Following a successful festival run and multi-city theatrical release Philip Gelatt's THEY REMAIN will be available on VOD and on Demand on Tuesday, May 29.
The theatrical trailer has been released for the new film THEY REMAIN. Directed by Phillip Gelatt, the film stars William Jackson Harper ('Paterson,' 'True Story') and Rebecca Henderson ('Mistress America').
Based on the 2010 short story, '-30-' by award-winning author Laird Barron, THEY REMAIN explores the evolving relationship between Keith and Jessica, two scientists who are employed by a vast, impersonal corporation to investigate an unspeakable horror that took place at the remote encampment of a mysterious cult. Working and living in a state-of-the-art, high tech environment that is completely at odds with their surroundings, they spend their days gathering physical evidence, analyzing it, and reporting on their findings.
Check out these latest photos from the season one final of THE GOOD PLACE starring Kristen Bell. The show follows Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell, 'House of Lies,' 'Veronica Mars'), an ordinary woman who enters the afterlife and, thanks to some kind of error, is sent to the Good Place instead of the Bad Place, which is definitely where she belongs. While hiding in plain sight from Michael (Ted Danson, 'CSI,' 'Cheers'), the wise architect of the Good Place (who doesn't know he's made a mistake), she's determined to shed her old way of living and discover the awesome (or, at least, the pretty good) person within.
This news is heaven sent! NBC has renewed its comedy THE GOOD PLACE for a season three, as reported by Deadline. The season will have 13 episodes, just like its previous two go-arounds.
