"I'm not leaving until we wrap." Netflix has unveiled an official trailer for a Turkish drama titled Cici, from filmmaker Berkun Oya (also of Happy New Year London previously). Set to premiere on Netflix for streaming at the end of this month. The synopsis states that years ago a family migrated to the city after a loss. When they reunite in their hometown 30 years later, buried emotions and painful secrets resurface. "A tragic death that brings the family together, reveals the repressed feelings and painful memories that they have kept from each other for around 30 years." The film's cast features Fatih Artman, Sevval Balkan, Ayça Bingöl, Incinur Dasdemir, Yilmaz Erdogan, Funda Eryigit, Olgun Simsek, Nur Sürer, and Okan Yalabik. This really seems like something quite special, an epic tale of a family and many years of emotions. Reminds me of the kind of films Nuri Bilge Ceylan makes. Looks like it might be worth watching.

Dr Gregory House is making a local visit to Turkey after broadcaster Kanal D ordered an adaptation of the Fox medical drama.

Kanal D has commissioned a Turkish version from Red Arrow-backed Karga Seven Pictures Turkey, sister company to the Booze Traveller and Hunting Hitler producer.

Known locally as Hekimoğlu, the series will star Turkish actor Timuçin Esen in the lead role of Ateş Hekimoğlu, which was originally played by Hugh Laurie. The cast also includes Okan Yalabık, Ebru Özkan, Kaan Yıldırım, Damla Colbay and Aytaç Şaşmaz.

The series is written by Banu Kiremitçi Bozkurt and directed by Hülya Gezer, with Karga Seven’s Ömer Özgüner and Ümmü Burhan serving as executive producers.

Karga Seven Pictures Turkey secured the rights to House M.D. from NBCUniversal International Formats. Universal Television produced the original series of House M.D. for Fox, which ran for eight seasons. The format has also been adapted in Russia.

Life for a woman like Elmas (Ecem Uzun) in Turkey is a living nightmare. An eighteen-year old all but sold to a willing husband (Serkan Keskin‘s Koca) much older than she to clean his house, give her mother-in-law (Sema Poyraz‘s Kaynana) across the hall insulin shots, and — marriage or not — get raped every night, she’s gradually losing her sense of identity and mind. She’s so young and unversed in the world that she makes a game out of folding the sheets atop their bed to see whether a coin will slide from one end to the other without hitting a fold. Elmas’ sole release is watching her neighbor in the adjacent building dance to pop music while sneaking a cigarette on the balcony when no one is looking.

This is the conservative Muslim life we in the western world believe women in the Middle East endure.
