    --

    Silver Lion Films announced that 2HEARTS concluded filming in Vancouver, British Columbia.  The shoot now moves to Honolulu, Hawaii, for its final week of principal photography.
     
    2HEARTS contains parallel tales that forge bonds between people never meant to meet. The movie stars charismatic young Australian, Jacob Elordi (The Kissing Booth). He plays Chris Gregory, a college freshman who falls madly in love with a caring classmate, Tiera Skovbye (Riverdale). In another place and time, Adan Canto (Narcos), a Cuban exile, falls in love with a charmingly beautiful flight attendant, Radha Mitchell (Man on Fire).

    “The film explores two great love stories that come together in a truly unique way,” said director/producer Lance Hool.

    This romantic drama, loosely based on a true story, is a Hool family collaboration with Lance Hool, producer Conrad Hool, casting director Carla Hool, singer-songwriter Brett Hool, and co-producer and first time writing for the big screen, Veronica Hool.  
     
    Silver Lion Films is an independent film production and finance company established in 1987 by producers and brothers Lance and Conrad Hool. Next year will mark the 50th year the Hool brothers have been working in the film industry. Veronica Hool, of the next generation, is Silver Lion’s VP of development. The Hools are also owners of Santa Fe Studios, in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

    DirecTV is calling off its planned acquisition of rival Dish after the offer was rejected by bond holders at that company.

    The deal was reliant on Dish bond holders agreeing to trade in the debt they held for debt in the new company, a swap that would have cost them about $1.6 billion, collectively.

    The retreat by DirecTV this week may end a years-long effort by the company to acquire both Dish and Sling after it announced the bid in September.

    DirecTV was looking to acquire Dish TV and Sling TV from its owner EchoStar in a debt exchange transaction that included a payment of $1, plus the assumption of approximately $9.8 billion in debt. The deal was contingent on several factors, including regulatory approvals and bondholders writing off debt related to Dish.

    "While we believed a combination of DirecTV and Dish would have benefited all stakeholders, we have terminated the transaction because the proposed exchange terms were necessary to protect DirecTV's balance sheet and our operational flexibility," DirecTV CEO Bill Morrow said in a statement.

    The prospect of a DirecTV-Dish combo has long been rumored, and reported talks resurfaced over the years. And the two almost merged more than two decades ago — but the Federal Communications Commission blocked the deal valued at the time at $18.5 billion deal, citing antitrust concerns.

    The pay-for-TV market has shifted significantly since. As more and more consumers tune into online streaming platforms, demand for more traditional satellite entertainment continues to shrink.

    DirecTV says that it will continue to invest in next-generation streaming platforms and offer new packaging options while integrating content from live TV alongside direct-to-consumer... Read More
