Think Fink: Ken Finkleman out of The Newsroom
Ken Finkleman, Canada's equivalent of Ricky Gervais, behind CBC series "The Newsroom" and "More Tears" is shooting an ambitious, untitled six-part miniseries, set in a hotel and with 200 roles, running "the gamut from love story to comedy to murder mystery. Most shooting was done in Toronto but [Ottawa's] Chateau Laurier was chosen for several locations, including the kitchen, sub-basement and retro-looking pool. The sprawling story is framed around two murders, some 40 years apart, set at a hotel housing a bizarre range of characters. The project features recognizable Canadian faces such as Tom McCamus, Don McKellar and Martha Henry, who plays the drug-and-alcohol addicted facility's owner."
