Videoland will have its Australian premiere at the Queer Screen Film Festival this Friday (August 30) before streaming on Netflix in Australia and NZ from Sunday, September 1. It was filmed in an actual video rental store in Moe in Victoria’s La Trobe Valley.
Midnight Sun, Stephenie Meyer’s 2020 companion novel to her best-selling book series Twilight , is set to be adapted into a forthcoming animated series, which is currently in development.
Released on August 29, IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack traces the hijacking of a Kathmandu-Delhi flight in 1999. The flight was taken by hijackers to Taliban-ruled Kandahar to demand the release of militants jailed in India.
The controversy revolved around the hijackers’ names in the Hindi-language, six-episode series. The hijackers — who are all Pakistani — are depicted calling each other common Hindu names like Shankar and Bhola. Some of the hijackers were also Muslim.
“For the benefit of audiences unfamiliar with the 1999 hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight 814, the opening disclaimer in India has been updated to include the real and code names of the hijackers. The code names in the series reflect those used during the actual event,” Netflix said in a statement, in response to the controversy.
Netflix added that there are no changes being made to the content of the series.
Netflix is being lashed for its new drama series The Accident, which bears a painful similarity to the Hillcrest Primary School bouncy castle incident in Tasmania in which six children died in December 2021.
As in the real-life tragedy, the controversial new show depicts a bouncy castle becoming airborne, killing multiple children and shattering the tight-knit community where it occurred.
Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff has demanded the global streaming giant to apologise to the community.
Netflix asserts in its official companion site, Tudum, that The Accident, set in Mexico’s Santa Cruz, is fictional and was not based on a true story.
It also cited American Meteorological Society statistics that 28 people have died, and 479 people have been injured in the US between 2000 and 2021 due to wind-related bouncy castle accidents.
