New U.K. production company Three Little Birds Pictures has been launched by actor-director Philip Barantini, financial controller Samantha Warham and talent representative Sara Sehdev.
The London and Liverpool-based company’s first co-production, Barantini-helmed “Boiling Point,” stars British talent including “The Irishman” and “Save Me’s” Stephen Graham, “Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge’s” Hannah Walters, “The A Word’s” Vinette Robinson, “Pennyworth” and “Jamestown’s” Jason Flemyng, “Gangs of London’s” Ray Panthaki, and “Curfew’s” Malachi Kirby.
The feature, about a talented head chef wrangling his team on the busiest day of the year, was one of the last productions to finish shooting in the U.K. prior to the coronavirus lockdown. It is based on the Bifa-nominated short of the same name, and is produced with Ascendant Films, Burton Fox Films and Graham/Walters’ company Matriarch.

[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers from “Killing Eve” Season 2, Episode 5, “Smell Ya Later.”]
At long last, “Killing Eve” gives fans the face-off they’ve been waiting for when MI6 agent Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) and assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer) share an intimate moment filled with champagne, meaningful glances, and of course, death threats. The scene in Sunday’s episode echoes last season’s memorable encounter in the Polastri kitchen, but the dynamic has shifted to reflect the hurt and tension between them.
This time, Eve is expecting the killer, whom she last saw writhing in pain after she stabbed her in the Season 1 finale. Meanwhile, Villanelle has arrived to assassinate Eve, not realizing that this Mi6-ordered hit is an elaborate ruse to have her extract information from another killer known as The Ghost (Jung Sun Den Hollander). It’s a bonkers scheme that’s so risky that Villanelle calls it stupid. Eve could have ended up dead or seriously injured.

[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers from “Killing Eve” Season 2, Episode 4, “Desperate Times.”]
Boredom may be the theme of Sunday’s “Killing Eve,” but the episode is anything but boring. Following last week’s frustrating installment, the show returns to form as it takes a few unexpected turns peeling back more layers of the onion-like psyches of MI6 agent Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) and assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer). The show’s flirtation with darkness and yearning has always been its bloody, beating heart, and even though the killer and Eve may still be miles apart, the episode executes a surprise unmasking that will have an affect on both women.
Villanelle in particular is feeling the boredom in Amsterdam, the location of her first freelance assassination arranged by her former handler/now partner Konstantin (Kim Bodnia). Classical art is boring. Scorned wives putting hits on their philandering husbands is boring. Even dressing up as a sexy anthropomorphic Dutch...
