CNN Launches New Movie Show
CNN Pressroom - ‘The Screening Room’ premieres Friday, March 30 at 1:30p ET
Hosted by British television presenter Myleene Klass, ‘The Screening Room’ features a mix of revealing insights, intelligent interviews and on-location reporting from film festivals and red-carpet events. From independent and world cinema to blockbusters and documentaries, each month ‘The Screening Room’ offers movie news, reviews and global charts.
Each show explores the art of the world's most talented actors, directors, composers and screenwriters. From L.A. to London, Tokyo to Tribeca, Sydney to Sundance, the show will go to the essential film festivals. Also, ‘The Screening Room’ covers in-depth features ranging from animation, documentaries and short films to issues such as the perils of piracy.
“This is an important addition to our suite of feature shows, which offers a compelling mix of programming. Every month ‘The Screening Room’ will go to Hollywood and beyond to bring the most compelling and dynamic aspects of the film world to CNN’s vast international audience,” said Rena Golden, senior vice president of CNN International. “With our global reach, CNN is ideally placed to travel the globe and cover stories from the movie business in every continent.”
Show host Myleene Klass said: “I’m overwhelmed to be part of something so groundbreaking for CNN - the network’s first movie show. CNN has kudos and gravitas all over world, and that strong brand will ensure that I will get the very best interviews. One thing is for sure, if I wasn’t part of ‘The Screening Room’, I’d be glued to my seat watching it!”
‘The Screening Room’ is supported by a micro site that launches March 30, www.cnn.com/thescreeningroom, where users can download episodes of the show, read Myleene’s monthly blog as well as movie reviews and news.
‘The Screening Room’ can be seen on CNN International at the following times (all times ET):
