Ken Finkleman writes, directs and stars in Escape from The Newsroom, a two-hour sequel to his widely acclaimed series. The series was an international hit, garnering numerous awards, and reaching a large, devoted audience. Newsroom‘s trademark acid wit is out in full force in a new satirical look at life behind the camera in television’s editorial backroom. The film re-unites members of the original cast, and introduces new characters into the already volatile mix. Ken Finkleman is back as George Findlay, the neurotic, hypochondriac, politically incorrect news director. Peter Keleghan reprises the role of anchor Jim Walcott, who has emerged from his coma to make a triumphant return to the anchor desk despite the bullet still lodged in his brain. Other Newsroom regulars include Jeremy Hotz and Karen Hines as news producers and David Huband as Bruce the weatherman. And, once again, Leah Pinsent takes on the role of reporter/anchor Diane from Finkleman’s 1998 CBC-TV series More Tears. |
