Exclusive: Aaron Holliday (Cocaine Bear), Jermaine Fowler (Sorry to Bother You), Michael Abbott Jr. (Fallout) and Sean Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) have wrapped on Appofeniacs, an indie horror film from writer-director Chris Marrs Piliero.

Appofeniacs is a riff on the term “apophenia” which is the tendency to find connections or patterns in things that are unrelated or random — common examples being confirmation bias and paranoia. This marks the feature debut for Piliero, who is known for his music video work with Ariana Grande, Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Kesha, and The Black Keys (for which he won an MTV VMA).

Piliero independently financed and produced the film, which also stars Will Brandt, Paige Searcy, Simran Jehani, Harley Bronwyn, and Sean Wing. Gunn exec produced the pic, with Salvatore Schiavone and Jonathan Voluck handling casting.

Previously seen in Universal’s horror comedy Cocaine Bear, Holliday has also been seen on HBO’s Euphoria and Sharp Objects.

"Fired on Mars" is a hilarious adult animated series that brilliantly spoofs office culture and workplace dilemmas on the red planet.

Max has released the first official trailer for Fired on Mars, a workplace comedy series which tells the story of Jeff Cooper, a man who finds himself adrift after taking a one-way trip to the Red Planet only to have his bosses unceremoniously eliminate his role.

The eight-episode series will also feature Pamela Adlon, Thomas Haden Church, Tim Heidecker, Frankie Quinones, Emily Watson, and Sean Wing in guest-starring roles.

Darryl Stephens finds himself in bed with Sean Wing in A Family Thing.

Darryl Stephens isn't resting on his laurels as we collectively wait to see if his series Dtla returns to Logo. Instead, he dove headfirst into a juicy part on the Los Angeles stage in the new play A Family Thing.

Presented by the Echo Theater Company, the play, by out playwright Gary Lennon (who also has extensive credits in film and TV) looks at a family of three estranged brothers – one a felon, one an addict and the other a writer (who happens to be gay) and what happens when they come back together. With much humor to balance out some of the play’s heavier moments, the focus is on the idea that family is the thing that brings us together as well as what tears us apart. Hopefully the production will also convince people that...

A fun filled weekend turns into a nightmare of terror for a group of high school graduates after they are picked off one by one by a malevolent force who then erases their memory of the deceased person ever existing.

Another high concept horror film that never fully lives up to the potential of the material. Forget Me Not never fully realizes using this idea of people forgetting about one another after being mysteriously killed. It never gets into the mindset of one of the characters who realizes what's going on, yet can't figure out a way to stop it or to get her friends to remember the other people who have been killed off. Forget Me Not never captures the tension,...

Court will soon be adjourned for ABC's new legal drama. The Whole Truth has been cancelled.

Airing on Wednesday nights, The Whole Truth stars TV veterans Rob Morrow and Maura Tierney. He plays a powerful defense attorney who was raised on the wrong side of the tracks. Tierney is on the opposite side as a Senior Trial Assistant District Attorney whose father was a sheriff. Viewers are shown how each side builds their case, using their own version of "the truth." The rest of the cast includes Eamonn Walker, Sean Wing, Anthony Ruivivar, and Christine Adams.

For whatever reason, most viewers haven't been willing to even give the series a try. The legal drama got off to a very poor start right out of the gate. Whole Truth debuted on September 22th to a poor 1. 5 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.85...

Last May, Rob Morrow said goodbye to Numb3rs, a CBS TV show he'd co-starred on for six seasons. Now, he's back in a new legal drama on ABC. Will this one last as long or will it be quickly cancelled?

In The Whole Truth, Morrow plays a powerful defense attorney who was raised on the wrong side of the tracks. Maura Tierney is on the opposite side as a Senior Trial Assistant District Attorney whose father was a sheriff. Viewers are shown how each side builds their case, using their own version of "the truth." The rest of the cast includes Eamonn Walker, Sean Wing, Anthony Ruivivar, and Christine Adams.

With on-screen talent like this, last night's premiere could be described as a crime. The Whole Truth only mustered a pitiful 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic and just 4.89 million viewers. It came...

Pretty faces were packed in the El Capitan Theater on Wednesday, September 22. That night, the likes of Kristen Bell, Odette Yustman, Sigourney Weaver and Jamie Lee Curtis attended the Los Angeles premiere of "You Again".

Looking fresh in a white and yellow dress, Bell was sandwiched between her on-screen high school arch nemesis, Yustman, and Weaver when posing for cameras. The "Avatar" actress and Curtis, who portray old rivals in the film, also bonded at the red carpet event. Not only posing together, they even wore similar gowns.

Included in the all-star female cast, Betty White, Christine Lakin and Meagan Holder also took part at the special screening. Additionally, actors Victor Garber, Billy Unger, Patrick Duffy and Sean Wing as well as director Andy Fickman supported the event.

"You Again" centers its story on Marni, successful PR pro who learns that her brother is going to marry her high school rival Joanna.

Chicago – Every year, there’s a program or two for which it is strikingly easy to recognize exactly what people will love about it and what many will equally hate about it. Said programs are usually the product of creators with strong and identifiable styles and Jerry Bruckheimer is certainly one of those. Even casual fans would recognize his slick approach to the medium and your tolerance for that is going to determine your judgment on ABC’s “The Whole Truth,” a program that works for me but might not work for you.

Television Rating: 3.5/5.0

Kathryn Peale (Maura Tierney) is the deeply-intellectual and tough Deputy Bureau Chief in the Manhattn District Attorney’s office. A friend of Kathryn’s for years, Jimmy Brogan (Rob Morrow) is the toughest New York criminal defense attorney.

ABC reveals their full 2010-2011 primetime schedule Stephen McPherson, president, ABC Entertainment Group, will outline ABC's plans for next season and unveil the network's 2010-11 fall schedule before the advertising and media communities this afternoon at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall.

Saturday Night College Football also returns.

"Our passion for great storytelling is at the core of everything we do," said McPherson. "Finding and supporting writers, directors, producers and actors who share that passion is critical to our success.

The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the third announced today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on ABC.

The Alphabet solidly finished this past season with five of the top fifteen highest-rated TV series in the key Adults 18-49 demographic - "Grey's Anatomy," "Lost," "Desperate Housewives," "Dancing with the Stars" and "The Bachelor". Yet there's an obvious concern that the network has been floundering a bit when it comes to new shows - especially in terms of scripted drama which has been its greatest strength in modern times.

ABC had success launching four comedies last year, with both "Cougar Town" and "Modern Family" becoming ratings hits and the latter drawing critical acclaim. "Hank" outright flopped, but "The Middle" did well enough to get renewed. With reality shows it continues to do strong business...

What you see may not be what you get with ABC's new legal drama "The Whole Truth."

That's not because of any inherent sneakiness within the show -- although it is a courtroom drama, so it's reasonable to expect some twists and turns in its cases. But after the pilot was shot and ABC decided to pick it up for fall, star Joely Richardson ("Nip/Tuck") decided to drop out of the show so she could spend more time with her family.

The network will be recasting Richardson's part, a prosecutor who frequently squares off with her former law-school classmate (Rob Morrow), who's now a defense lawyer.

The hook for "The Whole Truth," which was created by Tom Donaghy ("Without a Trace") is that it will show both the prosecution and defense preparing and presenting its case, with the goal of keeping the audience guessing about who's on the right side.

Chicago – ABC continues to look for another “Lost” or “Modern Family” this fall with seven new shows announced today at their 2010 upfronts presentation. The network will see changes on four nights of the week but will bring back the sometimes on-the-bubble “Castle” in its Monday night timeslot while saying goodbye to “FlashForward,’ “Scrubs,” and “Better Off Ted”.

Stephen McPherson, president, ABC Entertainment Group, said this morning via press release, “Our passion for great storytelling is at the core of everything we do. Finding and supporting writers, directors, producers and actors who share that passion is critical to our success. Our shows are the product of these collaborations, and we are thrilled to add 10 new series to our schedule next year.” (Seven will premiere in the fall with three more reserved for midseason.)

ABC returns sixteen programs from the 2009-2010 season including “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” “The Bachelor,” “Brothers & Sisters,...

ABC officially released their fall schedule this morning, with new programming on most nights. Mondays will stick with the Dancing With the Stars/Castle combo. New dramas No Ordinary Family and Detroit 1-8-7 will bookend the Dancing results show on Tuesdays. The Wednesday night comedy block remains mostly intact save for new laffer Better Together at 8:30, followed by legal procedural The Whole Truth. The buzzed-about hourlong My Generation will lead off Thursday nights, followed by the familiar pair of Shonda Rhimes medical soaps, Private Practice and Grey’s Anatomy. Two new shows unveil on Friday, with the unscripted Secret Millionaire at 8:00 and scripted medical/crime drama Body of Proof at 9:00. Meanwhile, stability is the word on the weekends, with three hours of football on Saturday and not a minute of ABC’s female-friendly Sunday lineup altered from last season.
