Taylor Swift gives fans a sneak peek of rerecorded hit “Love Story” in new ad

Taylor Swift fans just received an early Christmas present: a “snippet” of her rerecorded hit “Love Story” featured in a hilarious new ad for dating site Match. The superstar said last month that she is busy rerecording the masters of her earlier songs after her catalog was sold in an effort to regain control over her older albums amid a public battle with music manager Scooter Braun.

The commercial was created by “Deadpool” actor Ryan Reynolds‘ ad agency, Maximum Effort. He and wife, actress Blake Lively, are longtime friends of Swift. Reynolds is also on the board of directors of Match’s parent company, Match Group. 

“Okay so while my new re-records are NOT done, my friend @VancityReynolds asked me if he could use a snippet of one for a LOLsome commercial he wrote so…here’s a sneak peak [sic] of Love Story!” she tweeted Wednesday morning, including Reynolds’ video

DR Sales Scores Sales on Hit Danish Drama ‘Cry Wolf’

DR Sales, the distribution division of Denmark’s public broadcaster DR, has closed a raft of deals on “Cry Wolf,” a searing social drama created by Maja Jul Larsen (“Borgen”) and co-directed by Pernille Fischer Christensen (“Becoming Astrid”).

The eight-episode limited series tells the intense and emotional story of a teenage girl who has written a vivid school essay detailing her stepfather’s physical assaults. The parents deny the accusations and take their own daughter to court, creating some ambiguity as to whether this abuse occurred as described. The show is set against the backdrop of Denmark’s rigid child protection process.

Since premiering on Oct. 11 on DR’s primetime slot, “Cry Wolf” has drawn a consistent average of over a million viewers.

DR Sales, which is taking part in the virtual Content London market, has sold the show to France (Salto), Telefonica (Spain), SBS (Australia), Belgium (BETV), Telepool (Germany), M7 (Czech Republic

Emily Hoe on How the Singapore Film Festival Planned its Way Through a Virus Hit Year

Emily J. Hoe took over as executive director of the Singapore International Film Festival just as the world was waking up to the coronavirus as a full-on pandemic. A calm head helped prevail and deliver a slimmed down, but still familiar, event that is presented in physical form and partially online.

Variety: You have a background in arts management. What did you bring to the festival.

Emily Hoe: I’ve worked in the arts in Singapore since 2007. I actually started as a marketing manager for a small, independent multidisciplinary organization called The Substation. And at that time we had a really strong film program. Then I went to the Esplanade, with the National Performing Arts.

I came to the Singapore International Film Festival and started the day before the circuit breaker (Singapore’s stay-at-home reaction to the coronavirus) began.

I’ve had three careers. My first was actually in retail management,

London based pop singer/songwriter Tiggi Hawke is set to release her new single “High Season” today, following the exclusive premiere of the single yesterday with EDM.com.

Australian Screen Production Takes 18% Hit From COVID

Expenditure on screen production in Australia plunged by 18% in the financial year to June 2020, reflecting a near total shutdown of large-scale drama filming from March, due to the impact of the coronavirus and work from home regulations. But, until the virus struck in the fourth (April to June) quarter much of the industry had been on course for a record year.

“If you think that we lost more than a quarter of our year, three and a half months, but ended down only 18%, that’s a good result. It is only half the downturn you might have thought,” Screen Australia CEO, Graeme Mason told Variety.

The July 2019-June 20202 period saw total production spending of A$990 million ($693 million) coming from production of local and foreign feature, television and online drama titles, as well as post, digital and visual effects, according to Screen Australia’s annual Drama Report. The

Weekly jobless claims higher than expected, labor market takes hit from rising Covid cases

The pace of first-time filings for jobless claims picked up last week, with the jobs market showing increasing vulnerability to the coronavirus spread.

Claims totaled 778,000 for the week ended Nov. 21, ahead of the 733,000 expectation from economists surveyed by Dow Jones and up from 742,000 the previous week, the Labor Department reported Wednesday.

Continuing claims for those collecting benefits for at least two weeks maintained their decline, falling to 6.07 million, a drop of 299,000.

The news comes amid an ongoing rise in coronavirus cases and worries that the national health system is becoming stressed. New daily cases have averaged 174,225 over the past week, and health officials worry that Thanksgiving could send that level higher as families across the country travel to celebrate the holiday.

Though weekly claims have been below 800,000 for the past six weeks, they are still well above the pre-pandemic record as governments

Nordstrom Shares Hit Six-Month High After Surprise Q3 Profit

Nordstrom Inc.  (JWN) – Get Report shares jumped to a six-month high Wednesday after it posted a surprise third quarter profit thanks to surge in online sales that partly offset an overall revenue slump for the brick-and-mortar retailer.

Nordstrom said profits for the three months ending in October were pegged at 34 cents per share, down 55.5% from the same period last year but well ahead of the Street consensus, which forecast a loss of 6 cents per share. Group revenues were down 16% to $3 billion, Nordstrom said, but more than half of that came from the group’s online channels, which rose 37% from last year. 

Looking into the holiday quarter, Nordstrom said sales are likely to be down in the low 20 percent range from last year’s levels as the coronavirus pandemic continues to alter retail habits, and sees “a highly promotional and competitive environment in
