Foxtel signs up for The House Of Hancock
Foxtel has been revealed as the broadcaster for Screentime’s forthcoming dramatisation of the story behind Gina Rinehart’s huge wealth.
The House Of Hancock, based on Adele Ferguson’s book, will focus on the story of Rinehart’s father Lang Hancock.
Based on today’s announcement, it appears that the six hour miniseries will steer away from the recent life story of the at-times-litigious Rinehart, who is currently a major shareholder of Fairfax Media.
Who will play the Mother Monster Magnate?
Magda Szubanski?
Chrissie Swan in her acting debut?
Or the ubiquitous Roy Billing?
Bud-T 2000 is contractually obligated to appear in every local film and TV production…
Yep, this is what i have been waiting for to really get value out of a Fox subscription.
No wonder I do not pay for Foxtel. Nothing on and nothing new worth watching
Why is Australia so obsessed with making dramatised bio-pics about local magnates of one kind or another, some of whom aren’t even dead yet? A frame hasn’t even been filmed but already I couldn’t care less. How about investing in some original creative fiction instead? I get more than enough exposure to Gina et al from our navel-gazing press!!
Now we shall sing the patriotic song “We breathlessly await approval from our plutocrat overlords, whilst toiling in the factories for $2 a day”.
