Film about 1993 Waco siege is in the works

LOS ANGELES, May 20 (UPI) -- Representatives for Emilio Ferrari say the Hollywood producer is working on a film about the 1993 FBI siege of the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas.

Ferrari's film producing credits include Baby on Board and Luckytown.

He recently signed on to produce the $30 million big-screen drama, Waco, under his production company A Plus Productions.

Waco is about how the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives attempted to arrest Branch Davidian leader David Koresh, but instead became embroiled in a 51-day siege, in which four ATF agents, Koresh and 76 of his followers, including 21 children, were killed.

Producing alongside Ferrari will be Rupert Wainwright and Lee Nelson's Breathless Films.

Wainwright is set to direct the film, which he co-wrote with James Hibberd.

Mike McNulty, who produced the 1997 documentary, Waco: The Rules of Engagement, will co-produce Waco.

Production is to start in October and casting is underway.

Ferrari's Entertainment 7 has acquired the worldwide rights to the film.

Netflix subscribers can stream films on TV

LOS GATOS, Calif., May 20 (UPI) -- Netflix Inc., the U.S. online movie rental service, says it is selling a device that allows subscribers to stream movies and TV shows from a digital library.

The Netflix Player by Roku enables Netflix subscribers to instantly stream movies and TV episodes from Netflix directly to their television sets via the Internet.

Priced at $99.99, the player is available for purchase at http://www.roku.com/netflixplayer.

Netflix and Roku said the player is simple to install and to use, and gives Netflix members instant access to more than 10,000 movies and TV episodes.

The key breakthroughs of The Netflix Player by Roku are simplicity and cost, Reed Hastings, chairman and CEO of Netflix, said in a statement. First, it allows consumers to use the full power of the Netflix Web site to choose movies for their instant Queue, and then automatically displays only those choices on the TV screen. That's a major improvement versus the clutter of trying to choose from 10,000 films on the TV. Second, there are no extra charges and no viewing restrictions. For a one-time purchase of $99, Netflix members can watch as much as they want and as often as they want without paying more or impacting the number of DVDs they receive.

Report: Shania Twain's hubby cheated

NEW YORK, May 20 (UPI) -- Canadian singer Shania Twain and her husband, Robert Mutt Lange, broke up because the music producer was involved with another woman, sources told People.com.

Twain's representative recently confirmed the couple was splitting up after 14 years of marriage. The publicist did not offer details, however.

Sources close to the former couple said Lange was involved in an affair with a longtime secretary and manager of Twain and Lange's chateau in Switzerland.

Mutt and (the secretary) left their spouses for each other and are still in a relationship, one insider told People.com.

However, Lange told the magazine, It's not true, when asked if he was in a relationship with the secretary.

A source close to Twain said the singer is devastated.

This came out of left field... She loved him, the source said.
