'Rogue' Creator Promises A Very Dark Show, with Full-on Sex and Violence (Thandie Newton Stars)

Thandie Newton plays a morally tormented cop who follows a body-strewn trail through the Oakland underworld in 'Rogue'
Some info I thought was worth sharing, lifted from a profile of the upcoming Thandie Newton/DirecTV cop drama series titled Rogue, in which Newton will star as an undercover cop, who, in a personal vendetta, comes face to face with a high-profile gangster, after her son is killed in a drive-by shooting.

The series doesn't debut until sometime in 2013 - no exact dates yet, and it's currently being shot in Vancouver, BC, which is doubling for Oakland, CA.

In a profile of the series in Canadian paper, The Province, I learned the following:

- First, Series creator Matthew Parkhill says that he initially conceived the series as a 3-part miniseries about an undercover cop, set in his hometown of London, to be made with the BBC. But that changed quickly, and he would eventually partner instead with DirecTV here in the USA, because they were apparently looking for a marquee show to rival competitors HBO and Showtime. And with that switch of networks, Rogue became a 10-episode serial, from what was original supposed to be a 3-part mini, and the setting changed to the Oakland docks from London’s docks. 

- Series creator Parkhill states that, apparently, he wrote the lead character with Thandie Newton in mind, very early on, and she agreed to play the morally tormented cop Grace Travis, also very early on. 

- And since the series is meant to compete with hit dramas on HBO and Showtime, expect the writing to be riskier; specifically, Parkhill says that the show has a high body count, adding that he was aiming for the grit and intensity of such U.S. shows like The Shield and The Sopranos, calling Rogue a very dark show, with fairly full-on sex, fairly full-on violence. "Those are things you can do in that world of American cable shows that you can’t really do on the BBC," he said. So I guess we can expect lots of nudity, and lots of raw violence.

- And lastly, they (both Parkhill and Newton) are already prepping for a season 2, with the hope that the series will catch on with USA audiences (it'll air in Canada as well). As the profile states, Parkhill has created a story, characters and setting that will be able to continue on, after season 1 ends, and that subsequent seasons could broaden the show’s scope.

Rogue will be satellite television provider DirecTV's first original series.

An official synopsis reads:
ROGUE revolves around Grace (Newton), a morally and emotionally conflicted undercover detective who is tormented by the possibility that her own actions contributed to her son's death. Grace's search for the truth is further complicated by her forbidden relationship with Jimmy (Marton Csokas), the crime boss who may have played a hand in the crime. A smart, complex, character-led thriller, the show explores loss, grief, identity, family bonds, second chances and redemption. Both Grace and Jimmy not only struggle with who they are, they also struggle with who they want to be. Both cross the line - morally, emotionally, sexually - with devastating consequences for their own lives and those around them.

Rogue is executive produced by renowned UK producer/director Nick Hamm for Greenroom EntertainmentJohn Morayniss and Michael Rosenberg for eOne; and Steven Marrs from Momentum Entertainment Group. Series creator Matthew Parkhill also serves as writer and supervising producer.
In addition to Newton and Csokas, the cast includes Ian Hart, Claudia FerriJoshua SasseJonathan HolmesSarah JeffreyIan TraceyJarod Joseph, Matthew Beard, and Martin Donovan.

The pilot episode is being directed by Brian Kirk (LuckGame of ThronesBoardwalk Empire).

So, Thandie gets to carry a gritty, sex- and violence-filled cable TV series; let's see how that works out. Looking forward to that first trailer!


Good graces return Thandie Newton to Vancouver

Good graces return Thandie Newton to Vancouver

Thandie Newton plays a morally tormented cop who follows a body-strewn trail through the Oakland underworld in Rogue.

A realistically weathered Oakland bar has been built this late afternoon in the Downtown Eastside performance space Burrard Ironworks. Inside, a crew, British star Thandie Newton and a group of actors are crafting the final moments of Rogue, a 10-episode saga of organized crime and revenge set in the California city.

“We were down at the docks this morning and it’s bloody freezing,” says writer-creator Matthew Parkhill, a Brit with a resumé of novels, film, TV and poetry. The four months of filming in Vancouver that wrapped in November mark the culmination of a four-year history with his biggest project yet, a story that started, oddly enough, in Vancouver.

Parkhill was living in Kitsilano with his partner, actor Rachel Shelley, while she was here starring in the series The L Word, when he wrote the initial draft of what became Rogue. He conceived of a three-part miniseries about an undercover cop, set in his hometown of London, to be made with the BBC.

Much changed since then — he eventually partnered instead with American broadcaster DirecTV, as they were looking for a marquee show to rival competitors HBO and Showtime. The show also will air this spring on Canada’s Movie Network and Movie Central.

The show’s length changed to 10 episodes from three and the setting changed to the Oakland waterfront from London’s docks.

One element remained constant — Parkhill’s writing was inspired by actor Newton. She agreed early on to play morally tormented cop Grace Travis, who follows a body-strewn trail through the Oakland underworld to find the killer or killers of her young son.

Casting Newton amid this violent milieu is an interesting choice — the actor is a non-violent Buddhist in real life and doesn’t take lightly the idea of playing a gun-wielding U.S. cop.

“When I came out here, we started police training,” she says. “We went to a shooting range and it turns out I’m a really good shot, which I’m sort of disappointed by in a way. … The less I can hold a gun, the better.”

That said, the show has a high body count — this day’s filming includes a barroom wake for a slain character.

Newton says the main character’s deadly moral compromises are set amid the larger world of organized crime that reaches beyond borders.

“Everything that happens is just the poison that seeps up from the ground when corruption is covered up,” Newton says.

“I think that’s what I loved about it. That is something we are dealing with in our world now, on a grotesque scale.

“You look at the banks, you look at human trafficking. Slavery is suddenly an issue we have to deal with all over again.”

Parkhill pointed to Newton’s scenes in Oscar-winning Crash as further reason for casting.

“That one image where she was hanging upside-down in a car … all of that pain, all of that agony, all of that anger, that rage. That was Grace, in one image.”

Like Parkhill, Newton had a history with Vancouver, having filmed sci-fi feature Chronicles of Riddick here in 2003 and, five years later, disaster epic 2012. Faced with a choice between filming in Vancouver and a cheaper shoot in Toronto, Newton and Parkhill pushed for the West Coast.

“My kids have also been here when they were tiny,” says Newton during a filming break, bundled in a heavy overcoat. “They remember it, so it’s part of our family.”

Newton has two preteen daughters with her filmmaker husband Oliver Parker, who joined her here for filming this summer before returning to London when school started.

“The memory of Vancouver is very much in the fabric of their growing up,” Newton says.

“I pushed very hard for Vancouver. … I’m always looking to come back.”

For his part, Parkhill says B.C. better matched the story’s setting.

“I knew it was a West Coast show,” he says. “The show is centred on the docks, doubling Vancouver for Oakland and the Bay area. I felt this is where we want to be, apart from the fact that I love living here.”

Parkhill was aiming for the grit and intensity of such U.S. shows as The Shield and The Sopranos.

“This is a very dark show,” Parkhill says.

“You’ve got fairly full-on sex, fairly full-on violence. Those are things you can do in that world of American cable shows that you can’t really do on the BBC.”

Globe-trotting actor Marton Csokas co-stars as a dockside gangster with uneasy ties to Newton’s undercover cop, and the producers found a deep well of acting talent here that includes Ian Tracey, Leah Gibson, Kavan Smith and newcomer Jarod Joseph in key supporting roles on both sides of the law.

If the show’s first season works, Rogue’s cast and crew will come back for more and, to that end, Parkhill set about crafting a set of characters and a setting that can continue once this season’s story is told.

Both star and creator say that, if the show strikes a chord with audiences, subsequent seasons could broaden the show’s scope.

“The challenge is to create the stories and the characters and the world that your audience will want to be a part of and to follow,” says Parkhill.

“Once you do that, you can take them different directions each season.”


* Thandie Newton a certainty for nude scenes (being the lead and all) but at her age probably filmed in very darkish hues. Rachel Shelley will do her part to support her loving partner and creator of the show.
(Frankly I'm disappointed with British actresses lack of social media awareness. Would it kill them to have a twitter or FB account? The ones who do are lazy inactive posters). 
27-years old Canadian actress Leah Gibson piqued my interest as well. She apparently enjoyed working on the show....


 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


potentially good news in the pipeline in regards to lovely but very demure 25-years old Canadian actress Sarah Gadon. She is starring in An Enemy (2013) directed by Denis Villeneuve (responsible for one of the best Canadian films in recent memory 'Incendies') and written by Javier Gullón based upon José Saramago novel The Double (Portuguese: O Homem Duplicado). 

She and French actress Mélanie Laurent play Jake Gyllenhaal's Tertuliano Máximo Afonso/António Claro respective wife and girlfriend. There is sexual blackmail involved and very good chance of seeing Gadon goodies in her first real nude scene. Pretty sure she is playing Helena. Gyllenhaal's Tertuliano makes love to Helena in a pivotal scene. There is no way they're going to skim over it in the script or during filming. The other important female character is Maria de Paz played by Laurent. 

Book Synopsis:
Tertuliano Máximo Afonso is a history teacher in an unnamed metropolis (presumably Lisbon). Middle-aged, divorced and in a relationship with a woman, Maria da Paz, he is bored with life. On the suggestion of a colleague, one night Máximo watches a video that changes everything. The video itself is a forgettable comedy, but the actor who plays the minor role of hotel clerk (so minor he isn't listed in the credits) is Afonso's physical double. Soon Afonso is feverishly renting videos, trying to find the actor's name, while hiding his project from his suspicious colleague, his lover and his mother. Finally tracking the man down, he suggests a meeting. The actor, a rather sleazy fellow, resents Afonso's presence, as if his identical appearance were a sort of ontological theft. Soon the two are in a competition that involves sex and power.

Movie Synopsis:
“Gyllenhaal plays a history teacher living a quiet life with his girlfriend until he discovers a physically identical man living nearby with his pregnant wife. The teacher stalks his double until the couples’ lives become intertwined with lethal consequences.”

A snippet about the movie and Sarah:
Gadon, who plays the wife of Gyllenhaal’s character in An Enemy, says her film is being billed as Villeneuve’s English-language debut.
She jokes that she had a hard time following his French accent on set — “I had no idea what he was saying to me!” — but also heaps praise on Villeneuve for inspiring the cast.
“He really is an incredible director and he really taught me and reminded me how important it is to love the people that you’re working with when you’re making a movie,” says Gadon, who also appears in Amma Asante’s upcoming Belle, with Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Matthew Goode, Emily Watson and Miranda Richardson.
“He just brought a real passion to our set and that was really incredible.”
Gadon says much of the performances involved improvisations, leaving her uncertain as to how it will all come together.
“Every scene we kind of improv’d so I really have no idea tonally what the film is going to be like,” she admits.

5 ways to turn women off oral sex

Posted by: Urban Cowgirl

What guy doesn’t like getting his knob polished on a regular basis? Don’t men dream of receiving head from a skilled practitioner on a daily basis? Or at all for that matter?

If your partner isn’t putting out in the oral department, you may want to consider some possible causes.
Oral sex is such a paramount part of the male sexual experience (AM I RIGHT FELLAS?). Wouldn’t it be a shame to miss out on this simple pleasure because of a slight error in judgement?

Perhaps you haven’t had the luxury of being with a woman who will steer you in the right direction.
Sadly, not all of us are that patient. Which is why I felt it was only charitable of me to compile a short list of no-nos to ensure you’re not turning your female partners off oral sex:

Keep your member meticulously neat and tidy
The worst thing for a woman to deal with when it comes to oral sex is having to work under less than desirable conditions. No lady wants to linger in your nether regions while battling the stench of ball sweat.
Hygiene is key. If you don’t have time for a shower, make sure you have a supply of wet naps in your powder room to freshen up in a pinch.
Also, don’t forget to manscape (trimming the hair in your pubic region). I’m not suggesting that you shave – although this may be your partner’s preference – but make sure you keep your cockpit under control.
Nothing throws a girl off her game more than trying to fish out a stray pube from the back of her throat.

Don’t be pushy; let her come to you
I’m willing to wager that there isn’t a girl out there who hasn’t experienced this fellatial faux pas.
If your partner has indicated that she’s up for fellatio, don’t endeavour to speed things up by pushing her head to your crotch or manoeuvring your manhood closer to her face. This feels forced.
Women enjoy the sense of control oral sex gives them while performing on their partner. Sit back, relax, and let her make her move.

Refrain from face fucking
She’s successfully sucking your penis and all is well in the land of swallow or spit. Well done you!
So don’t ruin the mood by ramming your penis into her face. If she places her hands on your bottom and motions for you to start moving in a pseudo-fucking rhythm, then by all means give her what she’s asking for. Otherwise, save your pelvic thrusts for plausible penetration.

Ditch the dirty dialogue
Nothing is more distracting than hearing your partner utter some dialogue from Debbie Does Dallas. It’s also degrading for most women.
Instead of telling your partner to “suck it for daddy” try something more authentic like simply telling her how good it feels.

Show your gratitude
It can get lonely down there for us girls if our subject throws his head back and forgets who’s actually servicing him.
Acknowledge your partner for their performance. Make eye contact and gently stroke her hair. Try to demonstrate your appreciation before you climax.

Japanese College Student : “Sucking One Nerd Nets You More Cash than Being a Sex Worker”"

Dec 28, 2012 by
cucumber cash
Now there’s a quote you don’t read every day…

After reading a love and romance article over on our Japanese site, one regular reader and Japanese college student got in touch to voice her opinion. We receive lots or emails from our readers and are always glad to hear what they have to say, but when someone gets in touch and makes the shockingly frank statement “Rather than working in the sex industry and sucking hundreds of guys, it’s way more profitable to suck one nerd,” it certainly stops us in our tracks…


As regular readers will know, Japan’s sex industry has never been healthier. Every sexual desire under the sun (or cloud-covered moon, perhaps…) can be catered for in the country’s red light districts, and vast sums of money changes hands each night. The average sex worker in Japan is believed to make 30 – 50,000 yen (US$350 – 580) per day, but as well as having to engage with multiple, possibly stinky and massively ungentlemanly, male clients each night, it takes its toll on women both physically and mentally. Getting together with a well-off nerd, however, is far less demanding…

According to female RocketNews24 reader Yui (psuedonymn), an easy, lucrative life is just a matter of sleeping with one nerdy guy:
“Nerds don’t have any experience in love and romance, so if I have sex with them just once they’re mine from then on. All the money they’d been using on their hobby up until then comes my way instead.”
We’re torn between being disgusted and applauding her for her honesty.
But not just any nerd will do! According to Yui, game otaku (videogame nerds to you and me) often have low incomes and so are best left alone, but densha otaku (train nerds) and figure collectors are the most financially well-off and often become Yui’s prey when she’s hunting for a new man to take care of her.

For those of you out there who are able to lock your conscience in a padded room for a while and are looking for a man to splash the cash on you, Yui has some tips for the hunt:
- First, find a nerd who invests vast sums of money in his hobby.
- Train, model, figure and camera nerds are the ones with plenty of cash to burn.
- Videogame and animé nerds usually don’t have any money.
- As much as they love their hobby, sexual desires will come first. Take him to bed once and he’ll favour sex every time.
- With this in mind, any man who spends lots of money on sexy figures is a sure-fire goldmine.
But, isn’t she just laughing at these gullible nerds behind their backs? How can we have anything but contempt for this girl? Our reporter challenged Yui with the question on everyone’s lips: How do you sleep at night?

“I’m not making fools of these guys. The guys I date want to be in the company of women, they’re happy and they feel good when they’re with me. In return, they spend a lot of money on me. It’s a win-win situation. If I don’t like their company, I won’t date them, so it’s not just about the money.”
But with four guys all spending their money on her at this very moment and no doubt hoping that Yui’s all theirs, we can’t help but wonder just how pleased they’d be to know that they’re not the only ones neglecting their once-loved hobby.
