When the wife’s lover turns up dead, things become more twisted than Taggart could have ever predicted. As he begins to question Hostetler’s motives, Taggart is courted by both the mayor’s wife and his old police chief to turn the focus of his investigation on the Mayor.

Based on a controversial non fiction novel, "The Killer Elite" is an action adventure spy film that follows the story of Danny (Jason Statham), one of the world's top "freelance" agents, who is lured out of his self imposed exile to attempt an almost impossible feat of retribution and personal salvation. Reassembling his old team of operatives, including his mentor (Robert DeNiro), Danny must penetrate one of the most feared and respected military units ever assembled, the SAS, to try to destroy a rogue cell of solider/assassins before their actions can create a global political meltdown. He also must face off against Spike (Clive Owen), the senior field operative of the Feather Men, a covert group of elite ex-SAS soldiers who provide an added, deadly cloak of security around all SAS members.
The Killer Elite's whirlwind journey of action covers the globe from Australia to Paris, Wales, London, Dubai and Oman and is based on Sir Ranulph Fiennes' non-fiction novel "The Feather Men." |

| THE
KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT |
| |
| Logline: |
A sexy, funny story with broad emotional appeal about the “Allgoods”, a modern family dealing with all the usual domestic stresses and then some. The parents have been together long enough to experience the typical ups and downs: 18-year old daughter Joni is heading off to Stanford University and starting to distance herself from her parents; 14-year-old Laser is hanging out with a deadbeat friend who constantly leads him into trouble. This loving but strained home life is thrown into comic disarray when the kids track down their biological (sperm) donor-Dad, Paul, and invite him home for dinner. Paul is a bachelor whose sudden longing for a family introduces an interesting sexual dynamic to the not-quite-ordinary equation of the Allgoods: a “Mrs. and Mrs.” two- mother family… |

| WHAT’S
WRONG WITH VIRGINIA |
| |
| Logline: |
Written and directed by Academy Award-winner Dustin Lance Black (“Milk”), “What’s Wrong With Virginia” stars Academy Award-winner Jennifer Connelly as Virginia, a charming, yet mentally ill mother whose greatest love is her protector and illegitimate son, Emmett (Harrison Gilbertson). But her longest love belongs to the local-married-Mormon Sheriff, Richard Tipton (Ed Harris), who is running for public office and might very well be Emmett’s father. This boardwalk town’s well-kept secrets are threatened when Virginia’s son begins a romantic relationship with Tipton’s daughter (Emma Roberts). “What’s Wrong With Virginia” is a humorous, heartfelt drama that pokes at the American dream as it charges toward a climactic shoot out that begs the question: can a woman like Virginia ever play the part of mom? |
