Good Morning from your friends at The Movie Institute (movieinstitute.org)! Some industry buzz: Netflix is reportedly about to save another cancelled TV series, Longmire, according to Deadline. The streaming service is negotiating with Warner Horizon for a fourth season of the crime drama, which originally aired on A+E for three seasons until being cancelled earlier this year. The series garnered 5.5 million viewers on average, who tuned into the second and third season. Netflix also revamped Arrested Development and AMC’s The Killing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digital talent management company Big Frame announced the addition of 11 creators to its stable of YouTube talent. They are: StyleHaul beauty and fashion gurus That’s Heart, Arden Ricks (aka Arden Rose) and Aspyn Ovard along with comedy and lifestyle creator Lauren Luthringshausen (aka Lauren Elizabeth), Ava Gordy and Kevin Droniak (aka This Kid Needs Medicine); SDK sketch group members Josh Sobo, Jonah Green and Ryan Abe; artist Mary Doodles and Maker Studios gamer Lisa Malambri. “These key signings deepen our roster of female lifestyle creators and also establish a cornerstone for comedy talent at Big Frame,” Co-President Larry Shapiro said. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A new online video and entertainment focused industry body called the Streaming Video Alliance, formed on Friday to “facilitate the creation of architecture, standards, and best practices that will scale the infrastructure for online video and improve efficiency for all providers” and provide consumers with quality programming. Launch members include: Charter Communications, Cisco, Comcast, Epix, Fox Networks Group, Level 3 Communications, Liberty Global, MLB Advanced Media, Telstra, Ustream, Yahoo and others. However, Netflix and YouTube platforms that account for half of all web traffic in North America (Sandvine) have not yet joined the board.
