An injury inflicted to his vocal cords during a failed mission six years ago left him mute, forcing him to leave his profession. Now, six years later, he is sought out and put on confidential assignment by a former Yakuza, now a retired Japanese businessman in exile in France, to track down and kill the head of the most dangerous Yakuza family in Japan. Afraid of flying, our spy anonymously boards a cargo ship headed for Tokyo. An onboard explosion sinks the ship and our spy finds himself washed ashore on a life raft in southern Japan. As a mute, our spy must silently journey through Japan seeking 4 clues – symbolizing conquest, war, famine, and death – which will guide him to the unknown location of the Yakuza boss. Meanwhile, the Yakuza boss, known for his 2004 mass slaughter of Yakuza members who had turned against him, is believed to be plotting to reenter the Japanese underworld after living in his own surreptitious world in the mountains, void of all technology. This way of life becomes an obsession for the Yakuza boss. Rumors spread that he had committed suicide years ago but escaped prisoners from his hidden camp told stories of his plan for a comeback. Now rival Yakuza families suspect he is forming a master plan to return, a plan that unburies the most infamous story of Yakuza betrayal.

Pico Blvd., Bldg. 12 Los Angeles, CA 90035 310-369-8300 [email protected] “Beautiful Boy” refers to the song John Lennon wrote for his son Sean in 1980. David Sheff (Carell) was inspired to have his own family after conducting the last major interview with Lennon before he was assassinated in New York in 1980. What had happened to my beautiful boy? To our family? What did I do wrong? Those are the wrenching questions that haunted every moment of David Sheff’s journey through his son Nic’s addiction to drugs and tentative steps toward recovery. Before Nic Sheff became addicted to crystal meth, he was a charming boy, joyous and funny, a varsity athlete and honor student adored by his two younger siblings. After meth, he was a trembling wraith who lied, stole, and lived on the streets. David Sheff traces the first subtle warning signs: the denial, the 3 A.M. phone calls (is it Nic? the police? the hospital?), the rehabs. His preoccupation with Nic became an addiction in itself, and the obsessive worry and stress took a tremendous toll. But as a journalist, he instinctively researched every avenue of treatment that might save his son and refused to give up on Nic.

By 1991, her market has dried up, her lover has long since left her, her rent is overdue and her cat gets sick. She is on a downward spiral emotionally and economically as her caustic, abrasively witty but borderline-hateful personality has alienated everyone who might help her or hire her. Inadvertently, Lee discovers that she has a hidden talent: creating and forging personal letters from long-dead writers and celebrities like Noel Coward and Louise Brooks, and her under-the-table income generates a sudden upswing in her precarious personal and financial life. However, when she makes a careless mistake which alerts dealers to the questionable authenticity of her work, her house of cards begins to crumble.

She might have survived the mysterious disease that's killed most of America's children, but she and the others have emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they cannot control. Now sixteen, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones. When the truth comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. Now she's on the run, desperate to find the one safe haven left for kids like her-East River. She joins a group of kids who escaped their own camp. Liam, their brave leader, is falling hard for Ruby. But no matter how much she aches for him, Ruby can't risk getting close. Not after what happened to her parents. When they arrive at East River, nothing is as it seems, least of all its mysterious leader.

His new boss at The Guild of Assassins is all about quotas and Leslie’s been reduced to searching suicide hotspots for potential clients to help him meet targets. It’s a last-ditch attempt to delay his enforced retirement for another year. Following a chance encounter on a bridge, William realizes he could use some professional help. With so many attempts and zero success, it’s obvious an experienced cold-blooded killer is exactly what William needs. After browsing through Leslie’s brochure “Your Death...Your Way” William settles on “quick and painless”. It’s not exactly the hero’s death he’d always dreamt of but it’s all he can afford. With the contract signed, and the promise from Leslie of “no garrotting”, William waits for the inevitable. But with death assured within a week (or his money back), William for the first time in his life feels a weight lift. However, a contract is a contract as far as Leslie is concerned and William isn’t going to get out of it that easily. “THE DEEP MAD DARK” Pilot / TNT 12-15-16 !

Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his longing for his mother, he clings to the one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art. As an adult, Theo moves silkily between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love--and at the center of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle.

Third St, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 310-867-8000 [email protected] Set in the present day, the series follows the trials and tribulations of dealing with the social order in high school. A new set of popular-yet-evil Heathers emerges -- only this time the outcasts have become high school royalty. The series centers on the modern day drama at Westerburg High School, where a new social order has taken hold. Like the film, the pilot features a set of uber popular Heathers, only this time, the outcasts have become the royalty. Heather McNamara is a black lesbian -- Heather Duke is a male who identifies as gender-queer whose real name is Heath -- and the leader, Heather Chandler has a body like Martha Dumptruck only she's fabulous, tattooed, has red hair and has 245k Instagram followers. Veronica Sawyer (Cox) is the fourth popular girl in the Heathers' clique, but she's a relatively good person and is getting very tired of doing Heather Chandler's bidding. Veronica used to be best friends with nerdy Asian girl Betty Finn, who now hates all the Heathers but plays fake nice. In the cafeteria, Heather Chandler publicly shames a jock named Ram for wearing a sports jersey with a cartoon Native American on it. She forces Ram to take off the shirt, but not before snapping a picture. Veronica meets a hot guy, JD, who recently transferred to their school and they hit it off. Later, Veronica and Heather Duke witness Heather McNamara making out with a male teacher, meaning she's not really a lesbian and is only pretending so she can be seen as interesting. Heather Duke snaps a pic. Veronica and Heather Chandler go to an art college for a gallery showing when Veronica realizes that Heather posted the photo of Ram wearing the jersey, which will probably ruin his life. Veronica is goaded into fat-shaming Heather, who promises to destroy Veronica too. That night, JD shows up at Veronica's house with a plan for revenge. They go to Heather Chandler's house with Nazi paraphernalia and vomit pills so they can post an incriminating photo of Heather Chandler. They break into her house and trick Heather into taking the pill, but Heather appears to be dead after she takes it. JD realizes he had the wrong pills. JD convinces Veronica that they can make this look like a suicide video and they post the video from Heather Chandler's account.

Given the chance to escape on the last helicopter out of the battlefield, Pitsenbarger remained to save and defend all those soldiers who were left, but was eventually killed by an enemy bullet, sacrificing his own life for his comrades. For his heroic deeds, Pitsenbarger was awarded the highest military honor a soldier could get, the Congressional Medal of Honor. This medal is awarded for personal acts of valor, above and beyond, the call of duty. But before Pitsenbarger was given the medal, it was taken away from him for unknown, but seemingly political reasons. The Last Full Measure is the touching story of Pitsenbarger’s father who together with all survivors of the Vietnam battle petitioned the government to give this fallen war hero the medal he so well deserved. Investigator Scott Huffman is assigned to the case to investigate the reason for this grave injustice. During his research, Scott begins to discover the private and political reasons why certain corrupt politicians denied Pitsenbarger’s medal. Scott personally visits a number of the survivors of that terrible battle, all of whom unite for a march on Washington to give back to William Pitsenbarger the honor that has been so ingloriously taken from him. Driven by their conviction, Huffman and Pitsenbarger’s friends and family reclaim his well deserved award in an emotional outpouring that honored this truly great man. To this day, he remains only of 1 of 2 enlisted airmen to ever receive such an honor. “THE LAST MISSION” Feature Film 11-10-16 !

But not everyone makes the money they need and not everyone can find a place to live. Wal-Mart's parking lot is now a trailer park for the new arrivals and those unable to afford the swollen rent. The infrastructure is crumbling, the crime rate is rising, and men outnumber women 1.6 to 1. North Dakota's oil is shifting the world's oil map but the people in this town are still falling through the cracks. Ollie is one such resident struggling to cobble together a meaningful existence. Two years ago, in a desperate attempt to take care of her ailing mother, she began crossing into Canada for affordable medication. Now, in the wake of her mother's death, she has become a shepherd for the other sick residents of Little Woods. After being caught one too many times, the very real prospect of prison forces Ollie to reconsider whether she is paying too high a price for the good she is trying to provide to her town. Settling her affairs, however, means reconnecting with her foster sister, Deb, from whom she has been estranged for the last four years. A young single mother living in a trailer in the Wal-Mart parking lot, Deb is trying to go back to school and make a better life for her son. Her plans are driven off-course by a pregnancy test showing a result that is the last thing Deb can afford. The lack of support in town and the limited options from the state leave her with no choices and a short timeline. There is only one person who can help.

TELEVISION 4000 Warner Blvd. Burbank, CA 91522-0001 818-954-6000 [email protected] It’s 2011, and Samuel Andresen-Anderson—college professor, stalled writer—has a Nix of his own: his mother, Faye. He hasn’t seen her in decades, not since she abandoned the family when he was a boy. Now she’s re-appeared, having committed an absurd crime that electrifies the nightly news, beguiles the internet, and inflames a politically divided country. The media paints Faye as a radical hippie with a sordid past, but as far as Samuel knows, his mother was an ordinary girl who married her high-school sweetheart. Which version of his mother is true? Two facts are certain: she’s facing some serious charges, and she needs Samuel’s help. To save her, Samuel will have to embark on his own journey, uncovering long-buried secrets about the woman he thought he knew, secrets that stretch across generations and have their origin all the way back in Norway, home of the mysterious Nix. As he does so, Samuel will confront not only Faye’s losses but also his own lost love, and will relearn everything he thought he knew about his mother, and himself. From the suburban Midwest to New York City to the 1968 riots that rocked Chicago and beyond, The Nix explores— with sharp humor and a fierce tenderness—the resilience of love and home, even in times of radical change. “NOSFERATU” Feature Film 01-29-15 !

Equal parts family history, dynastic saga and satirical examination of the corrosive power of money, Trust is a story that attempts to unlock the mystery at the heart of every family, rich or poor. The first installment takes place in 1973, when the young Getty is kidnapped in Rome and his mafia captors are banking on a multi-million dollar ransom. After all, what rich family wouldn’t pay for the return of a loved one? Trust charts the young man’s nightmare ordeal at the hands of kidnappers who cannot understand why nobody seems to want their captive back. The Italian police think it’s a prank and decline to investigate. Paul’s father is lost in a heroin daze in London and refuses to answer the phone. Paul’s grandfather - possibly the richest man in the world - is marooned in a Tudor mansion in the English countryside surrounded by five mistresses and a pet lion. He’s busy. Only Paul’s mother is left to negotiate with increasingly desperate kidnappers. Problem is, she’s broke.
