Paris – MIPTV has announced that Entertainment One’s (eOne) President & CEO, Darren Throop, will give a keynote address on April 8, as part of MIPTV’s Media Mastermind keynotes series. Organised by Reed MIDEM, MIPTV will take place in Cannes from April 8-11, 2013.

Following eOne’s recent acquisition of Alliance Entertainment, Throop will discuss the future of his group’s expanding multi-territory and multi-platform business, and express his vision of actively acquiring ownership of content rights for exploitation across all media platforms worldwide.

eOne’s new series Rogue’s creator, writer and supervising producer Matthew Parkhill (The Caller, Dot the I); its showrunner, executive producer and co-director Nick Hamm (Killing Bono, The Hole); eOne’s Television International President, Peter Emerson; and DIRECTV’s Entertainment VP, Patricia Ishimoto, will be presenting the show to international buyers and press, alongside actress Thandie Newton.

A smart, complex, character-led thriller exploring loss, grief, identity, family bonds, second chances and redemption, Rogue revolves around Grace Travis (Thandie Newton), a morally and emotionally-conflicted undercover detective who is tormented by the possibility that her own actions contributed to her son’s death. Shot in Vancouver in 2012, the series is a co-production from Entertainment One and Greenroom Entertainment, produced in participation with The Movie Network, Movie Central and DIRECTV.
