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. “12 MONKEYS” Series / Syfy 04-17-14 !

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?

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.

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. “ASCENSION” Miniseries / Syfy 05-08-14 !

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. “ASHBY” Feature Film LANGLEY PARK PICTURES 4000 Warner Blvd., Building 144, Burbank, CA 91522 [email protected] PHONE: 818-954-2930 STATUS: June 16 LOCATION: North Carolina PRODUCER: Kevin McCormick WRITER/DIRECTOR: Tony McNamara CAST: Mickey Rourke - Nat Wolff - Emma Roberts - Sarah Silverman BANKSIDE FILMS Douglas House 3 Richmond Buildings, Fourth Floor London, United Kingdom, W1D 3HE 442077343566 “AVA'S POSSESSIONS” Feature Film TRACTION MEDIA 9665 Wilshire Boulevard Suite 500, Beverly Hills, CA 90212 [email protected] PHONE: 310-385-0770 FAX: 310-385-0771 STATUS: Summer 2014 LOCATION: New York PRODUCER: Maren Olson - Carlos Velazquez WRITER/DIRECTOR: Jordan Galland CAST: Louisa Krause - Cathy Moriarty - Lou Taylor Pucci - Whitney Able - Annabelle Dexter-Jones - John Ventimiglia - Waris Ahluwalia - Jemima Kirke - Stella Schnabel - Geneva Carr - Alysia Reiner - Tarik Lowe C PLUS PICTURES [email protected] Production Weekly - Issue 898 - Thursday, May 15, 2014 [email protected] Page 4 © copyright production weekly 2014 http://www.productionweekly.com “BACKSTROM” Series / FOX 05-08-14 !

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.

Det. Russ Agnew (Winters), a good 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?

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.

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. “THE BRINGING” Feature Film MATT TOLMACH PRODUCTIONS / FIRST BORN FILMS 10202 West Washington Boulevard Stage 6, 7th Floor, Culver City, CA 90232 PHONE: 310-244-7298 FAX: 310-244-2626 STATUS: Development PRODUCER: Matt Tolmach - Daniela Cretu DIRECTOR: Nicolas Winding Refn WRITER: Brandon Murphy - Phillip Murphy SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT 10202 W.

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 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.

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.

Pico Blvd., Bldg. 103 Los Angeles, CA 90035 310-369-1000 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. “ESCAPE OF THE LIVING DEAD” Feature Film SENSATION DAWN PRODUCTIONS STATUS: September 2014 LOCATION: Alaska PRODUCER: David Ball WRITER: John Russo The zombie plague has resurfaced, potentially caused by ongoing zombie research at a nearby medical facility. “THE EXORCISM OF MOLLY HARTLEY” Feature Film CAPITAL ARTS ENTERTAINMENT 17941 Ventura Boulevard Suite 205, Encino, CA 91316 [email protected] PHONE: 818-343-8950 FAX: 818-343-8962 STATUS: July 1 LOCATION: Winnipeg PRODUCER: Mike Elliott - Justin Bursch - Greg Holstein DIRECTOR: Steven R.

Pico Blvd., Bldg. 103 Los Angeles, CA 90035 310-369-1000 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. “LAST TRAIN TO MEMPHIS” Feature Film 05-08-14 !

Pico Blvd., Building 78, Room 112, Los Angeles, CA 90035 310-369-2000 Fax 310-369-4258 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. “THE LAST WITCH HUNTER” Feature Film 04-03-14 !

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. “LIBERTY'S SECRET” Feature Film E PLURIBUS PRODUCTIONS, LLC 1529 Broadway St. Ann Arbor, MI 48105 [email protected] PHONE: 734-945-8418 STATUS: July 2014 LOCATION: Ann Arbor, MI WRITER/DIRECTOR: Andy Kirshner Liberty Smith is the perfect running mate: the Evangelicals love her, she’s American as apple pie, her hair smells terrific, and she sings like an angel.

At a track meet, he cuddles in the high jump pit with his girlfriend, Ellie and they discuss their future. On the ride home, the Carton bus slides off a rain-slicked bridge into a river, and Kevin is the team’s sole survivor. Kevin’s life crumbles.

Henny Finch (Robb), editor of the school newspaper, falls for him, but Kevin remains distant. Kevin discovers running channels his pain and he becomes a world-beater. Yet in his grief, Kevin still refuses to let anyone—especially Henny—into his world. The death of another dear friend pushes Kevin to the breaking point. He redoubles his training with a new goal — the four-minute mile. But which will he shatter first, the time or his own heart? “THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS” Feature Film 09-05-13 !

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.

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.

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. “NOW YOU SEE ME 2” Feature Film 02-13-14 !

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.

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. “RED SQUAD” Feature Film 05-01-14 !

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. “RIDE ALONG 2” Feature Film 05-08-14 !

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.

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.

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.

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. “A WIFE'S NIGHTMARE” Telefilm / Lifetime SEPIA FILMS 1316 Grant Street, Vancouver, BC V5L 2X5 [email protected] PHONE: 604-215-7484 FAX: 604-215-0030 STATUS: June 16 LOCATION: British Columbia PRODUCER: Tina Pehme - Kim Roberts - Larry Gershman - Meyer Shwarzstein DIRECTOR: Vic Sarin WRITER: Dan Trotta WORLD INTERNATIONAL NETWORK 1306 S Spaulding Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90019 323-549-9797 FAX: 323-549-9711 BRAINSTORM MEDIA 280 S.
