Paramount+ UK Launch Event
Talent Quotes/Excerpts
June 20, 2022

TULSA KING

Sylvester Stallone

  • What we have here is a great story about a guy getting an new chance in life, a fresh start - it’s not over ‘til it’s over – something everyone can relate to.
  • No matter how much money you have, you want to be loved and have something to love. You may not attain it but you keep trying.
  • Through all the episodes, they’re funny they’re serious - there’s true passion.

YELLOWSTONE

Kevin Costner

  • Cinematic storytelling is what Paramount does. Now, Paramount is taking that incredible movie legacy and bringing the same approach to television – pushing TV and streaming to where they’ve never gone before with Yellowstone leading the way.
  • Taylor Sheridan has created a truly gripping story – a story about family, power, deception and redemption. No one could have predicted that Yellowstone would break records in the United States with 20 million viewers globally…making it not only the #1 show in America, but the Netherlands and Canada as well.

BASS REEVES

David Oyelowo

  • It’s a role I’ve been obsessed with playing for several years now. I mean, this is the guy the iconic Lone Ranger was based on – and who, unfortunately, got whitewashed out of history.

STAR TREK

Sonequa Martin-Green

  • Being a part of the Star Trek universe is a journey like no other. It is truly an honor to play Captain Michael Burnham of the USS Discovery. Not only because she’s the first Black woman to captain a starship – but because I get to be a part of an extraordinary decades-long history with the most passionate fans in the world.

Kate Malgrew

  • In Star Trek Voyager, I had the pleasure of playing Captain Kathryn Janeway – the first female Star Trek captain. And it’s been so much fun being the voice of Captain Janeway on the animated series, Star Trek Prodigy. There’s nothing more joyful than inspiring children to imagine what’s possible throughout and beyond the stars. 
  • In fact, Paramount+ is bringing the entire Star Trek universe to life: with movies and franchises that cross back and forth – from series, to films, to animation. We truly have something for everyone.

YELLOWJACKETS

Melanie Lynskey

  • The story is so clever and compelling – and does such a beautiful job of exploring the inner worlds of teenage girls, who don’t fit into stereotypes or neat boxes.
 
Tawny Cypress

  • The show is a psychological thriller, but it’s also a coming of age story about the ways we’re shaped by our past. And what makes Yellowjackets such a pleasure for an actor is that it is unafraid to present women as complicated, layered, and imperfect – in other words, real women.

GEORGE & TAMMY

Jessica Chastain

  • Our new series George & Tammy tells the beautiful story of two lost souls who find each other through music. I had the privilege of playing the great Tammy Wynette – a true pioneer of country music.
  • Her talent was as big as her heart, and she profoundly influenced generations of musicians, especially women. But behind that music was a story about love, heartbreak, and redemption. And we did our best to tell it in a way that is unvarnished and true.

Michael Shannon

  • In the series, we uncovered a complex, moving, very human story about life and love.
  • And what makes this series remarkable is the power of George & Tammy’s music – the way it shaped these two extraordinary artists, and the way it helps convey this story’s dramatic weight beyond words.
 
The Man Who Fell to Earth

Chiwetel Ejiofor

  • We’re all so proud of this show and so excited to share it with you today.
 
Naomie Harris

  • Our show is really about the idea that true connection is universal, and the very key to our survival.
 
Bill Nighy

  • I have the honor of picking up where the great David Bowie left off, playing the alien Thomas Jerome Newton.
  • Of course, 25 years later, he’s a bit older and worse for wear, which is why I got the part.
  • And while this is a story of imagination, the themes we explore are ones we all grapple with every day. 
  • The writing is truly exceptional and the cinematic quality of this series is so beautiful, you won’t be able to take your eyes off the screen.

1883

Tim McGraw

  • What drew me to 1883 was that this was such a unique moment in world history as industrialization was transforming the way people lived. And the canvas Taylor created is an expansive, authentic look at a rapidly changing society.
  • He didn’t use a single pixel of CGI. Our 400-person cast and crew traversed the United States for 7 months. We filmed from coast to coast, going from 100 degree heat out in the open plains, to below freezing temperatures in the mountains. 
  • What you see is not special effects – the horses, the river crossings, the fights, it’s all real, designed to take you into the heart of the American west. And the challenge is what excited me – because I knew that if we could get it right, we’d be creating something totally new.

Faith Hill

  • Filming this series has been unlike anything Tim and I have ever done. And it’s been worth every second – because we’re creating something that audiences have connected with so deeply. 
  • 1883 has become such a blockbuster hit because, at its heart, it’s a story about universal themes that speak to who we are as humans – seeking new worlds, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, and, at its core, protecting the enduring bonds of family. They touch on ideas that all of us – no matter where we’re from – can connect to.
  • It was such a success that Taylor wanted to go deeper into this world, with a story about
  • a legendary lawman – but with a twist.

THE OFFER

Matthew Goode

  • In our limited series The Offer, we go behind-the-scenes to explore the making of The Godfather. When I read the script, I just knew I had to be part of telling his remarkable story.

iCARLY

Miranda Cosgrove

  • I play a teenager who has to balance high school and being an international star – she was the original influencer.
  • I love working with Paramount+ on our show – because we have the broadest diversity of content of any streaming service, including an incredible library of Kids and Family content.

Teen Wolf

Tyler Hoechlin

  • When we joined this series as young actors over ten years ago, I never imagined that today, Teen Wolf would continue to be beloved around the world. Not a week passes that I don’t hear from fans asking when we’re going to resurrect the franchise.
  • What’s so appealing about Teen Wolf, particularly for young people, is that werewolves have secret identities. And there’s something captivating about that idea – because it’s what every young person, no matter where they live, struggles with as they come to terms with who they are.
 
Tyler Posey

  • So we’re incredibly excited about partnering again with Jeff Davis on our new Teen Wolf movie on Paramount+. The story takes us back to Beacon Hills with the wolves howling again. And get ready for Jeff Davis’ new series that will premiere at the same time as the movie, Wolf Pack. You can catch up on the franchise with the entire 100-episode library of Teen Wolf on Paramount+.
 
HALO

Pablo Schreiber

  • Halo is a franchise that has touched generations – and being a part of its legacy is a dream come true.  Bringing this series to life has been more than just fun, more than a labor of love. It’s a responsibility to do right by the diehard fans of Halo – and to people who just love great television.
 
Natascha McElhone

  • What makes my character so compelling is that she’s constantly challenging and upending the status quo. It’s been rewarding to play such a complex woman who manages to subvert expectations and constantly surprise us.
  • Hopefully with these rich characters the show brings to life, we’re able to explore deeper questions about humanity – about what other forms of intelligence we create and adapt to and whether we improve or degrade because of it.

THE FIRST LADY

Gillian Anderson

  • THE FIRST LADY is a female-driven story about three distinct eras of American history.

Nickelodeon India Partners With Ministry of Ayush to Celebrate International Yoga Day

India - Viacom18’s leading kids’ entertainment franchise, Nickelodeon, through its thought-provoking initiatives has successfully engaged and entertained young minds. As a pioneer in promoting the benefits of yoga amongst kids, this International Yoga Day, Nickelodeon is all set to take Yoga Day celebrations a notch higher by bringing back its flagship campaign #YogaSeHiHoga and induct thousands of kids into the blissful world of Yoga.

 
As a part of the campaign, Nickelodeon is geared up to engage kids across the country through an array of on-air creatives establishing the benefits of yoga in a relatable manner. In addition to this, the campaign will witness fun interactivity where kids stand a chance of getting featured on TV by sharing their yoga poses online. All kids have to do is to log on to nickindia.com and upload a photo or video of them doing Yoga!
 
Commenting on associating with Nickelodeon for third year in a row, Kavita Garg, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Ayush, said, “Over the last two years, children have experienced high-stress levels and have been living a sedentary lifestyle, making it imperative to help them get back to their routine and instill positive energy through the power of yoga. We are extremely pleased with Nickelodeon’s initiative year-on-year helping tiny tots inculcate healthy habits at a young age through innovative formats. We truly believe our association with Nickelodeon will truly help induct kids about the essence of bringing balance in human relationships with Yoga, by leveraging the affinity of their favourite Nicktoons!”

Speaking on bringing back the initiative, Sonali Bhattacharya, Head, Marketing, Kids TV Network, Viacom18, said, "Nickelodeon has always believed in engaging kids through meaningful initiatives that bring about a positive behavioural change in them. With #YogaSeHiHoga, we aim to imbibe the life changing benefits of yoga in kids from a very early age. It is our privilege to associate with the AYUSH Ministry, year-on-year, who actively advocate the importance of having a healthy mind and body. With a commitment towards our young audiences, this year too, we look forward to inspiring kids to lead a more relaxed and stress-free life, be it physically, mentally or emotionally.”


The Nicktoons have been actively advocating the benefits of yoga, inspiring kids towards a healthier and balanced life. In 2019, the campaign saw Motu and Patlu perform yoga with Prime Minster Narendra Modi along with 40,000 people at Prabhat Tara Ground and partnered with Mumbai’s biggest Yoga event – ‘Yoga by the Bay’, attended by over 10,000 yogis with Nicktoons Shiva and Rudra in attendance. Last year, owing to the pandemic, Nickelodeon celebrated Yoga Day virtually in partnership with the AYUSH Ministry and highlighted the importance of building a healthier immune system. The digital partnership was extensively promoted through interactive posts, and videos, followed by a nationwide contest that reached out to over 6,30,000 mothers and kids through digital mediums and received 3000+ entries under the Yoga contest hosted on the brand platform.

To ensure wide spread awareness and to promote yoga ahead of International Yoga Day, Nickelodeon will drive engagement for #YogaSeHiHoga this year via a robust influencer marketing campaign, the entire Nickelodeon franchise on-air and on digital as well as on its social media channels.
