Shōgun
Born in the pages of a novel by James Clavell in 1975, the screenplay of Shōgun has its roots in the history of feudal Japan, around 1600, on the eve of a major civil war. The main character is clearly inspired by the daimyō Ieyasu Tokugawa while the events are described from the perspective of an English ship commander named John Blackthorne. The key elements of the literary saga should be repeated more or less faithfully in the original series Shōgun which is expected on February 27 on Disney+. The adaptation of this bestseller will be done through 10 episodes reserved for profiles over 16 years old. The streaming platform promises “an epic saga of passion, war and power struggle in the heart of feudal Japan”.

Spectacular turn of events
Intended for spectators keen on police investigations, Spectacular turn of events is a film that oscillates between suspense, glamor and comedy. The events take place in London, in the West End of the 1950s, when a strange murder is committed. The victim is a director who came from Hollywood to sign the film adaptation of a successful play. But the man is murdered and filming is interrupted. The two people in charge of the investigation seem diametrically opposed: while Agent Stalker stands out for his zeal and feminine obstinacy, Inspector Stoppard seems to be one of those who is no longer moved by anything. But the discoveries they will uncover could well place them themselves in a perilous situation.
