Product Description: In Clark Duke's directorial debut, Kyle (Liam Hemsworth) and Swin (Clark Duke) live by the orders of an Arkansas-based drug kingpin named Frog (Vince Vaughn), whom they've never met.

Swin then settles into his day job by taking up a relationship with Johnna (Eden Brolin) against orders to blend in while Kyle continues to question his night job by trying to figure out who Frog really is. Their world is then upended after one too many inept decisions, and Kyle, Swin, and Johanna find themselves directly in Frog's crosshairs, who mistakenly sees them as a threat to his empire.

Based on John Brandon's best-selling book of the same name, ARKANSAS weaves together three decades of Deep South drug trafficking to explore the cycle of violence that turns young men into criminals, and old men into legends.

GHOSTBUSTERS Reboot Cast Updates and Set Photos

Paul Feig's "Ghostbusters" reboot is filming in Boston, but that hasn't stopped Feig from sharing quite a lot of updates. We have some new images (below) featuring the Ecto-1, the Ghostbusters' iconic vehicle, the new Proton pack used to capture the immaterial entities, the new uniforms that the ladies will be wearing on the job, and three set photos.

The new crew will feature Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones, and we also have some updates regarding the supporting cast. Andy Garcia ("The Untouchables") and Michael K. Williams ("Boardwalk Empire") have just joined the cast in unspecified roles. It was also announced that Neil Casey ("Other Space") is on board as the film's villain, and Chris Hemsworth ("Thor") will star as the Ghostbusters' secretary, a role played by Annie Potts in the original.

The new "Ghostbusters" will be released on July 22nd, 2016.

And until we get an actual official synopsis, here are some plot details reported by the Boston Herald:

"Wiig and McCarthy play a pair of unheralded authors who write a book positing that ghosts are real. Flash forward a few years and Wiig lands a prestigious teaching position at Columbia U. Which is pretty sweet, until her book resurfaces and she is laughed out of academia. Wiig reunites with McCarthy and the other two proton pack-packing phantom wranglers, and she gets some sweet revenge when ghosts invade Manhattan and she and her team have to save the world."

12 New THE PURGE: ANARCHY Posters and Banners: United They Purge

A batch of twelve new posters and banners for James DeMonaco's "The Purge: Anarchy" have been released online today. The sequel expands the universe of The Purge and judging from the new posters we're going to get a much broader picture of what goes on during that one crazy night when all crimes are allowed, and a much more intense tone. I liked the first one, despite its flaws, but I always thought that the way to really do a Purge movie is to go out in the streets and really show what it means to have a night when people are no longer constrained by law and order. The sequel stars Frank Grillo, Michael K. Williams, Zach Gilford, Kiele Sanchez and Carmen Ejogo.
