Commenting on the contest, Eugene Kaspersky, CEO and founder of Kaspersky Lab, stated: “Like the Dark Knight in his struggle against the insidious threats posed by Bane, Kaspersky Lab fights the equally insidious threats posed by cybercriminals all around the world; in this way we’re both quite simply ‘here to save the world.’ I think joining forces with The Dark Knight Rises is a compelling way to engage Batman fans across North America and reinforce our mission to fight cybercriminal activity around the world.”

The Hollywood Reporter says Elizabeth Mitchell is reuniting with Lost‘s J.J. Abrams for Revolution, the new sci-fi thriller coming to NBC on Monday, September 17th at 10pm. Mitchell will be joining Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Anna Lise Phillips, Zak Orth, Graham Rogers, J.D. Pardo, Giancarlo Esposito, David Lyons, Maria Howell, Tim Guinee, and Andrea Roth in the series created by Abrams and Eric Kripke (Supernatural).
The Plot:
Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Planes fall from the sky, hospitals shut down, and communication is impossible. And without any modern technology, who can tell us why?
Now, 15 years later, life is back to what it once was long before the industrial revolution: families living in quiet cul-de-sacs, and when the sun goes down lanterns and candles are lit. Life is slower and sweeter. Or is it? On the fringes of small farming communities, danger lurks. And a young woman’s life is dramatically changed when a local militia arrives and kills her father, who mysteriously – and unbeknownst to her – had something to do with the blackout. This brutal encounter sets her and two unlikely companions off on a daring coming-of-age journey to find answers about the past in the hopes of reclaiming the future.
From director Jon Favreau (Iron Man) and the fertile imaginations of J.J. Abrams (Lost, Person of Interest) and Eric Kripke (Supernatural), comes a surprising “what if” action-adventure series, where an unlikely hero will lead the world out of the dark. Literally.
Official Synopsis: Laguna Beach entrepreneurs Ben (Johnson), a peaceful and charitable Buddhist, and his closest friend Chon (Kitsch), a former Navy SEAL and ex-mercenary, run a lucrative, homegrown industry–raising some of the best marijuana ever developed. They also share a one-of-a-kind love with the extraordinary beauty Ophelia (Lively). Life is idyllic in their Southern California town…until the Mexican Baja Cartel decides to move in and demands that the trio partners with them.
When the merciless head of the BC, Elena (Salma Hayek), and her brutal enforcer, Lado (Benicio Del Toro), underestimate the unbreakable bond among these three friends, Ben and Chon–with the reluctant, slippery assistance of a dirty DEA agent (John Travolta)–wage a seemingly unwinnable war against the cartel. And so begins a series of increasingly vicious ploys and maneuvers in a high stakes, savage battle of wills.

Savages – The Plot:
Laguna Beach entrepreneurs Ben (Aaron Johnson), a peaceful and charitable marijuana producer, and his closest friend Chon (Taylor Kitsch), a former Navy SEAL and ex- mercenary, run a lucrative, homegrown industry–raising some of the best weed ever developed. They also share a one-of-a-kind love with the extraordinary beauty Ophelia (Blake Lively). Life is idyllic in their Southern California town…until the Mexican Baja Cartel decides to move in and demands that the trio partners with them.
When the merciless head of the BC, Elena (Salma Hayek), and her brutal enforcer, Lado (Benicio Del Toro), underestimate the unbreakable bond among these three friends, Ben and Chon– with the reluctant, slippery assistance of a dirty DEA agent (John Travolta)–wage a seemingly unwinnable war against the cartel. And so begins a series of increasingly vicious ploys and maneuvers in a high stakes, savage battle of wills.
Red Bull Soundstage and Worldwide Pants have chosen four winners who’ll be featured on the soundtrack to We Made This Movie, an independent film directed by Rob Burnett (the CEO of Worldwide Pants). The artists were chosen after musicians were asked to submit songs to accompany four pivotal scenes, with online audiences voting on the entries.
The top 24 songs will be included in an ‘Audience Choice’ contest with the winner getting the opportunity to perform on the Late Show with David Letterman in September. Beginning July 18th and running through August 7th, fans can go the Red Bull Soundstage website to vote for their favorite.
We Made This Movie will premiere online on September 20th followed by a Video on Demand and Digital release.
“Going in, we crossed our fingers and hoped we’d get four usable songs for our movie. Very early in the listening process, however, panic set in — the good kind. The quality of the music submitted by Red Bull Soundstage artists created an embarrassment of riches. We listened to nearly 1,200 songs and all we could ask was, ‘How many of these can we fit in the film?’” explained Burnett. “We’re thrilled to be able to expose these emerging artists to a wider audience, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say the thing that matters most: Red Bull Soundstage made our film better. Much, much better.”
And the four winners are:
· “Daylight” by Philadelphia-based singer/songwriter Christian Bitto accompanies the scene Run to the Chicken Plant.
· “Save Me” by Of Gentleman and Cowards , a four-piece pop rock band from Ontario, Canada will accompany the scene Funeral Drive.
· “Like A Star” by Miami-based songbird Laura Ault will set the mood for the scene LeBron Walks Kelly Home.
· The sounds of “Confession” by Los Angeles band D’Artagnan will be set to the scene Everyone Quits .
The Plot:
We Made This Movie is about five high school seniors set out to make a silly comedy movie, but accidentally end up making a dramatic and moving movie about their actual lives. The film will premiere in New York City on September 20, with a red carpet event and simultaneous, free live streaming of all activities and the movie.
The Sundance Channel has revealed their schedule for the remainder of 2012 as well as the first months of 2013. Among the new shows coming soon are the docu-series Get to Work along with Rectify, the network’s first wholly scripted production.
GET TO WORK
Premiere: August 13, 2012
1 Hour, 8 Episodes
It’s no secret that getting, and keeping, a job in this economy takes more than just luck. After enough rejection, it’s easy to feel entirely locked out of the game. Right now there are millions of Americans out of work, and this August, Sundance Channel’s original docu-series Get to Work will take you inside a groundbreaking back-to-work program in San Diego, a hardcore boot camp that gives hope to the chronically unemployed: those who have no jobs, no direction, and seemingly no chance. It’s a high-stakes make-or-break moment and, for most of the students, this is their last crack at a real future. But it doesn’t come easy; as they push their students to learn workplace skills that will land them a job, the Instructors contend with those who have never learned anything other than bad attitudes and bad behavior. Not everyone makes it to graduation.
RESTLESS
Premiere: December 2012
2-Part Mini-Series
Award-winning contemporary British novelist William Boyd penned both the book and script of this 2-part original mini-series, which depicts the thrilling story of a daughter who discovers that her mother was recruited as a spy during World War II. The series, slated to premiere in December 2012, will be produced by Emmy Award winner Hilary Bevan Jones under her shingle Endor Productions and directed by acclaimed theater and television director Edward Hall.
The cast includes Hayley Atwell, Rufus Sewell, Michelle Dockery, Michael Gambon and Charlotte Rampling. Filming will commence this summer in South Africa and the UK.
TOP OF THE LAKE
Premiere: 2013
1 Hour, 7 Episodes
Top of the Lake is a seven-part mini-series directed by Oscar® winner Jane Campion and Australian director Garth Davis, and written by Jane Campion and Gerard Lee. The project stars SAG® Award winner and three time Emmy® Award nominated actress Elisabeth Moss. In addition, Holly Hunter, who won a Best Actress Oscar® for her performance in Campion’s The Piano, stars alongside BAFTA® nominee Peter Mullan and AFI Award winning actor David Wenham. Lucy Lawless has a featured cameo.
Top of the Lake is a powerful and haunting mystery about the search for happiness in a paradise where honest work is hard to find. Set in the remote mountains of New Zealand, the story follows the disappearance of a five months pregnant 12-year-old named Tui who was last seen standing chest deep in a frozen lake. In this classic mythic struggle, investigating detective, Robin Griffin (Moss), must lose herself in order to find the missing girl. During the investigation, she collides with Matt Mitcham (Mullan), Tui’s father, a local drug lord, and G.J (Hunter), a guru at a local women’s camp. Robin will find this the case that tests her limits and sends her on a journey of self-discovery. This project marks the first time that Campion and Hunter have worked together since each won an Oscar for their work on The Piano in 1993.
RECTIFY
Premiere: 2013
1 Hour, 6 Episodes
Rectify, Sundance Channel’s first wholly owned scripted production, follows the life of Daniel Holden (Aden Young) upon his release from prison. After serving nineteen years on Georgia’s Death Row, DNA evidence casts doubt on the prosecution’s case. Holden was only eighteen years of age when convicted and sentenced to die for the brutal rape and murder of a sixteen year old girl. With doubt surrounding his innocence, Holden returns to his family and to his hometown where the murder occurred and where many still believe he is guilty. Daniel spent all of his adult life waiting to die. Now he must learn how to live again or decide if he even wants to while others determine whether or not he will have that chance.
The hour-long drama was created and written by Academy Award® winner Ray McKinnon who also serves as executive producer on the project under his shingle Zip Works. Gran Via’s Mark Johnson and Melissa Bernstein will serve as executive producers. This marks the second project for Johnson and Bernstein with AMC Networks. The first is AMC’s Emmy Award®-winning series, Breaking Bad.

In season two, Joe broke out his little black book to call on the help of celebrity friends and industry experts like: American Fashion Designer Rachel Roy, Socialite and Fashion Trendsetter Olivia Palermo, Rock Musician Adam Lambert and Model Veronica Webb, but this time around he’s rolling out the red-carpet once again with even more surprise guest appearances.

THRILLER THURSDAYS: Turn off the lights and lock the front door Thursdays at 9pm as Sundance Channel
Quentin Tarantino presents The Man With the Iron Fists, an action-adventure inspired by kung-fu classics as interpreted by his longtime collaborators RZA and Eli Roth. Making his debut as a big-screen director and leading man, RZA—alongside a stellar international cast led by Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu—tells the epic story of warriors, assassins and a lone outsider hero in nineteenth-century China who must unite to destroy the clan traitor who would destroy them all.
Since his arrival in China’s Jungle Village, the town’s blacksmith (RZA) has been forced by radical tribal factions to create elaborate tools of destruction. When the clans’ brewing war boils over, the stranger channels an ancient energy to transform himself into a human weapon. As he fights alongside iconic heroes and against soulless villains, one man must harness this power to become savior of his adopted people.
Blending astonishing martial-arts sequences from some of the masters of this world with the signature vision he brings as the leader of the Wu-Tang Clan and as one of hip-hop’s most dominant figures of the past two decades, RZA embarks upon his most ambitious, stylized and thrilling project to date.
Grave Encounters 2 picks up where the original left off, with a film student named Alex Wright out to prove the movie wasn’t just a movie but actually really happened.
The Plot:
“While researching the events depicted in the original film and the subsequent disappearance of its lead ‘actor’ Sean Rogerson, Alex Wright received a bizarre video from a mysterious blogger named ‘DeathAwaits666.’ Appearing to show Rogerson still alive but trapped inside the Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital from Grave Encounters, Alex and his friends agree to meet the blogger at the infamous hospital in hopes of learning what really happened. To their horror, they quickly find themselves face-to-face with unspeakable evil. Realizing that they must be smarter and faster than Rogerson and his crew to avoid suffering the same fate, they use their knowledge of the original film to do whatever it takes to survive.”
