Dave Franco and Alison Brie star in the trailer for Together, written and directed by Michael Shanks. The film is the latest project from the real-life couple.

The trailer, set to the song “Happy Together” by the Turtles, finds Brie’s character (Millie) as she appears to meet with a therapist to express that she and Franco’s character (Tim) “haven’t been on the same page” since a move to the countryside. While the couple are shown sharing a passionate kiss, their lips briefly get stuck together as if bound by glue. More strange and disturbing experiences suggest a supernatural force in or around their new home is binding the couple together.

A film synopsis reads: “Years into their relationship, Tim and Millie find themselves at a crossroads as they move to the country, abandoning all that is familiar in their lives except each other. With tensions already flaring, a nightmarish encounter with a mysterious, unnatural force threatens to corrupt their lives, their love and their flesh.”

Together will premiere in theaters July 30; see the trailer – HERE.

Hulu’s “Prison Break” reboot pilot has added three series regulars, and revealed the first character details.

Hailing from ‘Mayans M.C.’ co-creator Elgin James, the Prison Break reboot takes place in the same overall universe as the original series but will not feature the leading duo of Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell).

Deadline confirms that Emily Browning, Lukas Gage and Drake Rodger have been cast as regulars in the Prison Break reboot. Browning will portray Cassidy Collins “an ex-soldier turned corrections officer, Collins takes a job at one of the deadliest prisons in America.” Gage will portray Jackson, “a politician from a well-to-do background, Jackson is in the midst of his first congressional campaign;” and Rodger portrays the role of Tommy, ‘an inmate at one of the deadliest prisons in America, Tommy was incarcerated ten years ago.’  Exact plot details are not being revealed as of press time.

The original Prison Break debuted in 2005, and followed  Scofield (Miller), a young man determined to prove his convicted brother Burrows’ (Purcell) innocence and save him from death row by hatching an elaborate plan to escape prison. The series aired on FOX for four seasons, followed by a made-for-TV film titled The Final Break which aired 12 days after the Season 4 finale in 2009.  In 2015, a Prison Break sequel limited series starring Miller and Purcell served as a fifth season on FOX. All episodes of the crime drama are available to stream on Hulu.
