Polish film and TV writer/director Agnieszka Smoczyńska's biographical film "The Silent Twins" is heading to Peacock. The movie is inspired by the book of the same name written by investigative journalist Marjorie Wallace. Published in 1986 under the title "The Silent Twins: A true story of love and hate, dreams and desolation, genius and destruction," Wallace's book is itself based on the true story of June and Jennifer Gibbons, twin sisters who only communicated with each other, and came to be known as "the silent twins."

Smoczyńska's film is heading to Peacock after getting a very limited theatrical release from Focus Features on September 16, 2022 -- meaning, this is probably the first time most people have even heard of the movie. So, before it joins acclaimed 2022 films like Scott Derrickson's "The Black Phone" on NBCUniversal's streaming service, here's everything you need to know about the film ahead of time.

The Midem conference, held in Cannes, France on June 5 through 8, gathered several thousand international music professionals for four days of panel discussions on many of the issues facing the industry today. Delegations from as far away as Africa and China attended with an eye (and ear) to reach key decision makers from record labels, publishing companies and live music executives. Artists showcased as well, with nightly concerts dedicated to music from Taiwan, China and the African continent. Between the croissants, these were some of the hot topics Midem attendees were talking about.

A Publishing Bubble?

With the recent acquisition of Emi Music Publishing by Sony/Atv, and Wall Street looking at publishing assets as a growth area ripe for investment, is the current climate actually a bubble? BMG CEO Hartwig Masuch cautions, “You can see some signs of it. I would be very careful right now.” According to recent financial projections,...

Jim Caviezel has arguably taken on Kiefer Sutherland's standing as TV's hardest action hero since Person of Interest debuted in 2011.

The CBS thriller has become one of Us television's most popular series, and also has a loyal audience in the UK.

With John Reese, Harold Finch (Michael Emerson) and co returning to Channel 5 in the UK on March 28, Digital Spy chatted to its main star about the future of the series, working with Sylvester Stallone and video game comparisons.

Person of Interest remains very popular after almost three seasons, and keeps finding ways to reinvent itself and introduce new villains. How long do you think the series can carry on for?

"I could not speak to how long we might keep going, but I am grateful for every episode we are able to make. This is...

With Almost Human arriving soon, Rob compares the merits of ten Jj Abrams-produced TV shows, from Lost, to Alias, Revolution, and more...

Warning: contains spoilers for Revolution, and Lost.

Most would agree, Jj Abrams has had a successful career which has gone from strength to strength. Undoubtedly, Star Wars now offers an opportunity for him to reach a creative zenith, but represents also his largest risk. His stylistic choices may not be to everyone’s tastes and he himself admits that there are elements over which he has an obsession (lens flares & secrecy) but these are still a matter of personal taste (I’m ambivalent over the former, and truly appreciate the latter). All that aside, outside his burgeoning film directing career, as an executive producer Abrams has been responsible for an incredible amount of television in a very small space of time.

Proving that Comic-Con and the people behind the production of CBS‘s Person of Interest – specifically, Warner Bros. Television, Bad Robot Productions and Jonathan Nolan – can have a lovely snarky topical sense of humor (and really, it just fits that they would, doesn’t it?), check out the designs for this year’s Comic-Con souvenir hotel keycards. Particularly the second one.

Whether you support, despise, or are ambivalent about the recently revealed Nsa program, you’ve gotta love it, and the accompanying press release:

It is that time of year again where we take a day to celebrate all that we are thankful for in our lives – our health, our family, our friends, our jobs, and everything that brings a bit of happiness into our lives. For those of us who enjoy television, this is a quick look at a few of the TV shows that have brightened our days and nights in 2012:

Doctor Who

A favorite since childhood, it seems like each year this show makes me believe in the impossible. For surely time-travel does exist and there is a wonderful man called The Doctor inviting the lucky few to travel with him in his extraordinary blue box. Doctor Who is one of those television series that makes you feel richer for watching it. It is clever, whimsical, funny, terrifying and heart-warming all wrapped together. It surpasses itself with each passing season,...
