The Screening Room

As a big fan of Myleenes, this was a huge shock to me ... I never expected her to do anything like this, but I'm really excited to see what it'll be like!

A major new feature programming strand on CNN International, ‘The Screening Room' is a monthly half-hour film show, hosted by British television personality Myleene Klass.

On the set, on the carpet and on location, ‘The Screening Room' takes the CNN audience through the stages of film-making from production to premiere. A cast of the world's best actors, directors, cinematographers, writers, composers and animators demonstrate each month what goes into making a masterpiece.

Opening the series, Myleene explores the age-old question - major movie house or independent film? On the one hand, a multi-million dollar budget with directorial handcuffs; on the other, creative freedom limited only by concerns over cash. ‘The Screening Room' tested the water at this year's first major film festivals, Sundance and Berlin, and found the boundaries are becoming blurred.

‘The Screening Room' concludes in March by turning the clock back by two and a half thousand years. The rich history of the ancient Greeks has provided Hollywood studios with an even richer box office bonanza through their blockbusters ‘Alexander' and ‘Troy'. Now they're at it again with ‘300', a story of Spartan soldiers who battled a large Persian army, and which is already on track to being the most successful March movie release at the box office in history. Myleene meets the finest of the ‘300' at the film's sparkling London premiere.

Tonight, at 6:30 on the CNN network :)
