Following its premiere at Tribeca Film Festival, Cinedigm (CIDM) has acquired all North American distribution rights to MEADOWLAND, a beautiful, haunting depiction of the psychological toll that a tragedy takes on a New York couple. Driven by a powerful, career-high performance by Olivia Wilde (Her; Drinking Buddies; Rush), the film also features Luke Wilson (Ride; Skeleton Twins; Anchorman; The Family Stone), Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men, Listen Up Philip; The One I Love; Get Him To The Greek), Giovanni Ribisi (Results; Selma; Public Enemies; A Million Way To Die In The West), Ty Simpkins (Jurassic World, Iron Man 3, Insidious) and John Leguizamo (Chef; Ride Along; John Wick; American Ultra). The script was written by Chris Rossi, and features a score by Adam Taylor (August: Osage County).

On the trailblazing March 2nd episode of ABC Family's hit critically-acclaimed drama series THE FOSTERS, viewers witnessed a pair of 13-year-old best friends explore one of the most time-honored, sometimes awkward rituals of typical adolescence: declaring their attraction for one another with a kiss. The only big difference this time around? The two pals at the center of this blooming romance are both male: Jude (stirringly portrayed by Hayden Byerly) and Connor (played by Gavin Macintosh). Prior to the airing of the history-making episode, BroadwayWorld contributing editor Michael L. Quintos posed a few questions to the young actor about his role, his life on set, and the significance of his character's existence in today's modern television landscape.

Deadline writes that Benjamin Bratt has signed on for the thriller THE INFILTRATOR, directed by Brad Furman and starring Bryan Cranston and Diane Kruger.

The Semi-Finals were tonight on DANCING WITH THE STARS! Can you believe we're already here? I sure can't! The remaining couples battled it out for a spot in next week's two-night finale. The unofficial theme of the week was 'Plugged/Unplugged,' which had each couple dance two styles to two different versions of the same song: the original and acoustic versions. I'm really excited about this because acoustic performances are some of my favorites to listen to.

ABC celebrates the joy of the holidays, including the world premiere of Pixar Animation Studios', “Toy Story That Time Forgot,” the return of the competition series, “The Great Christmas Light Fight,” special musical performances on “CMA Country Christmas,” and classic, animated Christmas specials from Walt Disney Animation Studios, PEANUTS, DreamWorks Animation and Dr. Seuss, among others.

This week on DANCING WITH THE STARS, things were done a little differently. On this night of #DynamicDuos, the couple with the best score of the night was automatically immune from elimination. The other six competitors were pit against one another in a dance battle for bonus judges' points. Aside from the immune contestant, elimination went as planned.

Things are shaking up this week on DANCING WITH THE STARS as the 'Switch-Up' performances begin. This is one of my personal favorite weeks of the show. I always enjoy seeing the different dynamics of the changed pairs-it always makes for an interesting night, and tonight should be no exception.

Big things happened this week on DANCING WITH THE STARS. The theme for this Monday's episode was 'My Most Memorable Year.' That meant different things for different contestants, and I was intrigued by the song choices and the reasons behind them.

This week on DANCING WITH THE STARS, the couples paid tribute to the big screen. I was excited not only to see what everyone came up with, but was hoping that there would be movie-musical songs weaved into the episode-I was not disappointed!

The 'Fresh Prince of Bel Air' actor had to text his former co-star during rehearsals in order to get permission to use the hit tune for his performance.

Week two of ABC's popular dance competition DANCING WITH THE STARS celebrates the stars' favorite tunes with #MyJamMonday. This should be a great week, not only because it lets the audience know a little bit more about the performers, but because all of those first-week jitters are (hopefully) gone!

It's #myjammonday this week on 'Dancing with the Stars.' The 12 remaining celebrities dance to their favorite songs on MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

ABC's hit reality competition show DANCING WITH THE STARS premiered its 19th season last night with a bang, and tonight was the first elimination round. Now I'm recapping this show as it happens, so before it is revealed, my guess for the couple up for elimination is Lolo Jones and her partner Keo. I'd hate to see her partner go because this is his first DWTS season, but between Jones's stiff moves and sour attitude through the night, she is my pick to go home.
