Who protects the protector? US Secret Service agent Mike Banning (Butler) has spent his career keeping American presidents safe. This time, he’s
the target. If his attackers can take down half of Washington, D.C. with it, all the better. Among those at risk: President Allen Trumbull (Freeman).
Behind it all: a ruthless Russian oligarch who’s looking to avenge the death of her son. She’ll stop at nothing: a home invasion to take out Banning,
Leah and their three-year-old daughter Lynne a murderous chase through the streets of D.C. a bomb blast that incinerates Jekyll Island, the
President’s summer retreat a run for the President’s emergency doomsday bunker, Raven Rock Mountain Complex and ultimately blowing Air Force
One (code name: “Angel”) out of the sky, a first in American history. There’s only one way this will end. If Banning wants to live in peace, he’s got
no choice but to break all the rules and invade Russia. (Production start in the first half of 2017.)

lost love. Nyqvist will play Chekhov, the hardened Director of Operations at Howard’s agency and a strange mix of philosopher and spy. Boniadi will
play Clare, an enigmatic young woman of curious origin, who becomes a major linchpin as the season develops. Pinnock will play Ian Shaw, an
aggressive operative and watchdog whose job is to ensure an uneasy peace between both dimensions. Serraiocco will play Baldwin, a mysterious
assassin whose life takes on a new purpose when she is exposed to the other side.

Based on the true story of the race between Thomas Edison (Cumberbatch) and George Westinghouse (Shannon) to develop a practical system of
electricity and sell their respective inventions to the country and the world. The film will follow the events known as the “War of Currents,” which took
place in the late 1880’s between Edison, who backed his direct current for electrical distribution, and Westinghouse who promoted alternating current.
The rivalry got so intense that Edison launched a smear campaign against Westinghouse in an attempt to highlight the safety issues with alternating
current. Edison lobbied against AC in state legislatures, spread disinformation on “fatal AC accidents,” and even went so far as to publicly execute
animals through electrocution. Edison’s efforts were naught however, as alternating current prevailed as the superior and cost-effective system, yet
his demonstrations led to the invention of the electric chair and his direct current is still used in nearly all modern electronic devices today.

Bartholomew Henry "Barry" Allen (Miller) is a police scientist who has a reputation for being very slow, deliberate, and frequently late, which frustrated
his fiancée, Iris West. One night, as he was preparing to leave work, a lightning bolt shattered a case full of chemicals and spilled them all over Allen.
As a result, Allen found that he could run extremely fast and had matching reflexes. He donned a set of red tights sporting a lightning bolt
(reminiscent of the original), dubbed himself the Flash (after his childhood hero, Jay Garrick), and became a crimefighter active in Central City. In his
civilian identity, he stores the costume compressed in a special ring via the use of a special gas that could compress cloth fibers to a very small
fraction of their normal size.

Doug Olsen was oblivious to the signs his marriage was in trouble until his wife Barbara has an affair with an NFL legend that he idolizes. When
Barbara declares they need to take a “temporary break” from their marriage, Doug is thrown helplessly into the single world. When Doug meets Amy,
the hottest, most exciting girl he'd ever met which causes him to feel unleashed and inspired. The only caveat is that she's 22 years old. And Doug is
certainly not. At the same time, his wife Barbara has also thrown herself into the single world and has realized a lot has changed since the last time
she was there. She finds herself mustering up the courage to do things she never would in order to find out who she is and whether this marriage is
worth holding on to. This is a provocative, unpredictable character comedy where each character journeys to answer the age-old question…Is the
grass really greener?

January 1946: London is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who
could imagine that she would find it in a letter from a man she’s never met, a native of the island of Guernsey, who has come across her name written
inside a book by Charles Lamb. As Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters, Juliet is drawn into the world of this man and his friends—and
what a wonderfully eccentric world it is. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society—born as a spur-of-the-moment alibi when its members
were discovered breaking curfew by the Germans occupying their island—boasts a charming, funny, deeply human cast of characters, from pig
farmers to phrenologists, literature lovers all. Juliet begins a remarkable correspondence with the society’s members, learning about their island, their
taste in books, and the impact the recent German occupation has had on their lives. Captivated by their stories, she sets sail for Guernsey, and what
she finds will change her forever.

accident really, draws the attention of the most dangerous man in New York who sends the entire crooked police force after Nick. Rushing to his aid
is Happy, a small horse with wings. That's right - an imaginary, blue, unicorn-horned flying donkey that talks. He's got a mission for Nick - one that
might convince him to get his life together. (January 30 - February 16)

The many contentious and self-serving wives of country music icon Eddie Ray Banks come together after his unexpected death at his comeback
concert, to decide what to do with his legacy, which amounts to a half finished McMansion, a theater, and a lot of debt. As the women decide, with
varying degrees of enthusiasm, to put on a tribute concert featuring an Eddie Ray Banks impersonator, they're stunned by the news that Eddie Banks
did not die a natural death: he was poisoned, and most likely by one of them. Seymour will play Lorna Larson Banks, Eddie’s gorgeous, tough-asnails and force-to-be-reckoned-with first wife who parlayed her early career success as a duo with Eddie into a huge solo career that eventually
matched or even eclipsed her former husband’s. Now one of the most famous women in country music, Lorna has her own successful theater in
Branson and is slightly out of touch with reality as a result of being in the public eye for so long. She and Eddie have one daughter together, April, but
Lorna hasn’t spoken to her since April published a salacious tell-all memoir.

The dramatic account of a small band of Special Forces soldiers who secretly entered Afghanistan following 9/11 and rode to war on horses against
the Taliban. Outnumbered forty to one, they pursued the enemy across mountainous terrain and, after a series of intense battles, captured the city of
Mazar-i-Sharif, which was strategically essential if they were to defeat the Taliban. The bone-weary American soldiers were welcomed as liberators,
and overjoyed Afghans thronged the streets. Then the action took a wholly unexpected turn. During a surrender of six hundred Taliban troops, the
Horse Soldiers were ambushed. Dangerously outnumbered, they fought for their lives in the city's immense fortress, Qala-i-Janghi, or the House of
War. At risk were the military gains of the entire campaign: if the soldiers perished or were captured, the effort to defeat the Taliban might be doomed.

Mid 90s Los Angeles is a cesspit of crime, poverty, and racism. It’s also home to one of modern history’s most infamous unsolved murders: the driveby shooting of The Notorious B.I.G. which came just months after the gangland execution of his great rival Tupac Shakur. The LAPD – tasked to
bring this crumbling city to order – can only add fire to the flames as corruption eats at its core. Black cops die at the hands of their white colleagues,
LA’s finest are implicated in robberies and drug deals, and dubious officers moonlight for infamous gangsta rap label Death Row Records. The chiefs
will do anything to avoid negative publicity, even if it means turning a blind eye to the truth. Two decades on from the murder, Jackson, a less than
scrupulous journalist whose entire career is based around one award-winning and flawed investigation into the shooting, and Poole, a disgraced
former cop who just can’t let the case drop, come together as reluctant partners to navigate the web of corruption once more. LAbyrinth is the
compelling story of two broken men and their mutual hunt for the truth. As the pair delve deeper into the mire of scandal and deception, this powderkeg tale systematically unravels the reputation of the city’s law enforcement, politics and justice system, while introducing us to a new kind of hero.

Here is the astonishing true story of Ruth Harkness (Ferguson), the Manhattan bohemian socialite who, against all but impossible odds, trekked to
Tibet in 1936 to capture the most mysterious animal of the day: a bear that had for countless centuries lived in secret in the labyrinth of lonely cold
mountains. In The Lady and the Panda, Vicki Constantine Croke gives us the remarkable account of Ruth Harkness and her extraordinary journey,
and restores Harkness to her rightful place along with Sacajawea, Nellie Bly, and Amelia Earhart as one of the great woman adventurers of all time.
Ruth was the toast of 1930s New York, a dress designer newly married to a wealthy adventurer, Bill Harkness. Just weeks after their wedding,
however, Bill decamped for China in hopes of becoming the first Westerner to capture a giant panda–an expedition on which many had embarked
and failed miserably. Bill was also to fail in his quest, dying horribly alone in China and leaving his widow heartbroken and adrift. And so Ruth made
the fateful decision to adopt her husband’s dream as her own and set off on the adventure of a lifetime.

This is the true story of William Pitsenbarger, a war hero of the highest order, an Air Force medic who personally saved over 60 men, before being
killed in the bloodiest battle of the Vietnam War. 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.

In post-war Bristol, neophyte journalist Stephen Underwood is keen to prove his worth in a society where everyone is taught to know his or her place
and not to question authority. He works for a local newspaper and yearns to break a big story while his editor, Frank Hamilton, is happy to keep him
reporting on nothing more controversial than local community events. However, when Stephen stumbles across the suicide of a Polish soldier from
the local Displace Persons' camp, he disregards Hamilton's objections and follows his instincts. Stephen heads to the camp to question the
commanding officer, his estranged brother, Captain John Underwood, but John is far from happy to see him and is reluctant to answer any questions.
Stephen meets Colonel Janusz Pietrowski, formerly of the Polish Second Corps (under British command) and now a Liaison Officer for the
resettlement of Polish troops. When Stephen mentions the suicide, Pietrowski explains that many Poles had lost all hope since their homeland was
occupied by Soviet Russia and many fear for their lives but Stephen remains skeptical. Stephen is also intimately involved with Jeanette Mitchell, a
Junior Commander in the Auxiliary Territorial Service, who works under his brother at the DP camp. She is trapped in a marriage of convenience with
a homosexual military intelligence officer, Mason Mitchell. Both Stephen and Jeanette dream of escaping to London and starting a new life together
and in the course of a clandestine meeting in a local public house, Stephen witnesses a confrontation between a new arrival at the camp, Michael
Loboda, and a local farmer. During the argument Loboda inadvertently claims he is Russian and not Polish.

Set against the glamorous backdrop of Britain’s Roaring ‘20s, The Laureate tells the story of young British War Poet Robert Graves, who is married
with four children when he meets and becomes involved with Laura Riding, a beautiful writer from America studying at Oxford University. Defying the
conventions of polite society, Riding soon moves in with Graves and his wife, living as a ménage a trois. Then, with the arrival of the strappingly
handsome Irish poet Geoffrey Phibbs, the arrangement becomes a ménage a quatre. Soon, tensions and rivalries among the artistic group become
so fraught that Graves is suspected of attempted murder. Tired of the Victorian morals and British social structure that led to his war trauma, as well
as the inhibitions imposed on his writing, Graves leaves England for good and settles with Riding on the Spanish island of Mallorca. Before he leaves
England, Graves publishes his famous war memoirs “Goodbye To All That” as well as his first successful volume of poems (which critics universally
agree contains some of the finest love poetry of the 20th century). Thus, despite the deep wounds of war and being shackled by those around him,
Robert transforms himself into “A Laureate.”

academia, dunk tank clowns, relationship gurus and all of the archetypes in between. Their dynamic is upended when Charlie has a chance
encounter with Chloe, an alluring freelance photographer capable of carving up his idiosyncrasies and beliefs with razor sharp precision...and a little
help from Jerry Lewis. As the two navigate the land mines of past, present and future relationships, Chloe begins to teach Charlie that the things he

The story of a beautiful teenager called Jim who arrives in Soho from the north of England. There he befriends a coterie of male escorts known as
‘The Raconteurs’, whose unique selling point is their encyclopedic knowledge of the arts. The film follows Jim’s giddy ascent from novice to soughtafter escort and artist’s muse – a journey complicated by a rare psychosomatic condition called ‘Stendhal Syndrome’, which renders Jim painfully
oversensitive to art. Jim’s encounters with paintings by such artists as Caravaggio cause panic attacks and eventually hallucinations. While this
condition opens up new opportunities, it also, when Jim encounters the seedy world of art forgery, threatens to bring about his downfall.

The story follows Laurel & Hardy as they set out on a variety hall tour of Britain in 1953. Diminished by age and with their golden era as the kings of
Hollywood comedy now behind them, they face an uncertain future. As they set out, crisscrossing the country, attendances are disappointingly low.
But they’ve always been able to make each other laugh and as the charm and beauty of their performances shines through their audiences laugh too,
and they re-connect with legions of adoring fans. The tour becomes a hit, but Laurel & Hardy can’t quite shake the spectre of their own past. Longburied ghosts, coupled with Oliver’s failing health, start to threaten their precious partnership. A portrait of the most tender and poignant of creative
marriages begins to unfold as the duo, aware that they may be approaching their swan song, try to rediscover just how much they mean to each
other.

Alan is in the lounge of a B&B in the Peak District. There’s a tottering pile of board games in the corner. The ‘Stranger’ is a middle aged man called
Arthur who is there with his wife Margaret. Alan catches the scent of weakness and insecurity in Arthur’s jovial pedantry. Within moments he has
manipulated his fellow guests into playing – and betting money – on a game of Scrabble. Alan gives the impression he barely knows how to play the
game and hasn’t played it for years. Poor Arthur has been hustled. And they’re not just playing for money; as far as Alan and his superstitious beliefs
are concerned, they are playing for their sons’ lives.

An ensemble romantic comedy revolving around a police officer who finds out that her late police chief husband was corrupt to the bone, a discovery
that unleashes a farcical chain of events. Haenel co-stars as Yvonne, a police officer on French Riviera who discovers her dead husband Santi led a
double life after a criminal she is interrogating recognizes her wedding ring as the loot from a jewelry heist he helped stage. The discovery sends her
life into a tail-spin. Her late husband was hailed as a hero by his colleagues and their young son after he died in the line of duty. She grapples with
whether she should come clean about her husband’s true persona. Close colleague Louis advises her to keep quiet. Alongside Yvonne’s dilemma,
Marmaï plays the innocent Antoine who has recently been released from jail after spending eight years behind bars due to Santi’s corruption.
Although supported by a loving wife, played by Tautou, he is struggling to adjust back into life and swallow the injustice of what happened to him.
Yvonne’s attempts to help Antoine soon get her into hot water.

Kit has no idea what she wants to do with her life so she gets a job at a lame PR firm to kill time while she figures things out. Kit has always been a
weirdo. She’s never had a boyfriend, never even been out on a date. I mean, she spends the majority of her time talking to her stuffed bears. Then
Kit gets a special glitter-coated invite to a secret store. Curious, she goes there and meets The Salesman, a goofy guy who’s very serious about one
thing: Unicorns. It turns out, according to The Salesman, that they’re getting a new unicorn in and that Kit has been chosen to receive said unicorn
should she meet the basic requirements of unicorn ownage. Thrilled, Kit starts building a stable for her unicorn in her parents’ back yard, but realizes
she needs help. She hires a guy with a dorky name (Virgil) on Craig’s List in hopes that he’ll be a nerd and therefore won’t judge her. But Virgil turns
out to be a total stud, throwing Kit’s confused never-had-a-man-before’s hormones into overdrive. Of course, she knows that Virgil would never go for
a girl like her, so focuses on friendship instead. Kit decides to tell Virgil that she’s getting a pony to avoid judgment, but it doesn’t take long for Virgil to
sense he’s not getting the whole story. He finally demands to know what’s going on, and Kit believes the best course of action is to show him. So she
takes him to the Unicorn Store only for there to not be a Unicorn Store. Just an empty warehouse. Kit must confront the reality that she’s so messed
up, she imagined the whole thing, and now she’s going to lose her best friend over it. But maybe, just maybe, there’s still hope for a unicorn arrival
yet. (October 31 – December 9)

collaborating on a zombie script with the very bankable Raffy. They get together on Halloween night at Raffy's house in the Hollywood Hills, planning
to get the script finished by pulling an all-nighter. Then things start getting out of control. They accidentally kill Raffy's neighbor (who is a huge

Dell (Hart) is a middle aged black man struggling to pay his rent in New York City. He has a chance meeting with a quadriplegic man named Phillip
(Cranston) and his assistant, Yvonne. Phillip takes a liking to him, and insists that Yvonne call him to interview for a job as his new driver and primary
caregiver. Yvonne is shocked, but does as she is told. Dell shows up for the interview with a very poor resume, and is clearly the least qualified of all
candidates, but manages to land the job after being selected by Phillip based on gut instinct. Phillip lives in a Park Avenue penthouse, his fabulous
wealth a far cry from Dell's underprivileged background. Dell gleefully moves in with Phillip, especially enamored with his garage full of luxury cars.
Phillip and Dell quickly develop a powerful friendship. Dell brings a missing element of fun and free spirit into Phillip's life, and Phillip introduces Dell
to high art such as painting and the opera. After initial resistance, Dell embraces these arts, and begins painting on his own. He finds out that Phillip
has been exchanging love letters with a mysterious woman named Lily, who he has never met in person. Dell forces Phillip to call her and leave a
voicemail, but she does not respond. Dell begins to notice that Yvonne might have an attraction to Phillip. (January 16 - March 17)
