As an air traffic controller, Dylan Boyd is the embodiment of mathematical precision, until, one day at 2:22PM, a blinding flash of light paralyzes him
for a few crucial seconds. Two passenger planes barely avoid a mid-air collision, and Dylan is placed on two weeks’ probation. Leaving the airport, he
watches the crowd of passengers whose lives he nearly ended. In their midst is a woman, Sarah, to whom he feels inexplicably connected. The next
day, at 2:22, Dylan crosses through New York’s Grand Central Station, noticing familiar patterns of light on the ceiling. Feeling lost without the
pulsating rhythm of his job, he begins to notice the repetition of certain sounds and events a low-flying plane, screeching tires, and many other
occurrences that happen at the same time every day. The re-occurring events appear to be more than just coincidence an underlying pattern that
funnels him into the train station every day at 2:22. At the suggestion of a concerned ex-girlfriend, Dylan goes to see a ballet. During the intermission,
Sarah appears, and the two of them quickly find themselves at a bar, talking over drinks. It’s obvious from the very first moment that Dylan and Sarah
share a deep connection with one another. Although he’s falling fast, Dylan feels that there is something unusual about their attraction. The repeating
daily occurrences do not stop, no matter where he is. He begins to keep track of them, writing down the times and events as they happen, recording
them every day. Digging further, Dylan finds an old news article about a couple, murdered in Grand Central Station thirty-three years’ ago at 2:22. He
and Sarah bear an uncanny resemblance to the couple, Dylan living in the same apartment as the man did, and Sarah wearing an identical angel
pendant to the one worn by the woman. As Dylan becomes more and more obsessed with solving the riddle of the patterns, Sarah becomes
frightened and confides in a friend of hers, Jonas, a co-worker and artist at the gallery where she works. Dylan is suspicious of Jonas when he
reveals a painting of Grand Central Station in exactly the same state and time that Dylan sees it every day. Dylan’s paranoid suspicions send Sarah
running to Jonas, who consoles her and invites her to stay with him at a vacation home for the weekend. Dylan, with crucial information about the
murder from a generation ago, begins to see all the dots connecting. The significance of Jonas’s painting is suddenly cast into frightening focus.
Dylan pleads with Sarah to avoid her trip with Jonas, warning her of the danger, but she refuses, feeling he’s lost his mind. Inside Grand Central
Station however, Sarah sees the scene from Jonas’s painting come to life, finally understanding her vulnerability. Moving just seconds ahead of the
whirling patterns, Dylan must break through the maelstrom of 2:22 to preserve a love whose second chance has finally come.

This is the A-to-Z story of Andrew (Feldman) and Zelda (Milioti) - a pair that almost wasn't - and all that happened from the day they met. Andrew has
always been a secret romantic... not above crooning to Celine Dion while driving to work, with dreams of finding "the one." He imagines her to be just
like that shimmering beauty he spotted that night in that silver dress at that concert two years ago. Zelda, having grown up with a hippie mom who
believed the universe would provide for everything, rebelled into a no-nonsense practical lawyer who prefers the control of online dating. But when a
computer glitch sends her a total mismatch, she's asked to come in for an interview at the Internet dating service where Andrew works, and this is
where it all begins. Andrew and Zelda meet for the first time and despite their differences, sparks fly. She thinks it's chance. He thinks it's fate. After
all, he's convinced she's the shimmering girl in the silver dress. Is it true love forever or just a detour in destiny? Follow along the ins and outs of
Andrew and Zelda.

Alex O'Connor, a young idealistic CIA analyst specializing in Russian affairs, learns a shocking secret and his close-knit, affluent family is about to be
split apart when it's revealed that his parents, Mark (Cohen) and Katya (Davis), are covert Russian spies deactivated decades ago. But today the
Kremlin has re-enlisted them into service as they plan a terrorist operation inside the U.S. border that will bring America to its knees. Years ago,
Russian-born Katya was tasked by the KGB to recruit American businessman Mark O'Connor as a spy and the two fell in love. A deal was struck: as
long as Katya remained an asset for Russia, and it was agreed that her services could be called on in the future, she would be allowed to marry Mark
and move to America. After years in America building a happy life and without word from Moscow, they thought they had escaped. Now it seems that
the new Mother Russia has one more mission - turning Alex into a spy. For these anguished parents, the choice is clear: betray their country... or risk
their family.

It's 1967 and the era of free love, drug experimentation and Vietnam is in full effect. When the teenage daughter of a respected lawyer goes missing,
LA Police Sergeant Sam Hodiak (Duchovny) starts asking around. He soon discovers that the hippie kids he's questioning don't take kindly to cops,
especially one with hair as short as his. Needing the help of someone they trust, he partners with rebellious undercover cop Brian Shafe, a man who's
more comfortable rolling a joint than patrolling a beat. It's not long before they stumble upon a small-time cult leader seeking out vulnerable women to
join his cause. From there, they follow this man's trail down a rabbit hole of drugs, sex, murder and cultural revolution. Little could they know,
however, the guy they're hunting will eventually become the killer we now recognize as Charles Manson. He was a lost soul who desperately wanted
to get into the music scene of the '60s until something snapped. This is the show that will explore the cat-and-mouse game between him and the
police, which will go on for several seasons ultimately ending with the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders.

49 years ago, NASA sent a 1500-foot spacecraft on a 100-year mission to penetrate deep space and reach the faraway star Proxima Centauri. The
spaceship Ascension is powered by controlled explosions of nuclear bombs, and the 350 people aboard consider themselves to be lifeboat for the
human race -- but they're only halfway to their destination and some crewpersons ("Earthers") want to turn back and go home. The murder of local
beauty Lorelei Wright ratchets up the internal tensions to a high pitch, and First Officer Oren Gault is under orders to investigate and find the killer.
But it's possible that his borderline-amateur investigation will reveal the deepest secret of the Ascension – and the true purpose of the project.

TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX TELEVISION 10201 W. Pico Blvd., Bldg. 103 Los Angeles, CA 90035 310-369-1000
A subversive and comic crime procedural about an unhealthy, offensive, irascible – albeit brilliant – detective who is brought back from exile to run
the Portland Police Bureau’s Special Crimes Unit (S.C.U.). Detective Lieutenant Everett Backstrom (Wilson) is a man with no filter. After a five-year
banishment to the traffic division for offensive behavior, he has returned from disgrace to lead Portland’s newly minted S.C.U. Tasked with navigating
the city’s most sensitive and serious cases, he must solve each crime as he tries, and fails, to change his own self-destructive behavior. To no one’s
surprise, Backstrom’s return is far from well-received, especially by his commanding officer, Police Chief Anna Cervantes (Cadranel). Backstrom’s
second-in-command and the person who actually supervises the day-to-day operations of the S.C.U. is Detective Nicole Gravely (Angelson). The
ambitious and optimistic yin to Backstrom’s yang, she extends herself to the limit to counterbalance his erratic and controversial behavior. By her side
is Detective Sergeant John Almond (Haysbert), a tested veteran of the Bureau who doesn’t approve of Backstrom’s xenophobic antics; although he
tries to find the light in people, when it comes to Backstrom, he sees only darkness. The group’s forensics liaison is Sergeant Peter Niedermayer
(Polaha), a handsome, free-spirited, philosophical man whose open approach to the universe pushes all of Backstrom’s buttons. Managing the chain
of evidence at S.C.U. headquarters is civilian support Nadia Paquet (Rosen), a beautiful French immigrant with a profound ability to navigate both
cyberspace and legal bureaucracy. She also takes a liking to Backstrom and, at least technically, fills Backstrom’s doctor’s prescription to “make a
friend.” On the street, uniformed officer Frank Moto (Kennedy) proves his value by suppressing the perpetrators and swiftly maneuvering around
hostile conditions. Meanwhile, Gregory Valentine (Dekker), who serves as Backstrom’s tenant, decorator and underworld connection, has a genuine
fondness for the abrasive cop. Using his dark instincts and peculiar abilities, Backstrom always manages to outsmart his foes, manipulate his peers
and, with the help of his eccentric team, solve the case, even as he less ably adjusts to the progressive sensibilities of 21st century Portland. (May 30

The single-camera comedy, centers on Judge Rebecca Wright a single woman in her 30s, and although she's worked hard to make her way onto the
San Bernardino County judicial bench at such an early age, her private life is a trainwreck of memorable proportions; in fact, a reasonable and
prudent jurist like herself would order her to a sex addiction clinic for immediate rehab. Unable to control her hormonal impulse to neck with any new
man she meets, Rebecca is late for every appointment, and her busy schedule gets busier every day, because she's juggling another three irritated,
disappointed new suitors, all of whom think he is The One. A woman whose tombstone will probably read "Heartbreaker," Rebecca takes on one
time-sucking additional chore after another -- and the simplest way to clear her agenda for the next gig is to drop a few new boyfriends by the side of
the road, and jeez, some of those poor losers don't stop squawking for days.

but gruff, hard-boiled detective, has his world upended when strikingly handsome, charismatic Special Agent Milton Chamberlain (Duhamel) opens an
FBI field office at the police station and chooses Russ to be his partner. Milt’s polished sophistication and access to unlimited state-of-the-art
equipment is impressive to his new co-workers in the absurdly underfunded department. As Russ and Milt work long hours together in the
economically distressed city of Battle Creek, the question is: will it be Milt’s charm and endless supply of high-end resources or Russ’s old-fashioned
cynicism, guile and deception that prove to be the keys to catching the bad guys in his beloved hometown? (June 25 - November 7)

Tess is a successful cozy mystery writer who has a speaking engagement at a library in Chicopee, Massachusetts. After the event, the librarian who
had invited her, Ramona Norville, tells Tess to avoid Interstate 84. She gives Tess the directions to Stagg Road, a presumably safer shortcut to Tess'
home in Connecticut. However, on the shortcut, Tess' Ford Expedition rolls over nail-studded pieces of wood which lie across the road, giving her a
flat tire. The incident happens by an abandoned Esso gas station. Shortly afterwards, a big man in a pickup offers to assist Tess. At first, the trucker
seems to be eager to help, but he soon darkens. Tess realizes that the driver had set out the road hazard. He knocks Tess out and proceeds to
brutally rape and beat her, before finally choking her to unconsciousness. She later wakes up and feigns death as he stashes her body in a culvert
and drives away. After the man has left, Tess escapes, but sees several other murdered women, all victims of the same man, lying dead in the pipe.
Tess escapes to try and find some help, but as she walks, she worries that the attack will create a scandal. She believes that people would write that
she was "asking for it", and her name as an author would be dragged through the mud. She decides that she cannot mentally endure another trauma,
and instead goes home without telling anyone. Later, she uses the detective skills she acquired while writing her novels to find her rapist, who turns
out to be "Little Driver", and kills him. She also kills his two accomplices—his brother, "Big Driver", and his mother, the librarian from Chicopee,
Ramona Norville. Tess comes to terms with her sins and goes home, finally beginning to feel peace.

Based on a true story: It's 1940 and America is still struggling out of the Great Depression. Granite City is a town divided. The Depression has hardly
touched the town's wealthy elite, but for the town's immigrant poor, it's a far different story. Under the auspices of their teacher and mentor, feisty
Sophie Prather, the immigrant boys in the Lincoln Park gang -- including Huggy, Andy, and Evon -- find an alternative to the mean streets in Sophia's
newly opened youth center, where they gather to practice the sport of basketball. Later, this "band of brothers" are the first immigrants allowed into
the town's elite high school, where they are initially met with resistance and suspicion. Coached by a reluctant, somewhat disenchanted head Coach
Bozarth, the boys win their way onto the school varsity basketball team, break the team's sad losing streak and score a series of unprecedented
victories, the line between rich and poor begins to blur, as the entire community embraces the spunky immigrant kids, cheering them on all the way to
a championship.

Coronado High is an epic saga of daring escapades, hedonistic excess, and friendships betrayed, played out across the era when the innocence of
the Summer of Love curdled into the paranoia of the drug war. Nobody would’ve figured the kids from the sleepy beach town of Coronado, California,
for criminal masterminds. They were just some hippie surfers, high school friends who’d come up with the idea of swimming bundles of marijuana
across the border from Tijuana during the summer of 1969. Within a decade, however, the Coronado Company had become the largest potsmuggling operation on the West Coast, a $100 million empire with outposts from Mexico to Morocco to Thailand. And sitting at the top of it all was
the most improbable of kingpins: Lou Villar, a former Spanish teacher and swimming coach at Coronado High School.

Tilly (Winslet) is beautiful, talented and distinctly unique. Burdened by guilt she returns to her hometown to find her mother, Mad Molly, demented.
Tilly is an outsider, accused of murder and turned upon by insular locals. Whilst there is pain in the past and Tilly remains accused, the landscape is
populated by a host of formidable characters who do the funniest, surprising and sometimes unsavory things; and who elevate reality into a warmhearted Cohen’esque human comedy. Tilly is a genius with haute couture and armed with fabric and a needle she transforms and liberates the
women in the town; and ultimately exacts sweet revenge on those who did her wrong. She is a femme fatale who falls unexpectedly in love, which
also leads her to her greatest loss and most destructive deed.

Seventeen-year-old Bianca Piper is cynical and loyal, and she doesn't think she's the prettiest of her friends by a long shot. She's also way too smart
to fall for the charms of man-slut and slimy school hottie Wesley Rush. In fact, Bianca hates him. And when he nicknames her "the Duff," she throws
her Coke in his face. But things aren't so great at home right now, and Bianca is desperate for a distraction. She ends up kissing Wesley. Worse, she
likes it. Eager for escape, Bianca throws herself into a closeted enemies-with-benefits relationship with him. Until it all goes horribly awry. It turns out
Wesley isn't such a bad listener, and his life is pretty screwed up, too. Suddenly Bianca realizes with absolute horror that she's falling for the guy she
thought she hated more than anyone. And eventually, through this realization, Bianca begins to see how harmful her unhealthy way of dealing with
her problems has been, and finds a way to confront them head on. Based on the the novel The DUFF: (Designated Ugly Fat Friend) by Kody
Keplinger.

A sexy and powerful drama about the head of a music empire whose three sons and ex-wife all battle for his throne. Lucious Lyon (Howard) is the
king of hip-hop. An immensely talented artist, the CEO of Empire Entertainment and a former street thug, his reign has been unchallenged for years.
But all that changes, when he learns he has a disease that is going to render him crippled and incapacitated in a matter of three years. The clock is
ticking, and he must groom one of his three sons to take over his crowning achievement, without destroying his already fractured family. Lucious’
favorite is his youngest son, Hakeem (Gray), a gifted musician and a spoiled playboy who values fame over hard work. The middle son, Jamal
(Smollett), is a sensitive soul and a musical prodigy who, unlike Hakeem, shies away from the spotlight. Jamal also happens to be gay, which
infuriates and embarrasses his father. Andre (Byers), the eldest son, is CFO of Empire Entertainment. Wharton-educated with a brilliant business
mind, Andre lacks the charisma that Lucious believes is crucial to running the company. But in his quest for power, Andre is assisted by his
manipulative and like-minded wife, Rhonda (Doubleday). As Lucious prompts his sons to vie for the empire, his plans are thrown into chaos when his
ex-wife, Cookie (Henson), mysteriously emerges seven years early from prison, where she’s been for almost two decades. Brash and fearless, she
sees herself as the sacrificial lamb who built this empire with Lucious and then took the fall for running the drugs that financed Lucious’ early career.
For now, Lucious remains firmly in control of Empire Entertainment. He is attended to by his hard-working assistant, Becky (Sidibe), and relies on
longtime friend and Chairman of the Board Vernon Turner (Yoba) for advice and support. He relies on a whole lot more from Anika Gibbons (Gealey),
the head of A&R for Empire, and his current girlfriend. As the Lyons slug it out, an emotional chess game begins that will either cause the family’s
destruction or redemption. Lives and loves will be lost as the complicated family will come together and fall apart over the elusive throne, all set to an
original soundtrack written and produced by legendary hip-hop hitmaker Timbaland. Will the family unite and learn to love each other before it’s too
late? Love, war, family, sacrifice, money and music: this is the story of the Lyons’ Empire.

response to authority. Consumed with understanding man's capacity for evil, this Jewish man, the son of Hungarian and Romanian immigrants, felt
compelled to explore such disturbing questions as, "How do civilized human beings participate in destructive, inhumane acts? How was genocide
implemented so systematically, so efficiently, and how did the perpetrators of those murders life with themselves?"

Reno, so-called because of the place of her birth, comes to New York intent on turning her fascination with motorcycles and speed into art. Her arrival
coincides with an explosion of activity—artists colonize a deserted and industrial SoHo, stage actions in the East Village, blur the line between life
and art. Reno is submitted to a sentimental education of sorts—by dreamers, poseurs, and raconteurs in New York and by radicals in Italy, where she
goes with her lover to meet his estranged and formidable family.

for almost 200 years by remaining "wild" — leaving behind the elements of modern life which they consider unnatural and potentially dangerous.
Within the parameters of their new, more sustainable and “authentic" lifestyle, they are a free people, and mostly harmonious. But the outside world
can’t be kept out forever, and three separate discoveries in the pilot episode threaten to shatter the friendship of Aethys, Essyn and Roman - and the
colony as well. (June 12 - July 29)

A single-camera comedy about the life and adventures of the last man on earth. The year is 2022, and after an unlikely event, only one man is left on
earth: Phil Miller (Forte), who used to be just an average guy who loved his family and hated his job at the bank. Now, in his RV, Phil searches the
country for other survivors. He has traveled to every city, every town and every outpost in the United States, Mexico and Canada, and has found no
one, which leads him to the painful realization that he is almost certainly the last living being on the face of the earth. Sure, there are some positives
that come with being the last person on earth. You can go live in the White House if you want. You can park in handicapped spots without an ounce
of guilt. You can decorate your home with priceless works of art. You wanna wear a pair of tighty-whiteys and nothing else every single day of the
year? Not a problem. The Last Man On Earth is a comedy about a man trying to make lemonade out of the most soul-crushing lemon there is. But if
anyone can do it, Phil Miller can. He’s not about to give up now. He is sad and so, so very lonely. But he’ll get through this. Because there’s a small
kernel of hope that somewhere out there is another survivor. And maybe one day, they’ll run into each other. That would be a good day. And if that
survivor happened to be a woman? Well, then that would be a great day.

The biography details Elvis Presley's first 24 years, leaving off when his rise is interrupted by his being drafted into the army. The son of a ne'er-dowell father and an unnaturally devoted mother, an only child whose twin brother died at birth, Elvis grew up sheltered and alone. The fact that his
father made little attempt to lift his family out of poverty turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because they remained just one tiny rung up the social
ladder from their black neighbors--and their music. From an early age, Elvis heard and admired gospel and rhythm and blues. Amazingly, his own
style seems to have emerged full-grown; he took only a few guitar lessons, performed little in high school, and to all outward appearances was
``beyond shy,'' in the words of his first producer, Sam Phillips. Thanks to Phillips, who patiently oversaw his first sessions, the real Elvis quickly
emerged: a dynamic performer who knew instinctively how to bring his audience to a frenzy and rapidly became a star. Based on the novel "Last
Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley" by Peter Garalnick.

Twin brothers Ronald "Ronnie" Kray and Reginald "Reggie" Kray were English gangsters who were the foremost perpetrators of organized crime in
the East End of London during the 50s and 60s. With their gang, "The Firm", the Krays were involved in armed robberies, arson, protection rackets,
assaults, and numerous murders. As West End nightclub owners, they mixed with prominent entertainers including Diana Dors, Frank Sinatra, Judy
Garland and with many politicians. The Krays were much feared within their milieu, and in the 60s became celebrities in their own right, even being
photographed by David Bailey and interviewed on television.The story tracks their early years in a frightening tale of how two unknown 18 year old
amateur boxers quickly fought their way to becoming the most feared and respected villains in all of London. Told through the eyes of a close friend
that survived them, we see them rise to infamy through drugs, sex and murder. Their name became synonymous with crime in the UK and still
resonates today.

nearly half a day’s journey from the coast. To this isolated island, where the supply boat comes once a season, Tom brings a young, bold, and loving
wife, Isabel. Years later, after two miscarriages and one stillbirth, the grieving Isabel hears a baby’s cries on the wind. A boat has washed up onshore
carrying a dead man and a living baby. Tom, who keeps meticulous records and whose moral principles have withstood a horrific war, wants to report
the man and infant immediately. But Isabel insists the baby is a “gift from God,” and against Tom’s judgment, they claim her as their own and name
her Lucy. When she is two, Tom and Isabel return to the mainland and are reminded that there are other people in the world. Their choice has
devastated one of them.

Leoni stars as Elizabeth McCord, the shrewd, determined, newly appointed Secretary of State who drives international diplomacy, battles office
politics and circumvents protocol as she negotiates global and domestic issues, both at the White House and at home. A college professor and a
brilliant former CIA analyst who left for ethical reasons, Elizabeth returns to public life at the request of the President following the suspicious death of
her predecessor. The President values her apolitical leanings, her deep knowledge of the Middle East, her flair for languages and her ability to not
just think outside the box, but to not even acknowledge there is a box. McCord’s team includes her Chief of Staff Nadine Tolliver (Emmy Award
winner Bebe Neuwirth), speechwriter Matt Mahoney (Arend), press coordinator Daisy Grant (Miller) and her charming assistant, Blake Moran
(Bergen). As McCord debates third world problems and finesses foreign dignitaries at work, that’s just a warm-up for when she goes home to her
supportive husband Henry (Daly) and their two bright children (Herzer and Roe), where “politics” and “compromise” take on new meaning.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust
storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even
signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though,
he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him
first. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills—and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit—he steadfastly
confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?

with his choice for an assistant. Touched by his father’s offer, Ronny embarks on a completely different future – and he can be sure that his loving,
tight-knit family is going to have a very vocal opinion about it.

Miles Davis was one of the greatest visionaries and most important figures in jazz history. He was born in a well-to-do family in East St. Louis. He
became a local phenom and toured locally with Billy Eckstine's band while he was in high school. He moved to New York under the guise of attending
the Julliard School of Music. However, his real intentions were to hook up with Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. He quickly climbed up the ranks
while learning from Bird and Diz and became the trumpet player for Charlie Parker's group for nearly 3 years. His first attempt at leading a group
came in 1949 and was the first of many occurrences in which he would take jazz in a new direction. Along with arranger Gil Evans, he created a
nonet (9 members) that used non-traditional instruments in a jazz setting, such as French horn and Tuba. He invented a more subtle, yet still
challenging style that became known as "cool jazz." This style influenced a large group of musicians who played primarily on the west coast and
further explored this style. The recordings of the nonet were packaged by Capitol records and released under the name The Birth of the Cool. The
group featured Lee Konitz, Gerry Mulligan, and Max Roach, among others. This was one of the first instances in which Miles demonstrated a
recurring move that angered some: he brought in musicians regardless of race. He once said he'd give a guy with green skin and "polka-dotted
breath" a job, as long as they could play sax as well as Lee Konitz. After spending 4 years fighting a heroin addiction, he conquered it, inspired by the
discipline of the boxer Sugar Ray Robinson.

Houston, we have a problem! Dr. Mary Kendricks (Ritter) is a tough but brilliant aerospace engineer, leading a team of NASA scientists at the cutting
edge of space exploration. The only problem is, this is the 1960s and she's a woman. Navigating the ridiculous boys' club of astronauts and
engineering nerds is no easy task, but she's up to the challenge... until her boss brings on Tom (Dewey) - a former hotshot test pilot and overall man's
man - to co-manage her team. It doesn't help that he initially mistakes her for a secretary. Between him, her astronaut boyfriend Cash and her offbeat
all-guy team, Mary certainly has her hands full... but at the end of the day, they all want the same thing: to get a man on the moon. It might just take a
woman to get him there.

In the frigid pre-dawn hours, in a distressed Midwestern city, hundreds of desperate unemployed folks are lined up for a spot at a job fair. Without
warning, a lone driver plows through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes, running over the innocent, backing up, and charging again. Eight people are
killed; fifteen are wounded. The killer escapes. In another part of town, months later, a retired cop named Bill Hodges is still haunted by the unsolved
crime. When he gets a crazed letter from someone who self-identifies as the “perk” and threatens an even more diabolical attack, Hodges wakes up
from his depressed and vacant retirement, hell-bent on preventing another tragedy. Brady Hartfield lives with his alcoholic mother in the house where
he was born. He loved the feel of death under the wheels of the Mercedes, and he wants that rush again. Only Bill Hodges, with a couple of highly
unlikely allies, can apprehend the killer before he strikes again. And they have no time to lose, because Brady’s next mission, if it succeeds, will kill or

In the summer of 1916, Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood, bored by society luncheons, charity work, and the effete men who courted
them, left their families in Auburn, New York, to teach school in the wilds of northwestern Colorado. They lived with a family of homesteaders in the
Elkhead Mountains and rode to school on horseback, often in blinding blizzards. Their students walked or skied, in tattered clothes and shoes tied
together with string. The young cattle rancher who had lured them west, Ferry Carpenter, had promised them the adventure of a lifetime. He hadn’t let
on that they would be considered dazzling prospective brides for the locals. Nearly a hundred years later, Dorothy Wickenden, the granddaughter of
Dorothy Woodruff, found the teachers’ buoyant letters home, which captured the voices of the pioneer women, the children, and other unforgettable
people the women got to know. In reconstructing their journey, Wickenden has created an exhilarating saga about two intrepid women and the
“settling up” of the West.

In this "Traffic"-like action drama, an international conspiracy explodes when three strangers' lives unexpectedly collide - a female soldier, a corporate
lawyer and a political activist. After a team of American soldiers battle jihadists in North Africa, they're shocked to find that one of the men they killed
is Al Qaeda's top man. Sergeant Odelle Ballard - a soldier, mother, wife and the unit's only female member - discovers computer files that suggest a
major U.S. corporation is funding the jihadists. But before she can tell anyone, her team is attacked and left for dead. News is reported that the unit
was wiped out, but the truth is that Odelle survived and is the only witness to her unit's assassination by U.S. Special Forces. In New York, former
U.S. Attorney Peter Decker is working on a merger deal for the same company that was funneling money to the jihadists. And meanwhile, Harrison
Walters, a political activist and trust fund kid, meets a hacker who claims to have unearthed a massive military-industrial conspiracy. And he's right:
he's stumbled onto the cover-up that began with Odelle and will soon be out in the open... and everyone's lives will be in danger. The only way they'll
ever save their country, their families and themselves is by joining forces and exposing the people behind it.

baby-making. Then one night, after yet another failed attempt at conception, the two head out to a bar to let off some steam. That's where Luke
meets Prudence, a free-spirited British girl who's slated to go back to England in a matter of days. Lizzy isn't a huge fan - it might have something to
do with Prudence waltzing around their apartment naked - but Luke really hits it off with her... and next thing he knows, they're spending every last
minute of her limited time together. But just as Lizzy discovers that she's actually pregnant, Luke announces that he and Prudence got married. Tada! A different kind of family is born.

her that he can’t have kids. He doesn’t remember, but yes, it’s true, he can’t have kids. Sue’s third point is to tell him that actually he can and she is
now expecting his baby! Lee is stunned by the news, but Sue states that as both of them had said that neither of them wants children - another thing
he doesn't remember telling her - she will terminate the pregnancy in a clinic close to her next job in...Phoenix, Arizona. However, Lee feels that it’s
only right to accompany her for the procedure and so begins a 2000-mile pilgrimage to Phoenix which involves a hike into The Grand Canyon and a
trip that will change both their lives forever.

A provocative, unconventional and, at times, comic high school drama told through the eyes of a group of teenagers who meet as patients in the
pediatric ward of Ocean Park Hospital in Los Angeles. The series is part comedy, part drama, with a tone that’s unique unto itself. Twelve-year-old
narrator Charlie (Gluck) is in a coma in the hospital. Charlie’s friends and fellow patients include Jordi Palacios (Sotillo), a 16-year-old who illegally
crosses the Mexican border into California to seek out treatment at the renowned hospital. What he soon discovers is that it’s not his illness that’s
going to change his life, but his new friends. Also at the hospital is Leo Roth (Rowe). At 16, Leo is charismatic and independent. But after living at the
hospital for a year, he’s starting to lose his way. When he’s forced to room with Jordi, he’s angry and resentful, until he realizes they are more alike
than he could imagine. The pediatric ward is run by Nurse Jackson (Spencer), a caregiver with a take-no-prisoners approach to getting these kids
through the most difficult part of their lives. Overseeing much of the treatment in the ward is Dr. Jack Mcandrew (Annable), the country’s top pediatric
surgeon. Also attending to the patients is the naïve and gullible Nurse Brittany Dobler (Rittenhouse), who allows the kids to get away with things they
probably shouldn’t. Among those taking advantage of Nurse Dobler is Leo’s best friend, Dash Hosney (Bradley). Suffering from cystic fibrosis, 16year-old Dash is determined to live every day as if it’s his last. Also on the ward is 15-year-old Emma Chota (Bravo), Leo’s on-again-off-again
girlfriend, who suffers from an eating disorder. Rounding out this group of patients is “mean girl” Kara Souders (Levin), a 16-year-old cheerleader who
is brought in with heart failure and shares a room with Charlie. Daring everyone to up their game, she also goes head-to-head with Nurse Jackson.
Although many young patients who are seriously ill make complete recoveries, that day seems a long way off for these teens. And as they confront
questions of life and death which no one at that age should have to face, a kinship based on these shared experiences is created – a bond
represented by the red hospital bands issued to them upon admittance. This is the story of the Red Band Society.

1986. The superpowers of the Soviet Union and America have stockpiled so many nuclear weapons and have so little trust of one another that
mutually assured destruction seems inevitable. The infamous Domesday clock is moved to five minutes to midnight - Earth stands on the brink of
Armageddon. Halfway through his second term and determined to leave a positive legacy, US President Ronald Reagan calls for a conference with
his Russian counterpart, Mikhail Gorbachev. Having survived an assassination attempt that left him with a heightened sense of his own mortality,
Reagan is on a personal mission to end the threat of nuclear war. For Gorbachev, the explosion of the Chernobyl reactor is a tragic reminder of
what’s at stake. An iconoclast and adventurer, he wants to free ‘new Russia’ from the rigid, prescribed ways of the past. It all comes down to a
showdown in a wooden house in Reykjavik, where these two extraordinary men, pushed to the edge, have less than two days to change the course
of history.

Inspired by a true story, is a high-octane drama about eccentric genius Walter O’Brien (Gabel) and his team of brilliant misfits who comprise the last
line of defense against complex, high-tech threats of the modern age. As Homeland Security’s new think tank, O’Brien’s “Scorpion” team includes
Toby Curtis (Thomas), an expert behaviorist who can read anyone; Happy Quinn (Wong), a mechanical prodigy; and Sylvester Dodd (Stidham), a
statistics guru. Pooling their extensive technological knowledge to solve mind-boggling predicaments amazes federal agent Cabe Gallo (Robert
Patrick), who shares a harrowing history with O’Brien. However, while this socially awkward group is comfortable with each other’s humor and quirks,
life outside their circle confounds them, so they rely on Paige Dineen (McPhee), who has a young, gifted son, to translate the world for them. At last,
these nerdy masterminds have found the perfect job: a place where they can apply their exceptional brainpower to solve the nation’s crises, while
also helping each other learn how to fit in.

Roseanne McNulty, decides to undertake an autobiography and writes of an ill-fated childhood spent with her father, Joe Clear. A cemetery
superintendent, Joe is drawn into Ireland's 1922 civil war when a group of irregulars brings a slain comrade to the cemetery and are discovered by a
division of Free-Staters. Meanwhile, Roseanne's psychiatrist, Dr. Grene, investigating Roseanne's original commitment in preparation for her transfer
to a new hospital, discovers through the papers of the local parish priest, Fr. Gaunt, that Roseanne's father was actually a police sergeant in the
Royal Irish Constabulary. The mysteries multiply when Roseanne reveals that Fr. Gaunt annulled her marriage after glimpsing her in the company of
another man; Gaunt's official charge was nymphomania, and the cumulative fallout led to a string of tragedies.

A portrait of Morrissey’s early life prior to forming a legendary songwriting partnership with Johnny Marr. The Smiths, who went on to sell millions of
records worldwide, were described by the BBC as “the band that inspired deeper devotion than any British group since The Beatles”. The film covers
Morrissey’s life pre-Smiths and is more of a portrait than a conventional biopic. It’s as much a film for non-Morrissey fans as it is for die-hard
devotees, but I can’t deny that this is a love letter to Steven Patrick Morrissey and the dark satanic mills of Manchester. (Targeting late 2014 to start
principal photography in the UK.)

PRODUCER: Megan Ellison DIRECTOR: Kathryn Bigelow CAST: Tom Hardy
The story of Raisuddin Bhuiyan, a Bangladesh Air Force officer who dreams of immigrating to America and working in technology. But days after
9/11, an avowed "American terrorist" named Mark Stroman, seeking revenge, walks into the Dallas minimart where Bhuiyan has found temporary
work and shoots him, maiming and nearly killing him. Two other victims, at other gas stations, aren’t so lucky, dying at once. The True American
traces the making of these two men, Stroman and Bhuiyan, and of their fateful encounter. It follows them as they rebuild shattered lives—one striving
on Death Row to become a better man, the other to heal and pull himself up from the lowest rung on the ladder of an unfamiliar country. Ten years
after the shooting, an Islamic pilgrimage seeds in Bhuiyan a strange idea: if he is ever to be whole, he must reenter Stroman's life. He longs to
confront Stroman and speak to him face to face about the attack that changed their lives. Bhuiyan publicly forgives Stroman, in the name of his
religion and its notion of mercy. Then he wages a legal and public-relations campaign, against the State of Texas and Governor Rick Perry, to have
his attacker spared from the death penalty. Ranging from Texas's juvenile justice system to the swirling crowd of pilgrims at the Hajj in Mecca; from a
biker bar to an immigrant mosque in Dallas; from young military cadets in Bangladesh to elite paratroopers in Israel; from a wealthy household of
chicken importers in Karachi, Pakistan, to the sober residences of Brownwood, Texas, The True American is a rich, colorful, profoundly moving
exploration of the American dream in its many dimensions. Ultimately it tells a story about our love-hate relationship with immigrants, about the
encounter of Islam and the West, about how—or whether—we choose what we become.

In 1630s Amsterdam, tulip fever has seized the populace. Everywhere men are seduced by the fantastic exotic flower. But for wealthy merchant
Cornelis Sandvoort, it is his young and beautiful wife, Sophia, who stirs his soul. She is the prize he desires, the woman he hopes will bring him the
joy that not even his considerable fortune can buy. Cornelis yearns for an heir, but so far he and Sophia have failed to produce one. In a bid for
immortality, he commissions a portrait of them both by the talented young painter Jan van Loos. But as Van Loos begins to capture Sophia's likeness
on canvas, a slow passion begins to burn between the beautiful young wife and the talented artist. As the portrait unfolds, so a slow dance is begun
among the household's inhabitants. Ambitions, desires, and dreams breed a grand deception—and as the lies multiply, events move toward a thrilling
and tragic climax. Based on the novel "Tulip Fever" by Deborah Moggach.

After 15 years of living in a cult, the unbreakable and wide-eyed Kimmy (Kemper) is rescued along with three other women, causing a national
sensation that culminates with an appearance on the "Today" show. Before getting back on the bus to Indiana, however, Kimmy decides it's time to
reclaim her life. Armed with just a backpack, light-up sneakers, a couple way-past-due library books and a big wad of rescue-fund cash, she's ready
to take on New York City. It's easily the best time of Kimmy's life and she makes a spontaneous decision to rent a room from Titus, a wannabe
Broadway actor who makes a living as a robot in Times Square. Motivated to start moving forward, Kimmy gets a job as a nanny for an Upper East
Side family and it quickly becomes clear to her that money and status aren't synonymous with happiness (or even sanity). Determined to have a
romance and take advantage of everything life has to offer, Kimmy is using her optimistic spirit to finally start having all kinds of adventures in a world
she never knew existed. (March 27 - November 11)

One late-summer day, a feat of unimaginable audacity was perpetrated on the twin towers of the World Trade Center. The year was 1974. A hundred
thousand people gathered on the ground to watch in awe as twenty-four-year-old high wire artist Philippe Petit made eight crossings between the allbut-completed towers, a quarter mile above the earth, over the course of nearly an hour. Petit's achievement made headlines around the world. Yet
few who saw or heard about it realized that it was the fulfillment of a dream he had nurtured for six years, rekindling it each time it was in danger of
expiring. His accomplices were a motley crew of foreigners and Americans, who under Petit's direction had conpired, connived, labored, argued,
rehearsed, and improvised to make possible an act of unsurpassed aerial artistry. (Release Date: October 2, 2015.)

Carnton Plantation, 1894: Carrie McGavock is an old woman who tends the graves of the almost 1,500 soldiers buried there. As she walks among the
dead, an elderly man appears--the same soldier she met that fateful day long ago. Today, he asks if the cemetery has room for one more. Based on
an extraordinary true story, this brilliant, meticulously researched novel flashes back to 1864 and the afternoon of the Civil War. While the fierce
fighting rages on Carrie's land, her plantation turns into a Confederate army hospital; four generals lie dead on her back porch; the pile of amputated
limbs rises as tall as the smoke house. But when a wounded soldier named Zachariah Cashwell arrives at her house, he awakens feelings she had
thought long dead--and inspires a passion as powerful and unforgettable as the war that consumes a nation.
