He is best known as an actor but Idris Elba has also entered the production business via his company Green Door Pictures created in 2013. Apple TV+ will be among his clients for series and films. According toVariety, the apple brand and the company signed a first agreement last week.
Among Green Door Pictutes' feats of arms, we find feature films starring Idris Elba such as the comedyIn The Long Run. The company also sold its seriesTurn Up Charlieto Netflix and is therefore used to working with streaming platforms.
A new big name in cinema and series
As a reminder, Idris Elba came to the attention of the general public for his role as Stringer Bell in the seriesThe Wire. He appears on screen as one of the charismatic leaders of a group of drug traffickers in Baltimore. Subsequently, we could find him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He plays Heimdall, the guardian of the Bifrost, the interdimensional portal allowing one to pass from the kingdom of Asgard to Earth. Finally, we also saw it in the British seriesLutherwhere he plays a police officer tormented by his past.
For Apple TV+, it is therefore the prospect of an enrichment of its catalog which is considered a little too restricted by many users. This also confirms the ambitions of the Cupertino company for its service. In addition to contracts withbig names in cinema, we learned last week that an agreement was reached with theFondation Maurice Sendakfor the adaptation of the prolific work of the writer. Enough to produce new youth programs capable of attracting a wider audience.
