Dead Sound, directed by Tony Glazer (Junction) tells the story of four best friends who decide to attend a massive blow-out high school graduation party on Block Island. After missing the last ferry they decide to hire a fishing boat to take them on what should be a simple journey. What they get is the trip from hell, with a captain and his first mate that have no intention of taking the kids to Block Island, putting them into a fight to survive and to simply make it back to land… any land.

It would seem, given the recent release of Harpoon, Blood Vessel, the Gary Oldman-starrer Mary, and now Dead Sound, that horror set...

Keanu Reeves and director Mark Mann talk Generation Um..., in theaters this Friday

Generation Um..., now available on VOD, opens in select theaters this Friday, May 3rd. If you haven't heard of the film, you may still be very familiar with one of the scenes in it. Paparazzi spotted star Keanu Reeves on the set, sitting on a bench, alone, eating a cupcake. And the following photographs helped push the 'Sad Keanu' meme into the stratosphere. Taken out of context, those cupcake pictures certainly took on a life of their own.

The scene is still included in Generation Um..., though it's pre-screen history may be a little distracting. Keanu plays John, the driver of two private escorts, and it might as well be called 'Sad Keanu: The Movie' as we watch the actor eat alone at various locations throughout New York City. The story revolves around the act of stealing a camera,...

Bojana Novakovic upsets a wine store clerk in our exclusive clip for Generation Um..., which stars the actress as Violet, a call girl readying herself for another night of work. Keanu Reeves takes the lead as John in this generational drama with comedic overtones, playing the driver of Bojana Novakovic's Violet and her co-worker and best friend Mia (Adelaide Clemens). What should be another routine night of servicing men for money soon turns into an introspective look at life after John steals a video camera as a birthday present to himself, and uses it to document the events leading up to another in a long line of meaningless bachelor parties. Watch as Violet snubs an old friend in her dazed attempt to stay numb throughout her afternoon with John and his camera.

Premium Rush Trailer. David Koepp‘s Premium Rush (2012) movie trailer stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Shannon, Jamie Chung, Dania Ramirez, and Aasif Mandvi. Premium Rush‘s plot synopsis: “Dodging speeding cars, crazed cabbies, open doors, and eight million cranky pedestrians is all in a day’s work for Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), the best of New York’s agile and aggressive bicycle messengers. It takes a special breed to ride the fixie — super lightweight, single-gear bikes with no brakes and riders who are equal part skilled cyclists and suicidal nutcases who risk becoming a smear on the pavement every time they head into traffic.

But a guy who’s used to putting his life on the line is about to get more than even he is used to when a routine delivery turns into a life or death chase through the streets of Manhattan. When Wilee picks up his last envelope of...

It’s no secret we love TV. We watch it, talk about it, review it and generally spend a lot of time with it. So, it should come as no surprise we’re very interested in what new shows may potentially be coming to the networks in the near future.

Fortunately, we don’t have to do a lot of work to find out, and you have to do even less, because the guys and gals at EW have gathered together lists of all of the 2010-2011 season pilot orders for ABC, CBS and NBC. Wasn’t that nice of them? Yes, yes it was.

Just between these three networks (we’ll bring you Fox and the others, including cable, later), 31 dramas and 29 comedies are being considered. What shows will make it to the Fall schedule is still anyone’s guess, and we’ll have to wait until May to find out,...

CBS may have created two of the most popular new series this season - NCIS: La and The Good Wife - but the network still has some bare spots to contend with (we hardly knew ye, Three Rivers!) Not one to stray from its bread and butter shows, the network's got a Criminal Minds spinoff in the works plus a new project from CSI honcho Carol Mendelsohn, but all eyes are on its redux of Hawaii Five-o starring Lost's Daniel Dae Kim. And don't think CBS is resting on its laurels with the (unfathomable) success of Gary, Unmarried...

Freddy Rodriguez has been tapped as the lead on CBS' Brett Ratner-directed drama pilot "Chaos," and "Numbers" star David Krumholtz is set as the lead on Ron Howard's untitled IRS comedy pilot for Fox.

Elsewhere, David Strathairn has landed a lead role in ABC's drama pilot "Matadors" and Cole Hauser has been tapped to co-star on NBC's Jerry Bruckheimer-produced drama "Chase."

Additionally, Ashley Austin Morris has landed a lead on CBS' comedy pilot "True Love," Keir O'Donnell and Michael Stahl-David have been cast in ABC's hourlong pilot "Generation Y," Natasha Leggero, Cedric Yarbrough and Dave Holmes have joined NBC's comedy pilot "The Strip," Ashley Williams and Shanley Caswell have come aboard NBC's Adam Carolla comedy, and Sean Wing has been added to ABC's Bruckheimer-produced drama pilot "The Whole Truth."

"Chaos," from 20th TV, revolves around rogue CIA operatives who combat bureaucratic gridlock, rampant incompetence and political infighting.
