Nickelodeon USA To Premiere The Brand New Original TV Movie "Nicky Deuce" On Monday 27th May 2013 As Part Of Nick At Nite

The news website The Huffington Post is reporting that Nickelodeon has announced the exciting Nickelodeon News that Nick USA will premiere and show Nickelodeon, R&R Productions and MarVista Entertainment's brand new original kids TV movie "Nicky Deuce", which stars Nickelodeon Star Noah Munck ("iCarly", "Gibby"), on Monday 27th May 2013 at 8pm (ET) as part of Nickelodeon USA's nighttime programming block, Nick at Nite (stylized as nick@nite)! As part of their article, the Huff Post also unveiled a exclusive online streaming video featuring Nick's trailer promoting their all-new television movie, which you can watch below!

"Nicky Deuce", based on a popular children's book by The Sopranos' Steve Schirripa and Charles Fleming, stars iCarly's Noah Munck as Nicholas Borelli II, a nerdy, over-protected teen who transforms into the title character. Nicholas gets caught in the adventure of a lifetime when his plans to attend math camp go awry and he is sent to spend the summer with an uncle (played by Schirripa) he never knew he had in Brooklyn, New York. A fish out of water at first, Nicholas leans on local kids to help him fit in and winds up mistakenly earning a reputation as a tough guy. When confronted with some questionable dealings, Nicky uncovers family secrets and learns that the mean streets of Brooklyn aren't always what they seem. In addition to Noah Munck, Cristine Prosperi and Steve Schirripa, "Nicky Deuce" will also star actors Michael Imperioli, Vincent Curatola and Tony Sirico from the popular American television drama "The Sopranos", actor Cassius Crieghtney ("Degrassi: The Next Generation"), and actress Rita Moreno ("Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?"). You can also watch Nick's first "Nicky Deuce" teaser trailer and a behind-the-scenes video featuring Cristine Prosperi ("Degrassi") taking part in a photo shoot as her character in the movie, "Donna", along with her co-star Noah Munck ("Nicky") here on NickALive!:

'Nicky Deuce': 'Sopranos' Reunion In Nickelodeon TV Movie (EXCLUSIVE VIDEO)

It's a "Sopranos" reunion, courtesy of ... Nickelodeon?

You read right. Cast members from the late HBO mob series will reunite in the Nickelodeon TV movie "Nicky Deuce," which stars "iCarly's" Noah Munck and "The Sopranos" star Steve Schirripa.

The movie, which is based on the children's book written by Schirripa and Charles Fleming, centers on Nicholas Borelli II, a.k.a. Nicky Deuce (Munck), a nerdy teen who finds himself in Brooklyn with a mobster uncle (Schirripa) he never knew he had after his plans to attend math camp go awry.

Schirripa (a.k.a. Bobby Bacala) tapped many of his former "Sopranos" co-stars to make appearances in the kids mob movie, which is sure to have fewer f-bombs and trips to the Bada Bing than "The Sopranos" did. Look for James Gandolfini, Michael Imperioli, Vincent Curatola and Tony Sirico in The Huffington Post's exclusive "Nicky Deuce" trailer above.

“I'm excited for fans to see 'Nicky Deuce' come to life from a book I wrote over seven years ago,” Schirripa said in a statement. "Especially, because I was able to share it with my friends who reunited for this special project. It has been a long and rewarding road.”

Check out the exclusive "Nicky Deuce" trailer above!

"Nicky Deuce" premieres on Monday, May 27 at 8 p.m. ET on Nick at Nite.

Upcoming Brand New Animated Nickelodeon Co-Production "Blake And The Aliens" Renamed As "Get Blake"; Former Klasky Csupo Executive Eryk Casemiro Joins France's Marathon Media As New Chief Creative Officer

The entertainment news website C21Media is reporting the Nickelodeon News that Nickelodeon's upcoming brand new animated series "Blake and the Aliens", a co-production between Nick USA, the French television production company Marathon Media ("Totally Spies!", "Gormiti"), the French children's television channel Gulli, and Game One, has been renamed and will be now called "Get Blake". The all-new animated series "Get Blake", 52 episodes x 13 minutes, will be about a 13-year-old boy named Blake, who one morning gets attacked by a trio of evil, alien squirrels who have been sent from the future to undermine Blake's self-esteem, ensuring he does not grow up to become the superhero Captain Blake, defender of the universe and their sworn enemy.

C21Media is also reporting in the same article that Marathon Media has appointed Eryk Casemiro, a former Klasky Csupo ("Rugrats", "The Wild Thornberrys") executive who was the senior Vice President (VP) of creative affairs for seven years at the multimedia entertainment production company until 2003, as the studios new chief creative officer:

Marathon hires new CCO

Marathon Media, the French company behind animated hits Totally Spies! and Gormiti, has appointed a new chief creative officer from the US.

Eryk Casemiro joins Marathon having previously worked as senior VP of creative affairs at Klasky Csupo (Rugrats, The Wild Thornberrys) for seven years until 2003, when he left to work as an independent producer on projects such as Olivia, The Mr Men Show and Poppy Cat.

He has relocated from the US to France for the Marathon role, which will see him manage the creative aspects of all current kids’ productions at the firm and lead its team of exec producers.

He will report to Vincent Chalvon-Demersay and David Michel, CEO and MD of Marathon Media respectively. “Eryk’s arrival is a logical move for Marathon Media as we are expanding our activities in LA with the recent greenlight of Get Blake,” said Chalvon-Demersay and Michel.

Get Blake is a coproduction between Marathon, Nickelodeon in the US, Gulli in France and Game One, described by Casemiro as “Terminator with squirrels.”

“It follows a teenage boy who becomes the target of alien squirrels who’ve come from the future to eliminate him,” Casemiro told C21. The comedy toon is aimed at six- to 11-year-olds.

Zodiak Media-owned French animation company Marathon Media has tapped American Emmy Award-winning producer Eryk Casemiro to serve as chief creative officer for its Kids division.

Casemiro will manage the creative aspects of all current kids productions and will lead a team of executive producers. He will also be overseeing development and production opportunities for new content for children and families across all media platforms.

Casemiro’s development experience as a studio executive, writer, creator and producer spans more than 450 half-hours of television and four motion pictures. During his seven years as SVP of creative affairs at Klasky Csupo, Casemiro helped launch the Rugrats movie franchises, as well as television series including The Wild Thornberrys, Rocket Power and As Told By Ginger. Since then, he has written and produced children’s literary properties including Olivia, The Mr. Men Show and Poppy Cat.

His arrival in Paris is timed with Marathon’s expanding activities in L.A. The company recently got the green light for its first co-production with Nickelodeon US, Nickelodeon International, Gulli and Game One for the toon Get Blake, originally called Blake and the Aliens (pictured).

Tony Wood, Executive Producer Of Nickelodeon's "House Of Anubis", Leaves Lime Pictures, Sets Up Production Company With Cineflix Studios Called Buccaneer Media

The entertainment news website C21Media is reporting the news that Tony Wood, a executive producer of Nickelodeon's hit live-action mystery drama series "House of Anubis", has left the British television production company Lime Pictures, the production company which makes "House of Anubis" with Nickelodeon and Studio 100, and will now be the Cheif Executive Officer (CEO) of the new production company Buccaneer Media, a joint venture between Tony Wood and Cineflix Studios:

Cineflix builds with Wood

Cineflix Studios has linked up with the former creative director of UK indie Lime Pictures to form a new prodco, with an Eddie Izzard drama already in the pipeline.

Buccaneer Media will develop and produce a range of scripted programming for broadcasters worldwide, according to Peter Smith, board director at Buccaneer and CEO of Cineflix Studios since August last year.

The fledgling prodco will be headed by CEO Tony Wood, who left Lime earlier this year having overseen production of The Only Way Is Essex and long-running drama Hollyoaks, and was also exec producer of Nickelodeon’s House of Anubis.

“Our ambition is to build a globally focused company producing everything from family entertainment to high-quality drama and structured reality rooted in the social media landscape,” said Wood.

Buccanneer has already signed a development deal with Impact Film & Television, producer of CBBC’s one-off 2011 special Last Christmas, on four projects. They include an upcoming “dramatic, fresh new take” on Jekyll and Hyde, starring Izzard, which does not yet have a broadcaster attached.

Meanwhile, deals are also in place for two so-far unnamed “scripted family” projects with North American networks, Wood told C21.

Buccaneer’s programming will be sold internationally by Cineflix Rights, distribution arm of Cineflix Media.

“Forming this partnership with Cineflix Studios will mean I can draw on their expertise and experience in producing for US and Canadian networks while retaining the creativity and independence to achieve my ambition for Buccaneer,” added Wood.

Cineflix Studios, the scripted division of Cineflix Media, launched in 2010 and has so far coproduced period drama Copper for BBC America with Nomadic Pictures in Canada and is working on upcoming drama Will alongside Participant Media for the latter’s new Pivot channel.

Meanwhile, Cineflix Studios is looking to partner with more companies, specifically in the UK and Canada, in order to increase its drama output, Smith told C21.

Cineflix, Tony Wood launch Buccaneer Media

Cineflix Studios has hooked up with former Lime Pictures creative Tony Wood to create a new production company that already has an Eddie Izzard project in the works.

Buccaneer Media will be based in the UK and work with the scripted arm of Canada’s Cineflix Media on developing and producing a range of programmes for broadcasters.

The company already has two deals in place with unnamed North American networks and a development deal with Lost Christmas producer Impact Film and Television.

Among four projects contained with the Impact agreement is a reworking of the Jekyll and Hyde story that has comedian and actor Izzard attached to star.

Wood was previously creative director of All3Media-owned Lime, which is behind The Only Way is Essex and Hollyoaks. He also counts Nickelodeon series House of Anubis among his credits.

He said: “Launching Buccaneer is a hugely exciting move for me. Our ambition is to build a globally focused company producing everything from family entertainment to high quality drama and structured reality rooted in the social media landscape. But at its heart, Buccaneer will have a simple philosophy: compelling characters, strong narratives and emotional underpinning all combining to create the most engaging television for as many audiences as possible.

“Forming this partnership with Cineflix Studios will mean I can draw on their expertise and experience in producing for US and Canadian networks while retaining the creativity and independence to achieve my ambition for Buccaneer.”

Cineflix Rights will sell Buccaneer’s productions on the international market.
