Voice Cast To Start To Record Dialogue For New "Rocko's Modern Life" TV Movie On Friday 14th October 2016

Voice actor Charlie Adler, who voiced Ed and Bev Bighead in Nickelodeon's classic '90s hit original animated series Rocko's Modern Life, has announced the exciting news in a Tweet on his official Twitter profile page, @Charlie_Adler, that he, along with his co-stars, will begin recording their dialogue for Nickelodeon's upcoming brand-new hour-long Rocko's Modern Life TV movie on Friday 14th October 2016!


Nickelodeon's all-new made-for-television Rocko's Modern Life special will take place in real time, with Rocko returning to the O-Town after 20 years spent drifting about in space. Once back on Earth, Rocko reunites with his O-Town pals, Filburt and Heffer, who are now both addicted to smartphones and apps, and finds he has to quickly get to grips with modern technology, including learning how to use the internet. During the special, Rocko, Filburt and Heffer will have to deal with Modern Life in 2016, 2017 and 2018, experiencing lots of twists and turns along the way, and finding how little freedom everyone has from the tech platforms we've all come to rely on.

Joe Murray, the original creator of Rocko's Modern Life, returns as executive producer and co-director of Nickelodeon's Rocko's Modern Life TV movie. Joining Joe will be Cosmo Segurson (Camp Lazlo) as co-director, and Tom Smith, a former student of Joe's and a storyboardist at Stoopid Buddy studios, and South Park animator Dan Becker.


Nickelodeon's Rocko's Modern Life TV movie will be produced out of Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank, California, and will air on The Splat.

Rocko's Modern Life ran for four seasons from 1993 to 1996 on Nickelodeon. The series followed the wildly ordinary (or ordinarily wild) life of a wallaby named Rocko, his dog Spunky, and his eccentric friends: Heffer, an idiotic steer; Filburt, a turtle with spectacular neuroses; and Mr. and Mrs. Bighead, a middle-aged amphibian couple. The show was known for its surreal aesthetic, copious double entendres, and widespread social satire – which will feel right at home in 2016.

Nickelodeon's Rocko's Modern Life TV movie follows recent announcements of Nickelodeon bringing back its library content for today's audiences. Coming in 2017 is Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie, a new, original TV movie that will feature a storyline picking up from where the original series ended in 2004, resolving unanswered questions and plotlines, including Arnold finally getting answers about the whereabouts of his missing parents.


This fall, Nickelodeon will premiere its Legends of the Hidden Temple original TV movie, an action-adventure movie based on its ‘90s game show of the same name. Drawing from the original show’s premise of kids competing to retrieve artifacts from a mysterious Mayan temple, the new action-adventure TV movie version will follow three siblings who embark on a high-stakes, life-or-death mission. Legends of the Hidden Temple will premiere on Nick USA on Saturday 26th November 2016 at 8:00pm ET/PT.

Ericsson Signs Raft Of Content Deals For Nuvu

Original Ericsson Press Release via the official Ericsson press office:

Ericsson signs raft of content deals for Nuvu

* Ericsson acquires more than 2,500 hours of content from leading international distributors including Viacom (MTV, BET, Nickelodeon), MGM, CBS, Al Jazeera, DHX Media and Mattel

* Titles include globally recognized hit TV series and movies spanning a wide variety of genres as well as music videos

* Nuvu is a complete end-to-end subscription VOD service developed for mobile operators which spans both the technology platform and the content licensing


Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) today announced it has signed a slate of deals with leading content distributors for its subscription video on demand (VOD) service, Nuvu.

Ericsson has acquired more than 2,500 hours of content from international distributors including Viacom (MTV, BET, Nickelodeon), MGM, CBS, Al Jazeera, DHX Media and Mattel. Titles include globally recognized hit TV franchises such as Hawaii Five-O, Next Top Model, CSI: Miami, Being Mary Jane, SpongeBob SquarePants, Bob the Builder, Vikings and many others along with a raft of premium Hollywood movies.

Ericsson has also licensed dozens of pan-regional and local African TV series and movie content from distributors such as iRoko, Trace and Agwhyte International along with hundreds of music videos from the 960 Music Group, which is home to some of West Africa's most influential music artists including P-Square, 2Baba and Yemi Alade.

Thorsten Sauer, Head of Broadcast and Media Services, Ericsson, says: "We have spent a great deal of time working with distributors to source the very best and most relevant international and local content for our new SVOD service, Nuvu. We created Nuvu to help mobile operators in emerging markets to address a significant untapped market for video content. Africa has some of the highest mobile adoption rates globally and there is a high demand for quality content from consumers. We are proud to announce this slate of deals, which we believe will meet and exceed the expectations of Nuvu's discerning audiences, and we look forward to announcing more content deals over the coming months."

Nuvu is a complete end-to-end subscription VOD service developed by Ericsson for mobile operators in emerging markets, which spans both the technology platform and the content licensing. It leverages the company's extensive over-the top capabilities based on Ericsson Managed Player and components of Ericsson MediaFirst TV Platform, Ericsson's highly scalable modular technology platforms used by broadcasters and telco service providers to distribute video content efficiently to connected devices.

For a small monthly fee, subscribers have unlimited access to an initial 3,000 local and international premium titles across a wide variety of genres including Hollywood and Nollywood movies, TV series, kids, music, gospel and education. They can download content directly to their smartphones or tablets at no additional data cost during off-peak network times and access the content offline for up to 30 days after downloading.

The built-in ability to distribute content to consumers during off-peak periods is a core feature of the service. This minimizes data costs for both operator and consumer, addressing the key cost challenge that has so far been an obstacle for VOD uptake in Africa. The platform also integrates fully into the operator's customer relationship management and payment systems. Nuvu is available as an Android app for smartphones and Ericsson will continue to roll out the service on other platforms and operating systems.

Ericsson is one of the leading global providers of broadcast and media services, and has worked with some of the world's most well-known broadcasters, platforms and content producers, including BBC, Channel 4, Channel 5, BT Sport, ITV, FOX, DreamWorks, Liberty Global, NPO, Canal+, NOS, Bonnier Group, Sky, HBO, TV5 Monde and France 24.
