EXCLUSIVE: Three Wiser Men and a Baby producer Lighthouse Pictures has upped Trevor McWhinney to SVP of Content.

McWhinney was previously the Canadian studio’s VP of Business Development and VP of Production. His new gig will see him oversee Lighthouse’s strategy for developing and producing original TV movies. He will collaborate with writers, clients and producers on new projects, from the development stage through to greenlight, while focusing on discovery and mentorship of new creative talent.

McWhinney is the creator and producer behind Gotta Grudge?, which aired in 12 countries and led to a deal on the hit series Dragon’s Den. His promotion comes as part of the company’s global expansion strategy, it said. Lighthouse recently promoted Jameson Parker to CEO after Martini Film Studios took a majority stake.

McWhinney said: “Having worked with its talented team for so many years, I have seen how the company has evolved and built a strong reputation for producing high quality productions both across Canada and internationally.”

Vancouver-based Lighthouse’s past credits include the likes of Netflix Stephen King adaptation 1922, and Hallmark’s Three Wiser Men and a Baby plus sequel Three Wiser Men and a Boy.

Elton John reveals pain caused by name change
The Rocket Man singer admitted there was an unanticipated downside to ditching his birth name. Elton, 77, was born Reginald Kenneth Dwight in 1947 but legally changed his name to Elton Hercules John on 7 January 1972. "Reginald is a really old-fashioned name," Elton told Good Morning America in a new interview airing this week. "It's shortened to Reggie, which I hated. I just didn't like it, and as soon as I could, I changed my name.". However, the singer-songwriter revealed his decision "caught up" to him just as he was about to go on stage for a now-historic show at LA's Dodger Stadium in 1975.
