Peter Serafinowicz to host film show on Facebook

Peter Serafinowicz is to host a new interactive film discussion programme for mobile phone firm Orange, streamed exclusively on social network Facebook.

The Liverpool-born actor will present Orange's Film Night Live on Facebook every Thursday between 8pm and 8.30pm, joined by Empire magazine's Chris Hewitt.

In the programme, the more than 39,000 fans of Orange's 'Film Club' Facebook page will be invited to discuss the week's selected title on Orange Films To Go, the promotion enabling Orange mobile and broadband customers to rent a new film for free from iTunes every Thursday. Previous week's films have included The Wrestler and Che: Part One.

Film fans will be able to contact Serafinowicz and Hewitt with their comments, likes and dislikes via a live web chat, while the show will also feature special guests each week.

"I'm a massive movie buff, so getting to talk about films for 30 minutes every week on Orange Film Night Live is a great opportunity for me to get my geek on with a load of film fans," said Serafinowicz.

"Who doesn't like a bit of movie-based Facebook banter of a Thursday evening? Orange Film To Go has a load of great films coming up for customers to download so I'm sure they'll be plenty for Chris and I to amuse ourselves (and hopefully others) with over the coming months."

Last month, Serafinowicz was announced as the latest guest star to appear on Sky Atlantic's surreal comedy This Is Jinsy, playing a seedy cupboard salesman in the highly-anticipated show.
