Controversial ABC series The Slap will soon be heard around the world.

Produced by Matchbox Pictures, the popular series – through international distributor DCD Rights – has now sold to DirecTV and TVOntario (TVO) for US and Canada distribution rights, respectively.

It follows the news last month of the acquisition by the Sundance Channel, which will screen the show in Eastern Europe, Greece, Turkey, Spain, Portugal and Asia. The BBC picked up the rights to the show in August and it went to air on BBC4 late-last month, netting an average audience of 830,500 (4 per cent share), according to Variety.

Californian-based DirecTV, which in the past acquired Underbelly, will screen the series on the Audience Network channel later this year.

“Selling The Slap to North America is something that we really hoped for,” producer Helen Bowden told IF today. “DirecTV is the home of the US dramas Damages and Friday Night Lights, so we are thrilled to be in that company.”

While in Canada, The Slap will be seen on public broadcaster TVO in the near future.

“TVOntario goes under the banner ‘Makes you think’, which seems like the right home in Canada for our show.”

It’s been a big week for Melbourne-based Matchbox Pictures, which on Monday was awarded the Independent Producer of the Year trophy at the SPAA Conference dinner and Awards night.

The Slap’s a series that has sparked controversy since airing in Australia in early-October. Based on Christos Tsiolkas’ book of the same name, it follows the repercussions of a single ‘slap’ from a man to a child at a summer barbecue. It brings up such debates as parenting, race, class, sexuality and the rights of children. Each episode covers a different character’s point of view.

Stars appearing in the series include Melissa George, Jonathan LaPaglia, Sophie Lowe, Alex Dimitriades, Essie Davis, Blake Davis, Sophie Okonedo, Anthony Hayes, Diana Glenn and Kingswood Country’s Lex Marinos.

The Slap, Episode 4, “Connie”
November 2, 2011
Source; Pedestrian 

I need to take an acting class to learn to say someone is a good actor/bad actor with more authority. It’s from the ‘you have such a great group of friends’ school of of saying you had an only OK time at someone’s party. An elegant deflection – allowing you nothing whatsoever about the thing itself but still present as a supreme judge of the bigger picture, the craft, the human spirit and all that.

I just get nervous about getting sprung saying Sophie Lowe is really good at playing uninhibited and unselfconscious teen, if she’s really just an uninhibited and unselfconscious Sophie Lowe. Or does it not matter whether she’s comprehensively transforming in to something she’s not, as long as she’s able to capture realistic emotion? Watching Sophie Lowe’s performance in this week’s episode of The Slap made one thing very clear. Her presence is so commanding that I can already tell I will spend the rest of my health-professional waiting-room reading life enduring sycophantic profiles that talk about her skin. For Australian acting accolades are not measured in Oscars but in how many profile pieces reference a flawless make-up free complexion.

Sophie Lowe plays Connie Lang, a character who is herself a good little actress. She shifts effortlessly between her roles as high school girl, veterinary assistant and babysitter. She is sexually direct around Hector (the father of the kids she babysits and the husband of the vet she works for); supporting and agreeable around Rosie (the mother of the boy she babysits and the boy who was slapped), and she is perceptive and playful around her best friend Richie. She contains all these competing qualities, and we watch her improvise reactions to other people’s more established personalities, tenderly testing the boundaries of others by drawing eyeliner on their faces after school or propositioning them in the car ride home after babysitting. She doesn’t really draw us in to her decision making process – she talks in blank teen fragments. All we know is that she is seeking self-definition through the adults we have already spent some time around, Connie’s company helps us to know them better than her.

I just added the first production still from Sophie´s newest project, Autumn Blood, to the gallery

After rising to fame in Beautiful Kate, the gorgeous Sophie Lowe has always been on our radar — both for her acting roles and her effortless, sometimes eclectic style. She’s earned critical acclaim for her role as Connie in The Slap, the must-see mini-series which is in its penultimate episode — don’t miss it: ABC1, 8.30pm tonight. We caught up with her on the green carpet at the Jameson IF Awards last night and asked her to talk us through her stunning complexion so she opened up her clutch and revealed what’s inside . . .
