'FRONTIER' EPIC TV SERIES
LEAD BY JASON MOMOA
If seeing Jason Momoa as the future Aquaman ain't enough for you, here's a happy piece of news: he will lead epic TV mini series FRONTIER from Discovery Canada which has been picked up by Netflix as well! The six episode epic adventure series follows the chaotic struggle to control wealth and power in the North American fur trade in the late 18th century. Also starring are Alun Armstrong,
Landon Liboiron, Zoe Boyle, Allan Hawco and Jessica Matten.
Told from multiple perspectives, the series takes place in a world
where business negotiations might be resolved with close quarter hatchet
fights, and where delicate relations between native tribes and
Europeans can spark bloody conflicts!

'TURKEY HOLLOW' TV
MOVIE FROM JIM HENSON!
Check out how cute this is - a trailer and a poster for Jim Henson's TURKEY HOLLOW TV movie which hits Lifetime November 21st ahead of Thanksgiving! The movie follows the Emmerson family as they
head to the quaint town of Turkey Hollow to spend a rustic Thanksgiving where they soon find themselves swept up in tracking the “Howling Hoodoo,” an elusive monster that, up until now, Turkey Hollow residents have long dismissed as mere legend.

The historical Canadian fur trade is long overdue for a mini-series treatment. I hope "Frontier" delivers a quality product!
