Ingrid (Gloria Estefan) are surprised when their eldest daughter Sofia (Adria Arjona) comes home to Miami for a visit. But the surprises just keep coming when she announces a new boyfriend, Adan (Diego Boneta) - who is now her fiancé - and their plans for a quick-turnaround wedding and a new life together in Mexico, where Adan’s family is from.

Old-fashioned Billy is at first opposed to the wedding. A prominent architect and family man, he feels his hard-fought success and dedication to his heritage earn him the right to call the shots. The same could also be said for Adan’s equally headstrong father, Hernan (Pedro Damián), who soon arrives with his own traditions and family pride in tow. With both iron-willed fathers vying to take charge of the festivities, it becomes a prideful game of one-upmanship, as cultures clash, generations take sides and competing traditions collide, as the roller coaster ride of wedding planning races toward the altar.

FATHER OF THE BRIDE is a Warner Bros. Pictures and HBO Max film, directed by Gaz Alazraki and produced by Oscar winners Plan B Entertainment (Moonlight; 12 Years a Slave; Eat Pray Love). The screenplay is by Matt Lopez, based on the novel by Edward Streeter. The executive producers are Brad Pitt, Andy Garcia, Ted Gidlow and Jesse Ehrman.

FATHER OF THE BRIDE premieres on Thursday, June 16 from 5.00pm AEST On Demand on FOXTEL and on Movies Premiere channel on Monday, June 20 at 8.30pm AEST

NIKKI GLASER: GOOD CLEAN FILTH

Nikki Glaser’s Stand-Up Comedy Special

Premieres On Demand on FOXTEL from July 20

Comedian and actress Nikki Glaser (host and executive producer of hit series FBOY ISLAND) showcases her shockingly honest style of comedy in her first hour-long HBO comedy special NIKKI GLASER: GOOD CLEAN FILTH, premiering Wednesday, July 20 at 5.00pm AEST On Demand on FOXTEL.

Taped late last year at the Paramount Theatre in Denver, Colorado in front of a sold-out audience, Nikki Glaser takes on a range of topics in her brutally-honest yet conversational style. Whether she’s dishing about sex, outlining the do’s and dont’s of dating (and how to trick someone into marriage), or oversharing about her (not-so-private) parts, Glaser delivers an hour of unapologetic and no-holds-barred comedy… not for mere shock value, but to be open about topics often considered “taboo.” Her ability to joke about her most humiliating moments as a woman in the modern world is not just for the laughs, she’s also adamant about being the empowering voice for women that she yearned for as a confused adolescent.

Nikki Glaser has multiple stand-up specials and late-night TV appearances including Bangin’, Comedy Central Roasts, guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and hosting the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards: Unscripted. Nikki hosted, co-created and executive produced the critically-acclaimed comedic show*, Not Safe with Nikki Glaser,* and Nikki & Sara Live. She is the host of three hit podcasts, including her daily show, The Nikki Glaser Podcast, and this past May, debuted her new reality show Welcome Home Nikki Glaser which is available to watch now On Demand on FOXTEL.

NIKKI GLASER: GOOD CLEAN FILTH is written by Nikki Glaser; directed by Linda Mendoza; executive produced by Nikki Glaser, Alex Murray, and John Irwin; co-executive produced by Casey Spira.

NIKKI GLASER: GOOD CLEAN FILTH premieres on Wednesday, July 20 from 5.00pm AEST On Demand on FOXTEL and on FOX8 Saturday, July 23 at 10.00pm AEST

BRAND NEW PERIOD DRAMA

MARIE ANTOINETTE

Premieres November 22 on FOXTEL

Created and written by Deborah Davis (The Favourite), MARIE ANTOINETTE is a brand new period drama which tells the story of the incredibly modern and avant-garde young queen, played by Emilia Schüle (Ku’damm 56/ 63). The eight-episode series will be available to watch Tuesday, November 22 from 4.00pm on FOXTEL.

Marie Antoinette was barely fourteen years old when she left Austria to marry the Dauphin of France, where she grew up navigating the rules of the overbearing French court and the pressure to continue the Bourbon line with a male heir. Transforming from the young Dauphine to the Queen of Style and a true fashion icon, Marie Antoinette will eventually understand the rules and secrets of the Court and will attempt to recreate Versailles in her image: free, independent, and feminist. But her successes will provoke jealousy and rivalry.

Through a twenty-first century lens, the series will explore the dark, manipulative, and misogynistic world of Versailles. As defamatory pamphlets and persistent rumours about Mare Antoinette’s private life undermine her status, her opponents within the Royal Family will do everything they can to bring her down…

In addition to Emilia Schüle, the ensemble cast includes Louis Cunningham (Bridgerton ) as Louis XVI, James Purefoy (Rome, Hap and Leonard, Altered Carbon) as Louis XV, Jack Archer (The Bay, Call The Midwife) as Count Of Provence, Jasmine Blackborow (Shadow and Bone) as Princess of Lamballe, and Gaia Weiss (Vikings) as Madame Du Barry. The series also stars Crystal Shepherd-Cross, Caroline Piette, Oscar Lesage, Roxane Duran, Liah O’prey, Jonas Bloquet, Marthe Keller, Nathan Willcocks, Laura Benson, Yoli Fuller and Martijn Lakemeier.

MARIE ANTOINETTE is directed by Pete Travis (Bloodlands) and Geoffrey Enthoven (Children of Love). A Canal+ Creation Originale Produced By Capa Drama, Banijay Studios France and Les Gens with the support of The Centre National De La Cinématographie and Paris Region with the participation of Ciné+, Canal+Poland, The Bruxelles-Capital Region and Wallimage (Wallonia).
