“Poldark’s” Aidan Turner will star as a maverick coach guiding an up-and-coming tennis player (Ella Lily Hyland) to stardom in Amazon Prime Video’s new U.K. drama “Fifteen-Love.”
Created by Hania Elkington, “Fifteen-Love” explores the fictional story of Justine Pearce (Hyland), a young sports prodigy, who enjoyed a meteoric rise in the world of Grand Slam Tennis, aided by her coach Glenn Lapthorn (Turner), with whom she shared an intense rapport.
Together they reached the semi-final of the French Open but Justine’s dream was cut brutally short by a devastating injury and the end of her professional career. Five years on, now aged 22, Justine has a new life as a therapist at her old tennis academy Longwood, but when she makes an explosive allegation against her former coach, everyone is forced to reconsider what they thought they knew about Justine and Glenn’s past success.

The world of James Bond is hitting the streaming world a lot sooner than you’d think.
Amazon’s Prime Video has greenlit its first TV show based on the iconic British spy with “007’s Road to a Million,” a Bond-style spin on a race around the world.
The eight-part series will be produced by Britain’s 72 Films and Bond guardians and producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, along with MGM Television.
Sources tell Variety that the project has been in the works at Prime Video for around four years, long before the MGM deal was finalized, and it sits separately to any shows that are yet to come out of the pact. The e-commerce giant closed its $8.5 billion deal for MGM last week, with the James Bond franchise believed to be a powerful driving force behind the acquisition.

In retrospect, the opening of “All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur” tells us everything we need to know about the mentality and calculations that led to the team announcing the hiring and firing of mercurial coach Jose Mourinho, and its part in a proposed European “Super League” that has the entire soccer world in panicked shambles.
The Amazon Prime series, released last fall, opens with narrator Tom Hardy gravely intoning the club’s history, which stretches back over a hundred years. While Tottenham Hotspur had its glory days, the team has more recently become known for providing flashy football that makes for great moments, if not many actual championship wins. But that has nonetheless made the team extremely important in its corner of North London, where it, like many other teams in the United Kingdom’s various leagues, boasts a fiercely devoted fanbase spanning generations.

Amazon Prime Video and Juventus soccer club have announced a new Italian Amazon original behind-the-scenes documentary series, “All or Nothing: Juventus.”
The series will follow the popular Italian soccer club through the current 2020/21 season, and will stream on Amazon Prime Video worldwide later this year. It will take viewers on a behind the scenes journey with the club covering all of the key events, including the arrival of Andrea Pirlo as the club’s new head coach. The cameras will be inside the Allianz Stadium, their training facilities in Turin and, away from the pitch, the series will focus on the unique aspects of the Club Bianconero [“white and black”] and of its identity, which is rooted in Italian culture and history, but looking to the future.
The fortunes of Jfc are keenly followed globally, especially the club’s talismanic player Cristiano Ronaldo.
The series will be produced by Fulwell 73, with executive producers Leo Pearlman and Ben Turner,...

Tech giant Amazon blasted through expectations with revenue at $96.1 billion, up 37% and earnings of $6.3 billion, or $12.37 a shares.
The stock popped initially then eased as investors may have been underwhelmed by fourth quarter predictions.
The results follow two blow-away quarters dominated by Covid-19 that made the company a must-have “stay-at-home” stock as the pandemic pushed online shopping to new heights and buoyed video viewing.
Amazon Prime Video is a relatively small piece of Jeff Bezos’ $1.7 trillion market cap company and isn’t broken out. But there was a shout-out out to the hottest TV property around today, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm which Amazon Studios CEO Jennifer Salke said this week has generated “tens of millions of views.”
Amazon’s earnings release is always and odd a laundry list of factoids of things it’s done during the quarter. Here are a few:
